1 5 AASHIQ (CK175) J Lloyd -- Usual speed, pressed forward but took a trail on speed pair, relaxed on strong pace, came off heels turning, ran away final 300 M to score well.
2 12 EXCEPTIONAL ART (L174) H W Lai -- Drifted back, best part of 8Ls from leaders in running line, helped by strong tempo, held up early in straight, closed nicely final 200 M to run in a nice 2nd.
3 10 CERISE CHERRY (L141) G Cheyne CP-/B1 Pressed on to angle into a role in front of midfield, 3Ls off decent speed throughout, made a run on turning, battled strongly last 200 M to snare 3rd.
4 9 ST FEVRE (L002) M Chadwick TT Showed speed, engaged in speed battle with leader, used up racing outside pace, came back to inside turning in, closed respectably given workload.
5 2 CHATER WAY (L093) D Whyte B- Drifted out of it early from a wide alley, 8Ls away 3 wide with cover, suited by strong speed on, still well back turning, made gradual progress to be nearest.
6 13 LAMBRO (CH083) W M Lai B/TT Taken back from a wide alley, at rear nearly 10Ls from top end, aided by solid tempo, last turning, worked home nicely through the pack.
7 3 PRESTO (CJ048) O Doleuze -- Standard break, soon midfield 6Ls back on rails, soft run in mid-section, saved ground turning, made minor headway without threatening.
8 4 ENRICHED (CK254) Z Purton TT Nice break, raced 4Ls or so away behind solid speed, kept to rails to bend, steadied 300 M but lacked usual kick when in clear, disappointing finish. (Jockey reported "flat".)
9 14 DEPOSER (L092) T H So -- Usual speed to lead, kept working with pressure from outside horses, narrowly in front turning, soon faded after early work.
10 6 DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) A Suborics -- Out in line, settled behind midfield 6Ls or so back, OK run to turn, lacked a finish and just battled in straight.
11 7 FIRM OFFER (CE008) B Prebble SR/TT Rearward as usual, 9 to 10Ls away on rails, aided by strong tempo, improved turning but didn't let down as usual, shortened stride at 200 M and blundered when eased down.
12 1 MASTER POWER (CG318) D Beadman B Fairly away, parked wide without cover in midfield, 5Ls back to turn, struggled in straight after a hard run.
13 11 VENI VEDI VICI (CJ081) C K Tong PC/TT Average break, raced 3 wide behind midfield 7Ls or so back, had cover to bend, didn't let down in straight.
14 8 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) K C Leung CP-/XB/B2/TT Took a midfield role soon after start, 5Ls back and didn't use much mid-section, faded out cheaply in straight. (Blood in trachea.)
