1 12 GUAN DAO (CH211) M L Yeung CO Quickly into stride, led briefly down the back stretch then tracked leader one out one back, stayed on well to hit the front 100M from home and found enough to hold off the fast finishing 2nd in closing stages.
2 4 BRAVE HEART (CK277) D Whyte H1 Keen in early stages, travelled wide down the back straight then pulled his way forward to be 4th turning into straight, gradually got into the race and came with a late surge inside 200M to finish within a neck from the winner.
3 3 BLADE FORCE (CK330) M Chadwick B/TT Went forward from an outside barrier, crossed to the lead near 900M and set an even pace up front, continued on willingly inside 400M only to be headed in late stages.
4 7 MIGHTY WINNER (CJ303) K C Leung TT Tracked leaders along the fence and always within striking distance, driven hard inside 300M but couldn't close the gap on leaders.
5 2 HIGH RETURN (CK164) W M Lai B Even break, angled to a 2-wide position in midfield, raced keenly in middle stages, ran on inside 400M but couldn't find the extra to seriously challenge.
6 5 CHIEF SUCCESSOR (L055) B Prebble -- Slowly away, ended up in a rearward position 6-7Ls back and was difficult to settle making the home turn, taken wide to make his move inside 400M, stayed on without reaching the leaders.
7 6 KIMBER FORTUNE (CK162) J Winks -- Well enough away, settled in 5th ahead of midpack, lacked a finishing kick when required and offered no threat to the principals.
8 1 MANY GAINS (CJ051) T H So TT Awkwardly away, settled 2-wide in mid-division, 5Ls to make up passing 400M but not able to quicken in the drive home. (Mucus.)
9 9 SPICY SHRIMP (L067) O Doleuze -- Slow to begin, raced towards the rear and was difficult to settle at times, angled out for a run passing 400M but found very little in the finish.
10 8 SOLAR WONDER (L034) H W Lai H1 Never better than midfield, saved ground on the inside but couldn't pick up when asked passing 500M, eased when no chance final 150M.
11 11 SPEED RACER (CK207) C K Tong -- In mid-division but had to be niggled along to stay in touch, pushed 4-wide making home turn and never factored in the finish. Eased.
12 10 ALWAYS ON TOP (CK260) M W Leung B- No early speed, raced at the back over 8Ls away, fanned 4-wide into the straight and soon left behind. No impression.
