1 7 THE REAL MCCOY (CK168) C W Wong -- Led easily 2Ls in front at 900 M. Held a 1L advantage making home turn. Pulled clear in the straight for a convincing win.
2 2 MIGHTY SUN (CK058) H W Lai B1 Amongst first to begin. Pushed early and obtained a forward spot outside the lead rounding the turn. Always held 2nd in the straight. Never posed serious threat to winner.
3 6 SPEED FIGHTER (CD355) J Winks B Quickly into stride. Settled 2 to 3Ls back on rails. Pressed hard 500 M out. Never looked likely to catch the quinella pair but ran on for a minor placing with some comfort.
4 11 TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) B Doyle B Bumped at start. Took a spot worse than midfield 3-wide without cover. Improved on turn wide but couldn't follow through. Just held on for 4th by a narrow margin.
5 8 FULL BLESSINGS (CH238) K L Chui TT Well enough away. Ridden to stay midfield on rails. Remained in similar position turning in. Made steady progress in the straight. Just missed out on 4th.
6 10 JADE DANCER (CE170) M L Yeung -- Began nicely. Sat 2-wide 2Ls behind the speed at 600 M. Kept one-paced in the straight and weakened final stages.
7 1 GOLDEN BALL (CH128) Z Purton -- Good jump. Moved to rails and urged to maintain a position worse than midfield at 800 M. Swung 4-wide turning for home. Made up some minor ground late.
8 4 TREASURABLE (CH017) K C Leung B2 Bounced upon jumping and lost ground. Raced 2-wide 7 to 8Ls off the pace at 800 M. Just held ground in the straight.
9 3 MASTER GREEN (CJ104) P H Lo V Began in line. Niggled along but failed to muster in the early stages. Settled 3-wide 7Ls back at 800 M. Shifted wider turning for home but failed to quicken in the straight.
10 12 KIMBERLEY (CJ295) D Whyte XB Moderate jump and soon trailed field. Ran past a few beaten runners.
11 5 SHAXI BABY (CJ122) M Nunes -- Jumped fairly. Driven to a midfield spot 2-wide at 800 M. Pressured 600 M out but soon faded in the straight.
12 9 ANIMATION (CJ035) Y T Cheng B Always at rear. Struggled to keep up and made no impression in the straight. Never a factor.
