1 10 BEST POWER (CG006) K C Leung TT Broke well, settled in forward of midfield, saved ground turning for home, straightened in 1L 4th, fought on determinedly to gain upper hand final strides.
2 3 PALAIS D'OR (CH185) J Lloyd TT Began from a wide draw, crossed to travel in 2L 4th, moved closer to 3rd approaching home bend, hit front under pressure over 200 M out only to be worn down close to home.
3 1 PRINCE KALAMOUN (CK178) J Winks CP1 Slightly slow out possibly by design due to a wide draw, soon taken across to rails at the back, trailed the field to straight, lacked room early on, ran on well between runners inside final 200 M to be nearest at finish.

6 7 LASKER (CJ340) D Whyte XB Began fairly, soon picked up to prominent one-back position on rails, shifted out to challenge turning in hitting front briefly early in straight, unable to sustain effort and headed 200 M out.
7 9 ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) M Du Plessis -- Settled on rails towards rear, saved ground rounding home bend, not much room behind runners early in straight, produced good late impression inside final 200 M.
8 4 UPSIDE OF ANGER (CH317) Z Purton XB Well there, settled in 4th about 2Ls off, became 5th rounding home bend, similar turning in, ran home one-paced under pressure.
9 11 TRIUMPHANT DIAMOND (CG227) Y T Cheng -- Began moderately, settled wide towards the rear, very wide when wider rounding home bend, made no recovery in the run home.
10 8 MAINLAND SHUTTLE (CG315) K L Chui TT Began well from middle draw, raced wide with leaders early, soon settled in midfield, lost position into straight, gave ground steadily under pressure.
11 5 SOLAR POWER (CE047) H W Lai TT Ridden for pace early, settled for wide run with cover in rear of midfield, 4 wide without cover around home bend, midfield into straight, gradually weakened. (Questioned for poor performance.)
12 12 GREAT SHOW (CK001) M W Leung B Began with others, soon took up running and led to 400 M, dropped out. (Blood in trachea.)
