1 2 WILD ACE (CH009) W C Marwing CP1/TT Had the box-seat position on fence between 1L and 2Ls from the speed before taking up the lead 300 M out, kicked clear, easily.
2 3 ACCELERATOR (CG179) B Prebble -- 3-back the rails in midfield about 4Ls off leader at halfway, closer turning for home, no chance with winner but stayed on well to nick 2nd inside final 50 M.
3 4 HOT SUN (CJ005) M L Yeung -- Soon led by 1L but over-raced a little early on, 2Ls clear at the 800 M, headed by the winner 300 M out, headed for 2nd inside final 50 M, just hung onto 3rd.
4 11 MONTY (CH164) K C Leung -- Midfield and 2-wide over 4Ls off the early tempo, 3Ls back in 6th turning for home, one-paced to wrap up.
5 13 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) B Doyle V/XB Soon one from rear about 7Ls off the pace, not suited by the on-pace race but still finished off strongly for 5th, possibly better at 1600 M.
6 7 OWNERS LAD (CG273) J Winks B Half back in 2nd outside leader early on, still as close-up turning for home, couldn't find and extra gear when the tempo quickened late on.
7 14 AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) H W Lai B Slowest away losing 3Ls immediately, 8Ls last at halfway, made some minor late ground down the centre of the track but never at all dangerous.
8 6 OSCAR PRINCE (CJ052) W M Lai -- Settled in 11th at the 1000 M, closer about 4Ls back in midfield off last turn, one-paced to wind up.
9 12 ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) O Doleuze B Never any better than midfield and always at least 5Ls from the speed, posed little trouble in the straight.
10 1 GENERAL POWER (CJ256) M Chadwick B/TT 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, 3rd at the 1000 M when 2Ls back, a little further back turning for home, one-paced.
11 8 NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) Z Purton XB/TT 3Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at the 1000 M and closer in 4th into the last 400 M, failed to capitalize on the cheap run, poor finish.
12 5 EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) K L Chui B/TT Always towards the rear at least 6Ls from the pace, still very few signs of ability.
13 9 NATURAL FATCHOY (CG282) C K Tong BO/TT Always worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the pace, struggling well before the home turn, poor.
14 10 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) C W Wong -- Around midfield and within striking range through to the final bend, dropped out meekly thereafter.
