1 7 DASH (CG236) W M Lai B Disputed very early lead out 3-wide no cover, parked 2-wide about a neck off pace until leading at top of home straight, 1L clear at the 200 M, stayed on dourly to score.
2 6 HAPPY HEROES (CD261) Y T Cheng PC 7Ls last out 2-wide at the 1200 M, about 5Ls down and one from rear turning for home, ran on well out wider for 2nd to be closest at the finish.
3 2 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) B Prebble B Had the run of the race on fence in 3rd about 2Ls behind leader until home bend, given every chance to run the quinella only too lack the required turn of foot.
4 5 CLASSIC KING (CD256) E Saint-Martin B/TT Caught 3-wide no cover before getting in 2-wide in 8th about 5Ls off speed at the 1200 M, same margin back but 4-wide (widest of all) turning for home, ran on well, nearest at the line.
5 9 SPRING SMILES (CG269) D Nikolic B 5Ls behind in 8th when 4-back on the fence at the 1200 M, closer but a little short of room taking final turn, stayed on fairly along the fence, never nearer.
6 3 SEA TREASURE (CD335) K T Yeung B/XB One from rear about 7Ls off pace on fence at the 1200 M, niggled along thereafter and 5Ls down in rear turning for home, made some minor late ground.
7 8 THREE CLUBS (CG149) D Whyte -- Switched inside from wide gate to be 3-back on fence 4Ls down in 5th at 1200 M, 3Ls down off home turn, always held.
8 1 MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) K S Yu P 2-wide and 4Ls back in 6th at 1200 M and similarly placed taking home turn, very one-paced in the closing stages.
9 4 CHINSOLA (CD328) G Mosse B Led by a neck at the 1400 M, maintained a similar margin on fence from 1200 M to about 500 M out, headed at top of home straight and faded out.
10 10 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) M W Leung V/XB Held a nice position out 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1200 M, niggled along to maintain this proximity from 1000 M to home turn, very weak inside final 200 M.
