1 12 VAUGIRARD (CK347) W Pike B1 4-back the rails around 4Ls off the pace mid-race; going well cornering in; got the breaks and quickened up well to lead 50 M out; readily.
2 3 ELEGANT WIN (CG297) O Doleuze B2/TT 3-back the rails some 3Ls off pace at 800 M and off last bend; 1L down and vying for 3rd at 200 M; no chance winner but nicked 2nd on the line.
3 6 EASY (CG095) Y T Cheng -- Best away but happy to take box-seat on rails in 3rd until final bend when going well; led 250 M out but grabbed by winner 50 M out and lost 2nd on the line.
4 9 NATURAL FLAME (CK016) B Prebble B1/TT2 Switched inside from widest gate; rear or one from rear 5Ls or so from pace before last bend; made up some late ground to nick 4th on line.
5 4 SUPER PLUS (CJ090) D Whyte -- Soon led but couldn't cross to the fence until the 600 M; 1L clear turning for home; headed 250 M out; run of out the frame inside final 100 M.
6 10 FLORAL PICASSO (CJ225) K L Chui TT Better than midfield with cover within 2Ls of the pace before last turn; one-paced to conclude.

9 11 MALAYAN BRIGHT (CK158) K C Leung CP/TT Rearward about 5Ls or 6Ls from pace before final bend; very one-paced to wind up.
10 8 KINGIFLY (CG020) H W Lai TT Failed to muster much early pace; 4Ls back in 9th at the 800 M; never dangerous down the centre of the home straight. (Tactic questioned.) (Blood in trachea.)
