1 1 HONG KONG HALL (G315) H Bowman TT Quickly into stride, led uncontested into straight, kept responding to pressure passing 300M, held on well from pursuing rivals at the line.
2 10 SKY HEART (J092) H Bentley TT1 From wide draw settled at the rear further back than intended, closed off well when asked on straightening, got 2nd near line in an eye-catching effort. (Lay in final 200M / Jockey questioned re riding tactics.)
3 8 PATCH OF THETA (H485) C Y Ho H/XB Restrained to a position ahead of midfield, 3-wide making the home turn, battled steadily home to claim 3rd in a busy finish.
4 6 LUCKY FIONN (J047) A Hamelin TT1 Dropped back from wide draw and adopted a rearward position 7Ls back, worked into it nicely from 350M, made up good ground in the run home to get up for 4th late.
5 14 SONIC BOOM (H144) A Badel XB/B1/TT Crowded on jumping, raced in midfield along the fence, stayed on moderately over final 300M, lacked a kick and was safely held in the end.
6 9 SILVER DESTINY (J096) K Teetan -- Chased leaders along the inside, moved up to 2nd early straight, tried hard to get to leader but succumbed late, lost several places close home.
7 12 LOYAL BO BO (J011) M Chadwick SR1 Caught 4-wide without cover from outside draw, maintained a position just ahead of midfield home turn, kept battling until no extra inside 100M. (Jockey was advised his ride in early stages lacked initiative.)
8 13 HIGH PERCENTAGE (G413) C L Chau B/TT Always in touch, raced keenly in early stages, had every chance turning home, improved to 3rd mid-straight but couldn't sustain effort final 150M.
9 2 SIGHT HERO (D487) L Hewitson BO/TT Jumped well, taken back to a midfield position, was commencing to finish off the race when disappointed for running 200M and had difficulty obtaining clear running after. Inconclusive run.
10 4 AMAZINGTEAMWORK (H488) Y L Chung TT1 Jumped fairly, settled near last 5Ls off the pace, offered very little on straightening, never posed a serious threat.
11 5 BOWSER (H460) A Atzeni -- Tracked leader, checked 200M when already beaten, no extra late stages.
12 7 PATCH OF KINGDOM (H478) M F Poon -- Caught wide in a position behind midfield from draw 11, struggled to keep up 550M, never dangerous.
13 3 SHINING FORTUNE (G252) B Avdulla P-/XB/PC2 Settled at the back of midfield, held up for clear running until 200M, made no impression after.
