1 11 LUCKY ENCOUNTER (H274) K Teetan -- Up with early pace before emerging as leader 900M, was strongly challenge by rival from 300M, kept finding under pressure to prevail at the finish.
2 5 REWARD SMILE (H256) L Currie -- Up with early pace, sat behind leaders from 900M, moved up to challenge from 300M, almost drew level 150M but winner found extra towards the finish.
3 9 NORTHERN BEACHES (H266) M Chadwick -- Began well, with leaders early before dropping back to a position ahead of midfield, lay in under pressure in straight and reluctant to move into clear, finished well late to be nearest at the line.
4 10 SILVER SONIC (H171) H Bentley XB From wide draw moved up to track the pace, fought hard passing 400M to stay in contention, held by first 2 final 200M, lost 3rd close home. (Jockey : instructed to ride his mount in a forward position from outside barrier.)
5 4 SHINING GEM (C058) E C W Wong B Held up towards the rear, kept battling from top of straight, steadied 200M costing momentum, did best work late but had no clear run final 50M and couldn't be tested to the finish.
6 12 COMPASSION SPIRIT (D167) M L Yeung B Raced along the fence just ahead of midfield, lacked a finishing kick passing 400M, always held by leaders.
7 3 SHOW RESPECT (H138) B Avdulla SR/XB/TT Crossed to a midfield position, swung wide for home, ran on fairly towards the line. Never a serious threat.
8 8 READY TO WIN (E422) C Y Ho XB/TT Settled towards the rear, took time to muster early straight, stayed on mildly final stages but never a winning threat.
9 6 PRINCE OF PORTY (H009) Z Purton -- Driven forward to be pressing leader on outside, found disappointingly little on straightening, gave ground rapidly 250M. (Jockey : raced in a disappointing manner / Roarer.)
10 7 NISHIKADO (H172) K C Leung P1 Taken back to the rear, failed to progress passing 400M, never involved.
11 1 KIMBERLEY (H329) L Hewitson -- Dropped back to the rear, pushed along 500M but lacked any response, soon left behind on straightening.
