1 3 CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) W M Lai BO Held up 3 and 4-back along the fence about 4Ls from speed before final bend, quickened through a gap 150 M out, soon led and held on.
2 11 WINNER SMART (CK029) M W Leung -- Tracked pacesetter in 2nd out 2-wide from 800 M to final bend, a neck back in 2nd at the 200 M, didn't shirk the task but always just held.
3 8 JOLLY GOOD FORTUNE (CD274) C K Tong B/TT Soon led on fence by 1L and held a similar break through to the home straight, headed over 100 M out but easily hung on for a place.
4 2 MACHO EXPRESSO (CH261) D Whyte B Box-seated on fence 2Ls back in 3rd until straightening for home, given every chance but was too one-paced to conclude.
5 9 EXPLODING (CH046) M L Yeung XB/H 4th on the inner within 3Ls of the pace before spinning into home straight, 1L down and with place hopes at 200 M, did not follow through.
5 12 WISE LOVER (CE095) Y T Cheng B-/P1 Slowest out and 6Ls last down the back, still well adrift turning for home but recovered good late ground, never nearer.
7 6 KING OF HEARTS (CK214) D Beadman XB/H Always slightly worse than midfield, about 5Ls back at halfway, retrieved minor late ground in the straight no real threat overall.
8 1 OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) Z Purton PC Away well, eased back to midfield 4Ls off speed at 800 M, closer on straightening, had his chance and lacked a turn of foot.
9 4 TRUE INTELLIGENCE (CK060) G Cheyne -- Unbalanced at the start, 3-wide sometimes without cover in midfield until home turn when 4Ls down, soon struggling, disappointing effort.
10 10 SOLDIER (CK346) C W Wong -- Caught very wide without cover throughout, midfield initially but retreating when 6Ls off turning for home, no danger.
11 7 ENGINEERING WONDER (CB300) H W Lai XB No Comments on Running information for this horse.
12 5 ENERGIZED (CK135) S K Sit SR-/H1/XB2 Yet another poor run, always rearward at least 5Ls from the pace, offered little or nothing.
