1 10 DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) W C Marwing TT 7Ls back in 12th on rails at 1000 M, crept closer off the final bend and poked his head in front along the inside 100 M out, kept on well.
2 14 SUPER RED (CG230) M Chadwick CP/XB/TT Soon led and crossed to rail to lead by 1L at 1000 M, still 1L to the good at top of straight but headed 100 M out, all out to just cling on to 2nd.
3 4 SUPER BOBO (CJ116) C K Tong B2/TT Crowded at start, 4-back on inside 5Ls off pace in 9th at 1000 M, midfield turning in, stayed on well inside final furlong and just missed 2nd.
4 3 SIMPLY JOY (CH052) C Soumillon B 3-back the rails 3Ls off pace in 6th down back straight, 2Ls off pace in 4th taking last corner, had his chance to place but lacked the turn of foot.
5 7 OPTIC KING (CE139) P H Lo SR/CP/TT Disputed early pace, box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls back on fence at 1000 M, every chance when a neck 2nd at 300 M, couldn't follow through.
6 13 SO NICE (CG110) M W Leung CP-/H- Raced much too keenly while rearward and at least 5Ls off pace, held up 300 M out, not beaten so far considering how he fought his rider.
7 12 ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) D Whyte -- Went back from wide gate, one from rear 8Ls off pace early on, 5-wide (widest) turning for home, never threatened to improve better than midfield.
8 11 ELEPHANT STAR (CH323) W M Lai B 2-wide disputing early pace, 1L back in 2nd at the 800 M but pressured to retain this proximity at top of home straight, petered out steadily.
9 2 NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) B Prebble XB/TT Took a nice position in 4th out 2-wide down back straight, 1L down in 4th and dangerous at top of home straight, couldn't sustain the run.
10 8 TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) J Winks B/TT Held up in last about 8Ls off speed at the 1000 M, 6Ls adrift turning for home, only ran on past a few beaten rivals.
11 9 CELESTIAL WONDER (CG046) J Victoire CP/TT Unbalanced at start, 3Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at the 1000 M, midfield and hard pressed to make an impact from 400 M to 200 M, faded out.
12 5 MONTY (CH164) Z Purton -- Performance deemed unacceptable for last start winner, 10th about 6Ls or 7Ls from pace out 3-wide down the back straight, 4Ls down turning in, weakened.
13 1 MAGI JOY (CH056) O Doleuze B Mostly wide without cover, 4Ls back in midfield out wide at 1000 M, closer but 4-wide turning for home, quickly retreated after the tough trip.
14 6 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) C W Wong -- 5Ls off pace in 8th out 2-wide at the 1000 M, bumped at the 800 M, dropped out sharply in the straight, performance deemed unacceptable.
