1 | 9 | WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) | O Doleuze | TT | Always 3-wide and only briefly without cover down the back about 4Ls off speed in mid-division, 2Ls down in 5th off final bend, kept on finding to lead about 40 M out and win. |
2 | 4 | ELFHELM (CC342) | A Starke | B | 7Ls off pace in 10th out 2-wide at 1200 M, about 5Ls behind travelling well on straightening, picked up well to go 2nd in final 30 M but post came too soon to reel in the winner. |
3 | 2 | KINGSGATE GLORY (CH020) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Led on fence a mile out, always about 1L clear until the home straight and same 200 M out, only headed inside final 50 M and missed the quinella just a few strides later. |
4 | 8 | FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) | F Coetzee | -- | 7Ls off pace in 11th at 1200 M, a little closer but 3-wide and niggled along at 800 M, 4Ls down on straightening, could only stay on at the same tempo and never seriously threatened to place. |
5 | 6 | SEA TREASURE (CD335) | C Soumillon | B/XB | Settled about 10Ls last at the 1200 M, about 6Ls last into home straight, made some fair late ground through beaten rivals to be nearest at finish. |
6 | 10 | FOREVER RICHES (CG174) | E Saint-Martin | B | Checked at the start, about 7Ls back in 12th at halfway and only marginally closer at top of homestretch, stayed on evenly out widest of all, closest at the line. |
7 | 5 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | S Dye | PC-/B2/H/TT | No early speed and soon one from rear on fence about 8Ls behind lead, about 6Ls down turning for home, plugged on dourly late along the inner but never dangerous. |
8 | 11 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | D Nikolic | B1 | Not the best start, 6Ls back in 9th on fence at 1200 M, still worse than midfield when 5Ls back and hanging in taking home turn, always held. |
9 | 13 | COME HO CHOI (CE082) | D Whyte | B | Checked soon after the start, mostly 2-wide in midfield or better within 3Ls of the speed prior to home straight, all out to be a weakening 3rd passing the 200 M, faded thereafter. |
10 | 7 | WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) | Y T Cheng | SR/V | 2-wide and 5Ls back in 8th at 1200 M, travelled okay until straightening for home, found very little off the bridle, another meek effort. |
11 | 14 | KA KA SMART (CG042) | W M Lai | B | 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1400 M before being pushed out 3-wide no cover at 1200 M, pressed on out deep to go 1L back in 2nd at top of home straight, this run quickly petered out. |
12 | 3 | WONG'S SUCCESS (CE107) | B Prebble | -- | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th through to final bend, found zero under pressure and surrendered very tamely. |
13 | 1 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | K S Yu | XB | 3-back the fence about 4Ls back in 6th at the 1200 M, same position but sorely lacking a change of gear off the home turn, faded out. |
14 | 12 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | C K Tong | -- | Pressed out 3-wide no cover early to race in 2nd out 2-wide about 1L off pace from 1200 M, still close up but labouring into home straight entrance, emptied out rapidly. |
