1 12 ASIA STAR (CA264) M W Leung B1 Jumped awkwardly, then travelled 4Ls off lead along the fence around midfield. Saved ground rounding the bend to creep closer on the rails. Ran on well after straightening and took command 150 M to score comfortably.
2 3 CLASSIC RIZZI (CA056) H K Yim -- Niggled along early and soon sat behind leader. Not much room to move forward after straightening and was steadied and shifted in to avoid another runner near 200 M. Ran on to grab 2nd on the line but no match with the winner.
3 2 AMITY (CA036) D Dunn BO Sent to the front from wide out to cross over and lead. Headed near 150 M, then kept on the same pace and just held on for a minor placing.
4 6 ETERNAL START (BV079) W C Marwing B Niggled along in the early stages to be prominent from a difficult gate. Went more forward to sit outside leader before making the home bend. Plugged on in straight, just missed a place on the line.
5 7 GRANVILLE ISLAND (CB118) D Whyte B Broke well, travelled kindly 3-wide 2-3Ls off lead prominently. Kept on one pace in straight without threatening.
6 11 WINWIN COMBINATION (BP340) K C Tsang B Raced wide 4Ls behind lead around midfield. Caught wider upon straightening, one paced to the line.
7 5 HONOURABLE (CB221) B Fayd'herbe -- Prominent but wide early. Eased back to be in midfield 4Ls off lead before making the home bend. Continued to travel wide into straight, unable to produce extra and kept on the same pace to the finish.
8 10 CHEROKEE EXPRESS (CA263) F Coetzee SR/TT Outpaced early, towards rear. Ran past a few beaten runners after straightening, made no improvement thereafter.
9 1 QUICK NEWS (CB178) K K Lai B/TT Slowly away, towards the rear, then pushed along to travel closer to midfield. Made no improvement in straight.
10 8 HEAVENLY WIND (BP313) C Williams -- Raced 2-wide 2-3Ls behind lead. Unable to quicken after straightening, dropped out steadily from 200 M.
11 9 WILFUL FLIGHT (BV179) K S Yu B/TT Steadily dropped to the rear. Never in contention.
12 4 FAIRWAY FINDER (BV021) A Marcus B/TT Jumped awkwardly and lost a lot of ground. Well back. Never a factor.
