1 12 PLEASANT JOURNEY (CC266) W M Lai B-/V1/TT Head up at 1200 M when 5Ls back in 8th and 2-wide, marginally closer but 4-wide off final bend, picked up nicely to lead 150 M out, stayed on.
2 10 JOY AND TREASURE (CD251) G Mosse V/TT Slow break, 3-back on fence in 7th when 4Ls off speed at 1100 M, tight for room from 600 M to homestretch when 3Ls off in 6th, gave chase fairly but never likely to catch winner.
3 11 WIN DANCER (CC357) F Coetzee TT Always on the pace, a neck down in 2nd out 2-wide at 1200 M, under pressure when 1L down in 2nd at final bend and same at 200 M, failed to quicken.
4 5 SMARTY (CE036) H W Lai TT Awkward break, switched from wide gate to fence, 6Ls back in 9th at 1200 M, 5Ls back off home turn, ran past a few tired rivals to be nearest at finish.
5 1 SOARING ANGEL (CC360) D Whyte B Led on fence by a neck at 1200 M, about 1L clear from 1000 M to the 200 M when treading water, weakened quickly.
6 7 WE'RE BUDDIES (CC142) S Dye B/SR 2-wide and 3Ls off pace in 5th at 1100 M, hard ridden to lie up 700 M out and tended to hang in on circle, still 3Ls back in 5th on straightening, plugged on at home.
7 3 HONG KONG GEM (CE114) Y T Cheng -- At least 6Ls or 7Ls last on fence through to home straight, made very minor late ground.
8 6 ATHLETIC GOLD (CC241) O Doleuze B/TT Ideally placed on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th from 1200 M to home straight, all out to improve from similar spot at 200 M, very weak inside final 200 M.
9 8 MILLENNIUM SUPREME (BV228) K T Yeung CP/TT 3-wide with cover in 10th when 6Ls off speed at 1100 M, not much better off taking final bend, no impression.
10 4 RISING WIN (CC089) C Brown SR2/V2 Always about one from rear about 5Ls or 6Ls off the speed and 2-wide, never remotely dangerous.
11 9 JUST VICTORY (CB216) C K Tong SR 3-wide no cover disputing lead at 1200 M, 2Ls down in 3rd out wide at 800 M, struggling to hold this position off home turn, dropped out rapidly.
12 2 ACCELERATION (CD400) B Prebble -- 3-wide with cover when 3Ls behind lead in 6th at 1100 M, under pressure to maintain position at 600 M and slipping back on the turn for home, capitulated.
