1 14 FIGS (CE141) S Dye B Away well, led out wide setting a good pace and clear by 2Ls on rail at 1200 M, a neck clear at top of home straight but kicked on again 2Ls clear at 200 M, all out to hang on.
2 1 EVER KING (CE147) K L Chui V/TT Worse than midfield with cover about 6Ls off pace down backstretch, edged a little closer turning for home, stayed on dourly under pressure but winning post came a stride too soon.
3 10 CAPTAIN BUNNY (CD367) C W Wong -- Better than midfield with cover about 4Ls or so off pace until home turn, stayed on OK for a place but well held from the quinella inside final 200 M.
4 3 CHARMING SPEEDY (CE186) D Whyte B/TT Awkwardly away, 3-back on fence around midfield about 5Ls from the pace through first half, under pressure to improve off final bend, made some modest late ground.
5 2 FEBURO (CE203) D Nikolic B 3-wide with cover in rear bunch about 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, similar margin behind when 4-wide taking final bend, plugged away down the centre of the track.
6 13 WISHING WELL (CD368) H W Lai B 2Ls off speed in 2nd at 1200 M, a neck down in 2nd off final bend, one-paced and weakened inside final 200 M.
7 12 SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) F Coetzee -- Restrained to be about 8Ls last at 1200 M, 4-wide and still last off home turn, went past a few tired rivals on the run-in.
8 8 DEFLECT (CD094) C K Tong XB/H/TT 4Ls back in 4th on fence at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 4th off home turn, found very little off the bridle and weakened out.
9 6 HURRICANE WAY (CH039) Y T Cheng B Lost ground at start, raced 5-back on fence towards rear about 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, marginally closer turning for home but that was as close as he got.
10 9 SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) G Mosse B Raced keenly and more prominently than normal about 3Ls off pace out 3-wide no cover in 3rd at 1400 M, ridden along to stay in touch entering home straight, gave ground quickly.
11 4 TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) O Doleuze B Midfield and caught 4-wide no cover about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, still very wide turning for home and well back, posed no danger to principals.
12 11 NOBLE BOSS (CD360) M Nunes TT2 Slowly away and always in rear trio, never better than 6Ls off speed at any stage.
13 7 COP HILL LAD (CD292) H K Yim -- Raced keenly with head up early when 4-wide no cover in midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace, struggling to lie up turning for home, dropped out in straight.
14 5 DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) K T Yeung B2 Always towards rear, about 6Ls back in 10th at 1200 M, didn't manage to get much closer.
