1 12 TOP SPEED (CH019) H W Lai B Standard jump, settled behind midfield 4 to 5Ls behind leader, taken wide coming into straight, picked up strongly inside 400 M and had the race won near 100 M.
2 5 PALIO KING (CG073) O Doleuze -- Broke well from the inside barrier, drifted back to settle in a position behind midfield, travelled well enough to bend, had a dream run against the rail, kept on strongly but had no chance with the winner.
3 9 ALIVE AND KICKING (CJ071) W C Marwing SR-/H-/B1/TT- Away with them, assumed a spot on the fence in mid-division 3Ls back, made steady progress from 400 M but showed tendancy to hang in under pressure.
4 3 OPTIC KING (CE139) P H Lo SR/CP/TT2 Quickly into stride, travelled close to the pace but unable to obtain cover, picked up well on straightening, briefly hit front inside 200 M but found no extra over the concluding stages.
5 10 PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) K T Yeung TT- Standard break, driven to the front and led field at a steady tempo, hung out under pressure on straightening, kept on until weakening inside 100 M.
6 14 SUPER RED (CG230) M Chadwick XB/CP1/TT Well enough away, taken forward to sit behind the front runner who led at a steady tempo, tracked well on turning, held every chance but couldn't find the extra gear when asked.
7 4 SILVER WRAITH (CE178) Y T Cheng B Began in line, gradually crept up to take closer order behind leaders, peeled out to challenge inside 400 M, ran on steadily without seriously threatening.
8 1 FASTER FASTER (CG010) E Saint-Martin -- Slowly away, ended up racing in the rear 6Ls back, remained there to turn, switched out on straightening, responded only fairly and was one-paced in the finish.
9 13 MAINLAND MASTER (CG044) J Victoire -- Broke well, drifted back to midfield 3Ls off the pace, raced a touch keen in early parts, into clear 400 M, made limited progress before weakened inside 100 M.
10 11 ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) M L Yeung -- Slowly away and failed to muster early speed, travelled in a rearward position trailing 6Ls to leader, came very wide on turning, unable to pick up and passed tired runners only.
11 6 LIMONCELLO (CH178) M W Leung B/XB1 Awkwardly away and took time to muster, settled behind midfield 4 to 5Ls off the pace, showed little dash and hung out under pressure. Never likely.
12 2 MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) B Doyle B Swiftly away, quickly taken to the rail and travelled better than midfield not far off the pace, failed to quicken when asked, checked near 200 M and never recovered from that point.
13 8 MOUNT SURPLUS (CH122) Z Purton -- Taken back on jumping, unable to settle in the early parts and used energy, had 6Ls to make up turning home, found nothing under pressure and simply plugged away to line.
14 7 MASTER OF SHAVERS (CJ026) M Du Plessis XB Even break, settled in a position behind midfield 4 to 5Ls back, came very wide rounding the home turn, struggled early in straight and could make no impression.
