1 9 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) H W Lai CP Began nicely, slotted into prime position 1 out 1 back, had no excuses to bend, in behind horses without clear running to 300 M, dashed well when clear to take lead late and score a narrow victory.
2 1 SUNNY KING (CH105) Z Purton XB/H/TT Taken back from a wide alley, positioned behind midfield 5Ls off speed on rails, used little to bend, held up and checked badly at 300 M, clear last 150 M and then flew late to just miss. Unlucky.
3 8 MASTER POWER (CG318) D Beadman CP-/B2 Jumped away fairly, ended up in midfield 4Ls or so away from lead, travelled comfortably throughout, still in traffic turning and didn't see daylight until 200 M, charged late for an unlucky 3rd.
4 13 IMPERIAL APPLAUSE (CG209) M Du Plessis B Allowed to drift back from an outside gate, ended up 6Ls away in 2-wide line, improved 3-wide on circle, came widest in straight and made solid progress to make frame.
5 10 MY CHOICE (CC283) Y T Cheng B Out with line, took a spot behind speed 2Ls back 3-wide with cover, travelled well in run, close enough turning and made impression to be in mix at 200 M, peaked on run inside final 100 M.
6 4 GALLANT LION (CG243) G Mosse H No early pace and ended up in rearward division as usual, raced 2-wide 5Ls back, still set a task on turning, held up inside horses to 250 M, closed off nicely final furlong once clear.
7 5 KING ENCOSTA (CG247) E Saint-Martin TT Began with rest, took a close position from inside alley, had soft run throughout, saved ground turning, no clear running until 200 M, closed evenly once clear holding ground in run to line.
8 2 GOLD STRIKER (CD365) K L Chui -- Fast into stride, took up running, shaded throughout by outside horse, still held inside 1/2L down on bend, kicked through on turning, in mix to 200 M but lacked a response thereafter.
9 3 REGENCY DRAGON (CH001) F Coetzee B/TT Jumped well, pressed on in search of lead, lead them but couldn't cross to lead, kept pressure on throughout, still held narrow lead turning, run ended at 200 M.
10 7 AGILITY (CC361) B Doyle XB Ordinary getaway, ended up in rearward division 6Ls back on fence, not asked in mid-section, still well back in traffic turning, held up until after 200 M, not fully tested thereafter.
11 14 HOLI RAVIOLI (CG201) D Whyte -- Away sharply, went forward but unable to slot in, faced breeze 3-wide without cover outside leaders, did too much work to bend, emptied 300 M and gradually faded.
12 12 SILVER SUN (CE126) K C Leung -- Out with rest, went forward but posted 3 and 4-wide without cover, used too much in run, still 3Ls down but under pressure on turning dropped out quickly.
13 6 ROYAL PRIDE (CJ119) C K Tong -- Poorly away, shared rear 7-8Ls back on rails, had an easy time in mid-section, still had field to beat on turning, didn't make any impression in straight.
14 11 PRIME SCORE (CG280) B Prebble B Began with rest, pressed forward but lost action approaching first bend, dropped back to be 4-5Ls away racing 3-wide, had cover to turn, lost action again at 200 M and eased down late. (See Racing Incidents.)
