1 10 SUPREME DRAGON (CH161) E Saint-Martin B 3-wide with cover in midfield about 4Ls from early pace, 3Ls off front spinning for home, briefly held up at 200 M, got up inside final strides.
2 14 MEGA BULLET (CH192) M Du Plessis B Restrained in 11th initially, headway on the circle to go 2Ls back in 3rd, led 200 M out, stayed on well but grabbed by winner inside final two bounds.
3 1 NASA PEARL (CC068) K C Leung -- One from rear 8Ls behind leader at 1000 M, steady improvement to be 4Ls back in mid-division at top of home straight, stayed on well to get 3rd on line.
4 7 KING OF SHAVER (CH041) B Prebble B 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at halfway, led about 500 M out but headed at the 200 M and missed out on a place in the final few metres.
5 3 EVER KING (CE147) D Beadman V/TT 5-back on the rails about 6Ls from the pace early on, further back in rear off last turn, made good late headway on outside and just missed a place. (Questioned.)
6 8 PERFECT MATCH (CJ072) D Whyte B1 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls from the speed at first, checked 500 M out, still with 4Ls to make up into straight, couldn't quite reach principals.
7 6 KA KA SMART (CG042) Z Purton B/H 3-wide without cover throughout, 2Ls back in 4th or 5th at halfway, 1L down in 2nd entering the straight, one-paced inside final 200 M.
8 13 LOHAN (CH279) C W Wong B A little better than midfield with cover about 3Ls or so from the pace until home straight, very one-paced to conclude.
9 4 HOLIGAN (CH003) W C Marwing B- 8Ls last at 1200 M, 6Ls down turning for home out wide, 3Ls back in mid-division at the furlong pole but couldn't draw any closer.
10 2 SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) O Doleuze B Slow to begin and 6Ls back in 12th at the 1200 M, hardly any closer entering home straight, made only very minor late ground.
11 5 WONG'S SUCCESS (CE107) H W Lai B 4-back along the fence down back straight in midfield about 5Ls from the speed, slipped back to last on straightening, remained behind.
12 12 KEEN SPIRIT (CJ022) K T Yeung B/TT 3-back on the fence when 4Ls off speed in midfield at 1000 M, similarly placed rounding home turn, didn't pick up and eased late when beaten.
13 11 BULB TREASURE (CH048) W M Lai -- 2Ls back in 3rd on fence at the 800 M when a bit keen, hampered before the home turn and soon struggling, eased some way from the line.
14 9 CITY SURFER (CG129) C K Tong B/H Crossed from widest gate to lead by 1L at 1400 M, headed 500 M out and beaten before the straight, later found with irregular heartbeat and distressed. (Lame next day.)
