1 9 FLORAL PICASSO (CJ225) M Chadwick TT Settled 3-back the rails about 4Ls off pace through first half, peeled out at top of straight and led inside the 100 M, kept on well.
2 2 LEGEND (CK042) B Prebble -- 8Ls back in 9th or 10th initially, still well back turning in, no chance with winner but stayed on strongly to nick 2nd on the line.
3 5 MIGHTY SUN (CK058) M L Yeung B Crossed to lead on fence at the 1300 M, led or disputed lead setting a brisk pace until the home straight, still 1L ahead at 200 M, lost 2nd final strides.
4 10 WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) Y T Cheng B Keen around midfield early on, pressed on to dispute lead at the 600 M, 1L down in 2nd at the 200 M, did just enough to hold 4th.
5 6 SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) K T Yeung CP 4-back the rails in 7th about 4Ls off pace at halfway, 5Ls back in 5th turning in, kept on okay but no threat to principals.
6 7 SOARING RIVER (CK137) B Doyle SR Close-up at first, 2Ls back in 2nd at the 800 M and 3Ls back in 3rd turning for home, one-paced to conclude.
7 3 DASHING THUNDER (CD080) W C Marwing CP- Never any better than midfield, 5Ls back at halfway and worse taking the last turn, never likely.
8 12 BOBO WIN (CC238) C W Wong H1/TT Very slow break, 9th on rails and 5Ls back in middle stages and no better off on straightening, always chasing and no danger.
9 8 KING OF HEARTS (CK214) J Winks XB/H1 Taken back from wide gate, in rear between 7Ls and 9Ls off speed through to final turn, never really got involved.
10 11 AMITYSHIP (CK023) K C Leung B/TT Checked at the 1300 M when 3rd or so, 3Ls back in 6th at halfway, further back turning for home, very one-paced.
11 1 ADD THE FUN (CD308) H W Lai B 9Ls back in last at the 1000 M, didn't get much closer.
12 4 HUSSLER (CJ323) D Whyte B Worked hard out wide no cover on first bend, got in 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd at the 800 M, struggling on the circle and unbalanced, weakened right out.
