1 2 CAGA SPIRIT (CK287) Y T Cheng TT1 Held the fence and travelled in 2nd position. Drew clear after the 400m and repelled a late challenge.
2 5 FORTUNE SPIRIT (CK102) Z Purton B/TT Stalked the leader along the fence. Was reluctant to hold its position after the 400m however closed off well after peeling out prior to the home turn.
3 3 DR WIN (CL203) D Whyte -- Was in the leading trio early, 3 deep, before managing to slot in and park on the back of the leaders, 1 off with cover after the 800m. Kept up a sound effort over the concluding stages.
4 11 SPICY SHRIMP (CL067) K W Leung H Worked forward to take up leading duties whilst traveling 1 off. Hung out for most of the trip, maintained a fair gallop to the post. (To trial.)
5 12 DR UNION (CK105) W M Lai P/H Positioned behind midfield, 2 wide with cover. Rounded the home bend about 5 deep and made nice ground in the straight.
6 7 LINKED WIN (CL042) O Doleuze B Taken back from a wide gate to travel back in the field, 1 off with cover. Straightened about 4 deep and made good ground in the run to the wire.
7 10 SONOFTHEWEST (CL063) G Cheyne B/TT Camped midfield, 2 deep with cover. Kept on one paced in the run to the line.
8 9 LOTS OF FUN (CL089) M W Leung -- Proved a handful early whilst overracing taking up a position at the tail of the field. Battled away down the outside in the final stretch.
9 6 CARE FREE MIDAS (CH053) M Chadwick B Began awkwardly, lost ground settling at the rear, 3 wide without cover. Never likely.
10 4 FAVOURITE SUPREME (CH203) C K Tong XB/TT Began on terms then drifted back to travel with the backmakers along the paint. Failed to close off.
11 1 JEN TRUMPS (CL011) W C Marwing B Travelled 3 back along the paint. Fenced up in the home straight but only plodded to the line.
