1 4 WONG'S SUCCESS (CE107) G Mosse B Travelled nicely 3-back on fence about 4Ls back at halfway and same on straightening, picked up well to lead over 200 M out, pulled clear.
2 12 EVER KING (CE147) D Whyte V/TT Slow to begin, towards rear about 7Ls off speed at halfway, wide and 5Ls off pace turning for home, stayed on well to nick 2nd close home.
3 11 CLASSIC KING (CD256) K S Yu B/TT Settled around 10th place and 6Ls back at halfway, edged a little closer in midfield on straightening, finished quite well only to be tipped out of quinella final strides.
4 7 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) O Doleuze -- Box-seat position 2Ls off pace at 1400 M, eased to the front at 800 M and 1L clear at final turn, headed over 200 M out and one-paced on the run-in.
5 8 FOREVER RICHES (CG174) E Saint-Martin B About 9th and 6Ls off speed at 1000 M, lost ground on the circle and 7Ls back in 12th taking final turn, ran on fairly past beaten rivals.
6 13 AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) D Nikolic B Settled rearward on fence about 7Ls off speed at 1200 M, closer and going well turning for home, 2Ls down in 5th and every hope of a place at 200 M, couldn't follow through.
7 2 BAAZIGAR (CG171) C K Tong -- 2-wide and 2Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, moved into 3rd at home turn and upsides winner at 300 M, given every chance to at least place, no excuses.
8 3 SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) M Nunes B/TT Settled about 10Ls rear early on as usual, niggled along to take closer order taking home turn, never dangerous.
9 5 NAMJONG GOODLUCK (CE267) B Prebble B Nicely placed in midfield about 5Ls off pace until halfway, rideen along to take a hand at final turn but only briefly loomed a place hope, tired final 200 M.
10 9 SUNRISE RAINBOW (CD209) Y T Cheng SR 3Ls behind in 6th on fence at halfway, still right there off home turn, found nothing off the bridle.
11 14 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) W M Lai V/XB On the pace but caught 4-wide no cover down the back, 1L down and 3-wide no cover at 800 M, in 2nd at final turn but ceded ground very quickly.
12 6 LUCKY LEGEND (CG306) M W Leung -- Another poor effort, always under pressure in rear and never any closer than 8Ls off the speed.
13 1 SHINING DAY (CE163) K L Chui B/TT Prominent when 3-wide no cover early on at 1200 M, lost position very rapidly on the circle and beaten before the home turn.
14 10 BARRACUDA (CB320) H W Lai -- Hard driven along to lead at 1400 M but lacked the pace to cross to fence, couldn't lie up with them and headed 800 M out, soon beaten, unacceptable effort and to trial.
