1 1 FAT CHOY ICHIBAN (CJ063) G Mosse -- Settled 6Ls back in 10th at the 1000 M and edged closer turning in, quickened up well to lead 200 M out and always doing enough to win. (Questioned for improved performance.)
2 2 AMAZING JOURNEY (CH281) D Whyte B/TT 4-back the rails 5Ls off pace in mid-division at halfway, smooth headway on inner to vie for lead 250 M out, always just held by the winner.
3 7 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) J Winks V 9Ls last at the 1000 M, 12th and 5Ls off taking last turn, stayed on well for a place without quite reaching quinella pair.
4 10 GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) B Prebble B Towards rear on the rails about 7Ls behind initial pace, crept closer turning for home, finished off pretty well but still unable to place.
5 4 SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) M L Yeung -- Disputed early pace before settling into 4th out 2-wide and 2Ls back at halfway, every chance when 3rd at 200 M, weakened without excuses.
6 3 MAMMA MIA (CK053) E Saint-Martin -- 3-back on fence 4Ls back in 6th or so down the back, peeled out 2-wide turning for home, still with place prospects at furlong pole but run soon peaked.
7 14 FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) M W Leung B On fence 2Ls back around 4th at 1000 M, same margin behind but swamped at the furlong pole and tired late. (Tactic questioned.)
8 13 HARRY HARRY (CD019) K L Chui XB Caught 3-wide no cover at halfway when 5Ls back in 8th or so, continued wide on the circle and rather one-paced in the homestretch.
9 9 FEEL THE FUN (CJ205) Z Purton -- 3Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at the 1000 M and still close up on straightening for home, very weak inside the final furlong.
10 12 CHAMPION PIONEER (CG305) H W Lai B-/BO2 One from rear about 8Ls off pace at the 1000 M, only marginally closer turning in, never loomed a threat.
11 8 ALMIGHTY (CK006) W C Marwing P-/CP1 Disputing early tempo out 4-wide no cover, a neck down in 2nd out 2-wide from halfway to home straight, began to wilt before the 200 M, well beaten.
12 11 DIAMOND PRINCE (CJ172) Y T Cheng SR Disputed early pace on the rails, a neck to the good from halfway to home straight, weakened well before the final furlong.
13 6 BLINK AGAIN (CK011) O Doleuze V/XB1/TT Midfield with cover about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, very one-paced in the home straight, diagnosed a 'roarer'.
14 5 VERY FIT (CE071) F Coetzee XB/TT Always rearward and relegated to 10Ls last at the 600 M, struggling before the home turn, unacceptable performance. (Lame next day.)
