1 11 LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) C W Wong CP-/TT- 1L back in 2nd out 2-wide at 1200 M and same turning in under pressure, led narrowly 200 M out, kept on very gamely to just scrape in. (Questioned for improved performance.)
2 7 NASA PEARL (CC068) Z Purton P2 One from rear about 9Ls down at 1000 M, 6Ls back into straight, finished very strongly out wide, reached the line about two strides too soon for the win.
3 3 THREE CLUBS (CG149) D Beadman -- 7Ls back in 10th at 1200 M, 5Ls back in mid-division off last turn, loomed upsides leaders seeming the winner at 200 M, couldn't go on with it and just held.
4 2 WADADELIGHT (CC340) F Coetzee B 3Ls off pace on fence in 5th at 1200 M, 2Ls down in 4th entering home straight, had a chance to place but always marginally held from the frame.
5 12 ALICE TOO (CG309) M Nunes B/XB/TT Led on fence by 1L at 1200 M, same margin clear off the last bend, headed just inside the final 200 M and run out of the money final 100 M.
6 8 SWEET BABY (CG294) M Du Plessis B-/P1 2Ls behind leader in 3rd on fence until the home straight, checked when without room on the inner 100 M out, failed to recover.
7 4 WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) Y T Cheng B/TT 5Ls back in 6th on the rails at 1000 M, 4Ls down in 5th off last bend, one-paced thereafter.
8 5 GOLDEN BALL (CH128) K T Yeung B-/PC2 3-wide no cover throughout, pressed on from rearward position to be 3Ls back in midfield at 800 M, under pressure turning in, faded steadily. (Tactic questioned.)
9 10 JOY TRUMPS (CD242) W M Lai B/TT 10Ls last at 1000 M, one from rear about 8Ls down making last bend, made no impact.
10 14 PURE ALPHA (CH008) M W Leung CP/XB Clearly slowest away, 6Ls back on the rails in 8th at 1000 M and same into the stretch, stride soon shortened.
11 9 CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) G Mosse B 3-wide with cover when 6Ls off pace around midfield until home straight, found nothing off the bit and beaten 300 M out.
12 1 MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) H W Lai P No Comments on Running information for this horse.
13 13 HAPPY ENERGY (CH033) K L Chui B 3Ls back in 5th at 1200 M when 3-wide no cover despite exiting gate 5, back-pedalling before the home straight, unacceptable performance.
14 6 KING HESPERUS (CE151) G Boss B/TT Never travelling well, 9Ls back in 12th at 1000 M, hard ridden from halfway and dropped back to last off final bend, eased down, to trial. (Questioned for poor performance.)
