1 9 WIN MORE (CH243) Z Purton B-/H-/PC2/TT Always prominent, 2Ls back in 2nd at 1200 M, less than 1L back turning for home, led inside the 200 M and stayed on well.
2 14 BEST NOODLE (CJ278) M Chadwick TT 3-wide but with cover about 4Ls back in midfield at halfway, a little worse off turning for home, stayed on okay to nick 2nd on the line.
3 7 JOLLY WONGCHOY (CH076) K T Yeung B-/TT Pressed on from widest gate to lead by 1L at 1200 M, clear by 2Ls at one point but overhauled inside the 200 M and lost 2nd on the line.
4 5 BULB TREASURE (CH048) W M Lai -- Held the 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th or so about 3Ls off pace until final turn, had his chance to place.
5 3 TRIUMPHANT DIAMOND (CG227) W Pike -- Mostly wide without cover, towards rear at least 6Ls from early pace, recovered minor late ground in homestretch but no real threat posed.
6 13 LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) W C Marwing -- Close to the pace but 3-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls back in 3rd or so down back straight, tiring before home turn, one-paced.
7 2 GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) C K Tong B Slowest out, rearward on rails through first half, 6Ls down turning in when held up slightly, kept on fairly, never nearer.
8 11 FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) J Lloyd SR-/XB2/TT Never any better than midfield, at least 6Ls off pace down back straight.
9 10 WONG'S SUCCESS (CE107) M Du Plessis B 2-wide and about 7Ls back in 12th at 1200 M, no closer on straightening, never really in the hunt.
10 12 OCTAGONAL CANYON (CJ055) C W Wong -- Positioned handily on pace but always niggled along, 2Ls back at halfway but 3Ls behind off last bend, very one-paced.
11 1 NASA PEARL (CC068) K C Leung P2 No early speed, 8Ls last at halfway and soon came under pressure, always chasing the majority of the field.
12 8 MY SMARTIE (CJ139) Y T Cheng B Slowly away but recovered to hold a position in midfield on the inside, 5Ls back off last turn, offered little response.
13 6 I KNOW I CAN (CJ287) B Doyle -- Around midfield with cover 5Ls back at the 1000 M, steadily ceded ground, performance deemed unacceptable.
PU 4 OLYMPICSHIP (CJ283) J Winks B2 Never travelling, pressured in rear soon after the jump, struggling long before the final bend and soon eased out of race, finished "distressed".
