1 2 SAVUTE (CE326) H W Lai B-/V1 Led early on fence by 1L, headed at 1000 M and raced 1L back in 2nd until home turn, back on terms but headed again inside 200 M, rallied gamely final 50 M to lead close home.
2 11 MOSHI MOSHI (CG255) D Beadman TT Close up in 4th on fence early, 2Ls down in 3rd on straightening, looked the winner when easing to the front at 300 M, didn't find much off the bridle and outfought final 50 M.
3 12 MONTY (CH164) O Doleuze B Midfield on fence about 4Ls off speed down backstretch, tight for room at top of home straight, 1L down in 4th at 200 M, stayed on well for pressure but couldn't quite reach quinella pair.
4 6 PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) M W Leung B 3-wide no cover before crossing to lead by 1L on fence at 900 M, clear until home turn but one-paced when headed about 300 M out.
5 3 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) G Mosse PC-/B2 Towards rear about 7Ls off pace and 5-back on fence at 1000 M, only marginally closer turning for home, made some minor late ground.
6 10 JOYFUL WORLD (CC200) Y T Cheng TT Disputed early tempo out 2-wide but soon settled back to 3rd about 2Ls off pace, same margin back in 4th at top of home straight, had his chance to at least place, no dash.
7 5 MEDALLION (CG322) Z Purton TT Worse than midfield with cover about 6Ls off pace at 1000 M, hung out on the circle and with plenty to do on straightening, no impression.
8 7 REAL SPECIAL (CH320) F Coetzee B1/XB1 Prominent position in 5th through early stages but left 3-wide no cover from the 900 M, struggling in midfield off home turn, one-paced.
9 13 CASH MONEY (CH030) C W Wong TT1 2-wide and 3Ls down in 6th at the 1000 M, steadily lost this position and under pressure swinging for home, dropped out further.
10 1 EXPEDITIOUS (CE136) K T Yeung -- About 5Ls off pace in 10th or so and 3-wide with cover down the back straight, never better than midfield.
11 8 SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) E Saint-Martin -- Always in the rear bunch and never any closer than 7Ls from the leaders after the 1200 M.
12 4 HAPPY HEROES (CD261) A Delpech PC- Poor effort, failed to muster any early dash and always well back at least 8Ls from the front.
13 14 MULLAAD (CG259) S K Sit B1/TT Totally blew the start losing at least 10Ls on the main bunch, fighting a losing battle thereafter.
14 9 TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) C K Tong -- Missed the start and never on terms, finished tailed off.
