1 4 ULTRA FANTASY (CG311) H W Lai B/TT Allowed an easy lead and set a slow tempo at the front end, quickened up well and kicked 2Ls clear in mid-stretch, kept on in late stages and just lasted home.
2 3 GREEN BIRDIE (CH245) B Prebble V-/H- Blundered at the start, towards the rear early but moved a shade closer approaching home bend, ran on strongly inside 300M to finish closest at the line.
3 1 HAPPY ZERO (CK079) Z Purton XB/H Slow to begin, placed 2-wide 3-4Ls off the slow pace, ran on well inside 350M under a 5lb penalty.
4 2 ONE WORLD (CH133) D Beadman XB/H/TT Dropped to rear about 5Ls behind leader, angled out approaching home straight and made promising headway down the outside.
5 8 AMIGO (CK358) J Lloyd -- Forwardly placed behind leaders, not suited by the slow tempo and became unsettled approaching the Home Turn, kept on without quickening and was outpaced by the fast finishers inside 100M. (Jockey questioned.)
6 6 DIM SUM (CH226) K C Leung B Raced at the hindquarters of the leader, kept on in straight but couldn't find extra pace when the race got serious.
7 5 EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) W C Marwing TT Taken back to last, took time to muster in straight and never looked like reaching leaders. Minor headway inside 200 M.
8 7 NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) O Doleuze -- Broke fastest but was reserved off the leaders, kept on one paced until weakening inside 150M.
