1 3 FORTUNE DRAGON (CH324) B Prebble B/TT In touch, settled 2-wide in the group chasing leaders, responded well and swept to the front near 300M, drew well clear from the rest and won with tremendous amount of ease.
2 11 FEEL THE FUN (CJ205) H W Lai -- Settled in 5th in front of midfield and had an uneventful trip, took time to get going in straight, no chance with the runaway winner but ran on ok to reel in the 3rd inside 100M.
3 8 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) B Doyle B Broke well, restrained to midfield 4-5Ls off the pace, stayed on from 300M without threatening the runaway winner, lost 2nd 75M from home.
4 14 NOBLE TWINS (CH257) W M Lai B In chasing group just off leaders, always in touch, was produced with every chance in straight, couldn't find the pace to challenge and looked very laboured towards the line.
5 6 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) O Doleuze -- Travelled 2-wide behind mid-division, angled out for a clear run near 400M, stayed on but was never threatening.
6 2 SUPREME COMMANDER (CJ112) D Whyte B Patiently ridden behind midfield, switched out for a run inside 450M, ran on only fairly and found no extra in late stages.
7 4 LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) C W Wong -- Pressed the lead 2-wide down the back straight, plodded on to 200M then weakened towards the finish.
8 13 LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) Z Purton B Held up towards the rear and waited with till 450M, kept on same pace only, never a factor.
9 7 GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) M Chadwick B Assumed a midfield position along the rails, 4Ls off the lead turning for home, made no impression when asked for an effort and weakened badly in late stages.
10 12 MY SMARTIE (CJ139) K L Chui -- Never better than midfield and not picking up when asked on straightening. (Retired after race.)
11 10 FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) A Suborics B Went forward as expected and led steadily on fence, headed inside 300M and weakened rapidly final 150M. (Retired after race.)
12 5 LITTLE BIG BOY (CJ012) J Lloyd CP/TT Taken across behind runners from draw 13 and over 10Ls back in last, driven but no progress inside 450M, eased.
13 9 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) K W Leung CP Towards the rear and had a ground saving trip throughout but struggled to go with them passing 500M, finished tailed out.
