1 9 AMAZING JOURNEY (CH281) M L Yeung B/TT Soon rolled into a prominent spot and held the same position into final stretch. Rallied along the fence and hit front 150M. Took charge closing stages.
2 11 ISTIDE (CJ089) W M Lai TT Good jump. Disputed lead on fence passing 1400M. Clear by 1L home turn. Headed 150M but hung on gamely to figure in quinella.
3 2 GREAT GUY (CH112) C Soumillon TT Travelled nicely ahead of midfield on fence through to the home turn. Left the rail to make his run on straightening. Finished off well but the front pair had enough to hold on.
4 6 LOCAL POWER (CH296) C W Wong -- Pressed early but could only stay 3-wide towards rear. Came widest and was 6Ls down making home turn. Covered good ground thereafter.
5 5 GLORY OF INDIA (CK130) D Whyte TT Began nicely but trapped wide at midfield. Eased to rear in a 3-wide position passing 1300M. Swung wide and was 7Ls off turning in. Found traffic in the straight and had to go through gaps 200M out. Found the line well once into clear.
6 8 HAPPY MASTER (CE050) G Mosse CP Broke well from high draw. Elected to sit 3-wide behind midfield passing 1400M. 5Ls behind the speed turning into home. Closed off fairly well but no threat to the principals.
7 3 MING HOI TREASURE (CK145) D Beadman CP-/B2/TT Sat within 5Ls of the pace on fence through to the home straight. Barely saw daylight until 100M and ran on steadily thereafter.

9 13 NORDIC STAR (CH302) H W Lai TT Away in line but soon dropped towards rear in a 3-wide position. Shifted 2-wide passing 1200M and was 6Ls away at bend. Held up most of the home straight and was not fully tested.

11 12 MASCOT FORTUNE (CH221) M W Leung -- Disputed lead early. Sat 2-wide behind the leader rounding the turn. Failed to turn up a notch passing 400M. Faded final 100 M.
