2 2 M M JOHNNY (D115) H Bowman B Had a nice run in the 1,1 for the majority. Moved up to share the lead fleetingly at the 100m before being unable to go with winner late. Held second.
3 6 HEAVENLY THOUGHT (C163) A Hamelin B Steadied after the start & taken back from outside gate to share last place. Shifted outwards after straightening when still rearward before making late ground down the outside to fast finishing third in final stride.
4 1 LORIZ (C036) C Y Ho B2 Pushed forward & raced outside the leader for the majority. Moved to the lead at the 175m, joined at the 100m, battled on well & wasn't beaten far.
5 10 ZACIAN (E078) S De Sousa -- Steadied after start & shifted back to race third last before racing in final pair from the 700m. Swung very wide on cornering before making some late headway down the outside to be beaten just over 2L from a long way back.
6 7 SHENRON (E284) C L Chau H-/PC/XB/TT- Showed some speed at start, raced third before racing on the leaders back from the 600m. Stayed along the rail in the straight but couldn't go with his immediate challengers in the final furlong & weakened slightly late.
7 11 TRAVEL GLORY (E170) K Teetan B Bumped at start & was then steadied & taken back to race last after first bend. Raced third last along the rail from about 800m, stayed along rail on straightening & passed a few tiring rivals late stages without threatening.

10 9 LITTLE PLAYER (E066) M F Poon V-/XB/B2/TT Began awkwardly, bumped & lost ground at the start & consequently raced just worse than midfield along the rail. Improved to midfield after 800m mark, emptied out mid-straight & weakened out quickly in last furlong.
11 12 DASHING GENIUS (G064) Y L Chung TT Raced a touch wide after the start before steadying at the first bend & racing one off the rail in midfield. Entered last section 4.5L from the lead but did little in the final 300m & weakened poorly to second last.
