2 5 GOLD GEM (CG197) D Beadman H- Awkward break, worse than midfield 3-wide with cover about 7Ls off speed at halfway, edged closer about 4Ls into stretch and with every chance at 200 M, outpaced by winner and just held 2nd.
3 14 HAPPY ASH (CG106) M Nunes B/XB Keen early on, enjoyed the run of the race on fence 2Ls back in 3rd until home turn, upsides leaders at the 200 M, failed to sustain the bid and lost 2nd on the nod.
4 13 MASTER YING (CB249) W M Lai B Soon led on fence by 1L, still holding a margin turning for home, headed inside the 200 M and one-paced closing stages.
5 6 CENAMIRA (CD129) G Mosse B/TT Slow to start, 4Ls off pace 3-back on the fence in 5th at 1100 M, ridden along to maintain this position taking final turn, plugged on home at the one pace.
6 12 SPARKLE (CB406) H W Lai B/TT 4-back on rails 5Ls or 6Ls back in midfield at the 1000 M, 4Ls back about 8th swinging for home, never likely in the finish.

9 9 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) K L Chui B-/P2 Always worse than midfield and about 7Ls adrift through first half, with 5Ls to make up on straightening, posed no danger.
10 4 FIGS (CE141) K T Yeung B Messy start, a neck back in 2nd out 2-wide at 1200 M, still 2nd on straightening, yielded ground final 250 M.

13 1 BAUHINIA (CD118) O Doleuze B-/PC2 Never travelling well, ridden along when 5Ls behind in 6th at 1000 M, all out to get within 3Ls of the pace turning for home, beaten when checked at the 200 M.
