1 7 SUPER (CD036) D Whyte SR/XB 3Ls back out 2-wide in 4th at 1000 M, same margin behind turning for home and edged towards stands' rail, ran on well to lead final strides.
2 5 BARRACUDA (CB320) M Du Plessis -- No Comments on Running information for this horse.
3 3 SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) C W Wong -- 6Ls back in midfield on the rails at halfway, ran on okay in the straight for a place without testing the quinella pair.
4 6 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) G Mosse CP/XB/TT 6th with cover about 4Ls or 5Ls from the front until home straight, had his chance to place but lacked the acceleration.
5 4 NOBLE TWINS (CH257) Z Purton B Towards rear about 9Ls behind speed at halfway and a little closer turning for home, stayed on pretty well in the finish, may need more ground.
6 10 NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) K L Chui V Box-seated 2Ls back in 3rd at 1000 M and much the same turning for home, still 3rd at the 200 M but weak and run out of the money thereafter.
7 8 HURRICANE WAY (CH039) G Boss B/TT Squeezed out on jumping, midfield about 6Ls back early, keen at halfway, posed little danger in the stretch.
8 14 CENAMIRA (CD129) S K Sit -- 3-back on fence about 5Ls behind the speed early on and same position turning for home, failed to quicken up.
9 12 TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) P H Lo B/TT Slowly away and hampered early on, one from rear from 1200 M to home straight when 7Ls behind, no impression.
10 9 FILEBO (CE214) H W Lai H Slowly away, checked at 1300 M and about 7Ls back in 9th at 1000 M, 4-wide (widest of all) when 5Ls behind turning for home, tame finish.
11 13 FAST WINNER (CG140) F Coetzee -- Always towards rear, 8Ls behind in 10th early, hard pressed to take closer order swinging for home, did not succeed.
12 11 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) K T Yeung B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
13 1 CHINESE BOY BOY (CH157) Y T Cheng V Pressed on out 4-wide no cover to track leader out 2-wide at the 900 M, 2Ls back in 2nd and struggling turning for home, weakened rapidly. (Tactic questioned.)
