1 9 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) J Lloyd B/TT Settled into 'one-out-one-back' position from the 1200 M, 3-wide and 2Ls back in 4th off last turn, all out to lead at the 50 M, kept on.
2 5 HAPPY MASTER (CE050) B Prebble SR Crowded at start, 4Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at 1200 M, still 2Ls adrift at the furlong pole, all out to nick 2nd on the line.
3 4 RELY ON ME (CE068) K C Leung B/TT Soon led by 1L on fence, joined then headed briefly 800 M out, 1L ahead again off last bend, headed about 50 M out and done for 2nd on the line.
4 10 WADADELIGHT (CC340) W M Lai B 2-wide and 5Ls back in 8th at halfway, niggled along but same margin back before final bend, made some fair late ground, never nearer.
5 2 SOHNA (CG183) M Chadwick B/TT 3-back the fence about 4Ls back in 6th at the 1200 M, steadied at the 600 M, moderate late headway in the straight.
6 8 IMPLIED VOLATILITY (CK046) Y T Cheng -- 4-wide no cover before briefly leading by a neck out 2-wide at 800 M, 1L back in 2nd off last bend and pressured, didn't drop out entirely to his credit.
7 11 LIVERBIRD (CE055) H W Lai B Had a soft trail on the leader's back in 3rd about 2Ls off speed, pressured despite the cushy trip turning for home, one-paced inside the final furlong.
8 6 GOLDEN BALL (CH128) E Saint-Martin -- Away well but opted to ease back to 9Ls last at the 1200 M, much the same spinning for home, recovered a little late ground but never a genuine threat. (Questioned.)
9 12 COVER BOY (CK021) M W Leung SR/TT Slowly away and switched inside from wide gate, 8Ls back and one from rear from 1000 M to straightening for home, kept chasing most of the field.
10 1 SUNSHINE BOY (CJ281) D Whyte H Checked at the start, 4-back on the rails 6Ls behind in 8th at the 1000 M, similarly placed 400 M out, very one-paced to conclude.
11 3 CHEEKY LAD (CG198) K L Chui V Torpid effort, slow to muster pace, 7Ls back out 2-wide in 9th at the 1000 M, similar turning for home, never on terms.
