1 1 TOMODACHI KOKOROE (H303) K Teetan TT From wide draw settled close up in 4th, responded strongly under top weight, led nearing 100M and extended to win comfortably.
2 7 BEAUTY WAVES (H294) Z Purton SR/XB Sped to the front, led uncontested setting steady pace in middle stages, kept on well turning for home but no match for winner final 150M, held on for 2nd.
3 9 RIGHTEOUS ARION (H059) Y L Chung H/TT Settled behind midfield, 5Ls to make up 400M, found the line well to claim 3rd near line.
4 6 A AMERIC TE SPECSO (H037) M F Poon B Dropped back to race towards the rear, driven along 500M, ran on nicely down the outside, just missed 3rd.
5 5 POWER KOEPP (E301) M Chadwick E Settled in 5th spot never far off leaders, briefly went 3rd mid-straight, caught by pursuers late.
6 4 ARMOUR EAGLE (G093) K C Leung B/XB/TT Bumped on jumping, settled ahead of midfield, came with an even run but never looked a winning hope.
7 10 GOLDEN DARCI (H470) K De Melo H-/P1/XB1/TT- From draw 1 obtained a midfield position along the fence, lacked the dash to launch a serious bid. No threat to leaders.
8 2 BRAVE STAR (G268) L Hewitson XB Crowded after the start, chased leaders, gave nothing when asked 400M and fell back through the field. (Jockey - raced flat.)
9 8 HOSS (H055) A Atzeni XB-/B/TT Held up behind midfield, driven along 450M but couldn't master any sort of challenge in the straight.
10 3 VIVA CHALEUR (G368) H Bowman TT From wide draw shifted across behind runners, raced near last and failed to finish off. (Jockey concerned with his mount's action when it was racing on the wrong lead leg early stages.)
11 12 SPEED SWORD (H397) A Badel TT Raced ungenerously after 1000M, was a long way last at the turn, made no impression on his Happy Valley debut. (Jockey : raced greenly throughout the race.)
12 11 MEGA BONUS (E184) A Hamelin V Settled just off the pace, under pressure to maintain its position from halfway, faded out in the straight to finish last.
