1 1 HELENE ELITE (CJ093) M Chadwick B/XB/TT Travelled well in 2nd about 2Ls behind leader down back straight, quickened up off final bend to lead 250 M out, pulled clear, easily.
2 6 HOT SUN (CJ005) K C Leung -- Best away from widest gate and didn't take long to lead by 2Ls on fence, headed by the winner 250 M out but was still able to hold down 2nd.
3 12 ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) O Doleuze B 3-back on rails in 4th about 4Ls from pace at 1000 M, 2Ls back in 3rd at furlong pole, no chance with winner, couldn't overhaul HOT SUN for 2nd.
4 13 TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) J Lloyd B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
5 14 AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) H W Lai B Slowly away, rearward about 9Ls from the pace at 1000 M, edged a little closer into home straight, kept on past a few spent rivals to wrap up.
6 7 NATURAL FATCHOY (CG282) G Mosse BO1/TT 3Ls back in 3rd initially and even closer in 3rd entering the home straight, still on terms 200 M out but inexplicably weak thereafter.
7 8 BRAVO HORSE (CH312) T H So B/SR 4-back on the rails in 6th about 6Ls off speed in middle stages, pressured to lie up taking final turn when a little closer, one-paced to conclude.
8 5 SIMPLY JOY (CH052) D Whyte B/H2 Raced in 5th between 4Ls and 5Ls from the speed through to the final bend, sorely lacking in a turn of foot.
9 11 DRAGON BOY (CJ204) E Saint-Martin -- Bumped at the start, in 10th about 8Ls off pace at halfway, no closer taking last turn, always well held from then on.
10 10 WINNING AHEAD (CJ018) B Doyle TT One from rear about at least 9Ls from the pace through to final bend, held up down the centre at the 300 M, well held thereafter.
11 3 VICTORY MASCOT (CJ243) S Dye TT Worse than midfield about 8Ls from the pace at halfway, struggling before the final bend, later found with displacement of soft palate.
12 4 DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) W C Marwing TT Rearward but 3-wide with cover at least 9Ls behind the steady pace, offered very little in the homestretch. (Questioned for poor performance.)
13 9 ACCELERATOR (CG179) J Winks V/XB/TT Keen early on at least 10Ls last, not suited by the slow tempo and of little consequence in the straight.
14 2 TOUCH MORE (CJ180) Y T Cheng TT Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout at least 7Ls or 8Ls from the speed, no danger.
