1 9 KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) B Prebble B Over-racing behind slow pace in 10th at the 1200 M, looped field from the 500 M to lead 250 M out, soon well clear, easily.
2 8 LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) J Victoire B Midfield with cover about 4Ls from slow speed until the 500 M, checked off home turn, no chance with winner but stayed on best of the rest for 2nd.
3 10 VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) W M Lai B/XB Pressed forward from wide gate to lead on fence by 2Ls at 1100 M, set sedate pace, headed by winner 250 M out, all out to hang onto a place.
4 4 SUPER IDEAL (CC223) T H So TT Slowest away, on fence 6Ls off pace on rails at halfway and similar spinning for home, recovered minor late ground, never nearer.
5 1 FORTUNE DRAGON (CH324) G Mosse B/TT Held 5th or so on the rails at 1000 M, same position and 4Ls down off last bend but held up until 150 M out, unlucky not to finish closer. (Tactic questioned.)
6 12 NATURAL ECHO (CB326) C W Wong B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
7 7 SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) Z Purton TT 8th or so and 2-wide about 4Ls or 5Ls back until turning for home, lacked a turn of foot and only held ground.
8 6 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) O Doleuze CP Went back from widest gate, in rear between 6Ls and 8Ls off the slow pace, no real impact in the finish.
9 2 ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) D Whyte B 4-back on the rails about 5Ls off slow pace at the 1000 M, tight for room turning for home, kept chasing the majority.
10 5 GRANDFIELD (CJ250) M L Yeung V-/B1 Mostly in the 'one-out-one-back' position within 2Ls of the slow pace until straightening for home, no excuse for not finishing better.
11 3 DECENT FELLOW (CH021) K L Chui B/H/TT Held up one from rear about 8Ls behind steady tempo, 7Ls last turning for home, race wasn't run to suit.
12 11 MAGIC PRACTITIONER (CK125) C K Tong B-/CP1/XB1 Disputed early pace, eased into 2nd behind steady pace before last turn, found zero off the bridle again, poor.
