1 8 FUN TOGETHER (H041) C L Chau TT1 Raced in midfield between runners before improving into the 1,1 position at about half-way. Moved into clear running shortly after straightening, continued to close steadily until stealing the lead in final stride.
2 4 VICTORY SCHOLARS (E091) Y L Chung V Pushed forward, raced second & held the leader three wide early before eventually being crossed near the 650m. Moved to the lead just before the 200m, looked the winner until being caught in final stride, narrowly beaten.
3 2 UNIVERSAL HORIZON (G360) C Y Ho -- Drifted back to last place after the start when racing away from the rail. Continued at the back but under 5L from the lead on straightening before closing off strongly down the outside in the last furlong, very narrow third.
4 13 SUPER HIGHWAY (G050) K Teetan H/V/TT Raced just worse than midfield when caught three wide but with cover. Shifted out wider again on straightening when 3L from the lead before closing off strongly down the outside last furlong to be only beaten a Neck on line.
5 10 TOGEPI (G458) L Ferraris -- Raced in midfield between runners for the majority. Hampered between runners passing 400m when only 2.5L from lead, got clear in last furlong & was closing well before being unable to improve when no room in final strides.
6 12 TIMESTORM (G109) H Bowman XB/TT Drifted back to race worse than midfield between runners. Entered last section about 4L from lead, had no clear run when racing tight between rivals from 350m until about the 100m & was then not tested final stages, forgive.
7 3 MULTISUPER (G416) Z Purton -- Began fairly but was ridden forward to improve to the lead but did so when being held three wide off the rail. Eventually crossed to the rail near the 650m, joined & headed near 200m before being over-run but not beaten far.
8 14 DOUBLE SHOW (G250) V Borges B/TT Improved after start but was left racing three wide with cover in midfield, shifted wider on straightening, wasn't far behind at 150m before being hampered by winner near 100m & faded out late to midfield.
9 6 DENFIELD (G471) S De Sousa TT1 Slow to begin but mustered speed to get position in midfield along the rail. Stayed near the inside entering last section when just over 3L from the lead & held that margin all the way to the line without ever threatening.
10 11 ORIENTAL SPIRIT (H077) L Hewitson CP Steadied from outside gate, taken behind runners to the rail & raced third last along the inside early. Straightened just over 3L from lead, dashed ok passing 300m but was then only moderate & maintained deficit late.
11 1 PINS PRINCE (G013) A Badel H/P/TT Steadied & was taken rearwards but was caught racing three wide with cover near the tail. Hung outwards passing 600m & raced without cover thereafter, was the widest on straightening but weakened poorly (bled).
12 5 AUGUST MOON (D409) L Currie V/TT Began well but was not ridden forward & was allowed to drift right back to second last. Entered last section 5L from the lead but did nothing in the dash to the line & was long third last.
13 7 FAITHFUL CHAMPION (H014) A Hamelin H/TT Began fairly but was ridden along & improved to race 4th along the rail before eventually racing on the leaders back from the 600m. Was beaten off soon after entering the straight before weakening poorly to long second last.
14 9 HAPPY HORSE (H061) M L Yeung H1/TT Ridden forward after start but was caught 4 wide early before racing three wide without cover outside the leader from the 700m. Only about 2L behind on straightening but was immediately beaten off & weakened badly to last.
