1 1 FLORAL JOY II (CJ030) K L Chui XB/TT Out in line, took a close up spot 2Ls behind leaders on outside rail, inconvenienced when improving at 300 M and again at 150 M, dashed sharply when clear to win with some authority.
2 4 CHEEKY LAD (CG198) O Doleuze V Little early pace, raced back with last few 4 to 5Ls back, suited by speed, began improving from 400 M, worked home nicely last 200 M charging late to snare 2nd.
3 9 LUCKY RED (CJ059) F Coetzee -- Showed speed to cross and share lead, ran freely keeping pace genuine, drifted about with inexperience, condition gave out last 100 M but still on held well for 3rd.
4 6 GLENEALY ELITE (CJ034) G Boss CP1/H1/TT1 Awkwardly away, difficult to settle early, raced towards outside of course 4Ls from leaders, had a fair run tracking pace, worked home stoutly last 300 M to be closest on line. (Steadied late.)
5 3 OWNERS LAD (CG273) C Soumillon B Out in line, took a trail 2Ls off leaders near to outside rail, followed pace to 400 M, a little one paced when placed under pressure, kept on just holding ground in run to line.
6 8 HAPPEE GIFT (CH313) B Prebble -- No pace from outset, raced at rear nearly 5Ls back, urged along at 400 M, picked up strongly at 200 M and closed nicely late to be nearest on line.
7 12 CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) H W Lai -- Away reasonably, raced 2 to 3Ls off pace in centre of course, improved approaching 400 M but lacked usual finishing burst.
8 11 NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) G Mosse B1 Out in line, had enough pace to race 1L back along outside rail, close enough at 400 M but pushed along, condition began to give out and steadied at 200 M but was weakening regardless.
9 10 MR WUNDERBAR (CJ068) Z Purton -- Showed pace to come across and share lead towards outside rail, kept pace genuine in middle stages, under pressure at 400 M, dropped out tamely in run to finish.
10 14 GENERAL KINGY (CB039) S K Sit -- No Comments on Running information for this horse.
11 13 MAGIC KING (CH182) C W Wong B/XB Awkwardly away and lost ground, raced solo along inside (poorest part of course) about 3Ls off pace by mid-point, lo more ground as race went on to be well beaten.
12 5 ALIVE AND KICKING (CJ071) D Beadman H1 Even getaway, raced 2 to 3Ls back behind midfield, had a decent run despite being towards centre of course, found little when asked and not knocked around when fading out.
13 2 BLUE SAINT (CJ080) P H Lo TT Standard jump, settled 4Ls back close to inside, always appeared to be struggling, dropped further behind last 400 M and was never a factor.
14 7 GLORIOUS FEELING (CJ129) E Saint-Martin -- Slow to begin, raced towards rear 4 or more lengths back, raced ungenerously, struggling from mid-point, no extra late. (Bled both nostrils.)
