1 9 DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) W C Marwing TT Worse than midfield on rails down the back, 5Ls off turning in, held up briefly 300 M out, quickened well once clear to lead 70 M out, tidily.
2 4 HOT SUN (CJ005) K C Leung -- Soon led on fence, vied for the lead in places but 1L in front again entering homestretch, soon tackled for the lead before being headed 70 M, held 2nd okay.
3 3 REAL PLEASURE (CJ021) B Prebble B1 Box-seated on rails in 3rd about 2Ls from pace at 1000 M, 1L back in 2nd off final turn, upsides at 300 M, couldn't follow through to win, held a place.
4 10 MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) D Whyte B/SR Held up in 12th or so at least 6Ls from the speed before halfway, a little closer into straight, just over 1L back in 3rd at 200 M, run peaked.
5 6 MASTER MASTER (CH144) J Winks V Slowly away, 2-wide and 5Ls back in 8th at 1000 M and much the same spinning for home, never troubled the principals.
6 14 SO NICE (CG110) H W Lai XB Slowest out and 8Ls back in rear at the 1000 M, 6Ls back in 12th off last turn, ran on through beaten rivals to conclude.
7 7 MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) O Doleuze XB/TT Lost ground at start, rearward at least 7Ls from pace through first half, 4Ls back in midfield with place prospects at the 200 M, no extra.
8 12 SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) C W Wong CP Never travelling very well, 4-back on rails at first, midfield about 4Ls back off last bend, briefly loomed a place hope at the 200 M, tired late.
9 11 AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) M W Leung V-/B2 3-wide no cover when at least 7Ls from the pace for much of back straight, 6Ls adrift turning for home, never better than midfield. (Tactic questioned.)
10 8 OPTIC KING (CE139) P H Lo SR/CP/TT Went forward, nicely placed 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th at the 1000 M, pressured to retain this proximity off last turn, weakened steadily.
11 1 FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) T H So V Raced in 5th while 3-back on the fence at the 1000 M, 4Ls down and still 5th turning for home, no excuses for not finishing off better.
12 5 PALIO KING (CG073) G Mosse -- Tame performance, always rearward at least 7Ls from the leaders until home turn, kept chasing the majority of the field. (Injured.)
13 13 SUPER RED (CG230) M Chadwick CP/XB/TT Went forward but taken on in front and couldn't establish an outright lead, pressured to keep up before the home, dropped out, to trial. (Questioned for poor performance.)
14 2 OWNERS LAD (CG273) Z Purton B Checked at the 1000 M when close-up, 4Ls back in 6th at halfway and losing touch taking final bend, very one-paced, to trial.
