1 12 SHIBALA (CK230) O Doleuze B-/TT Speared across from an outside barrier to race in the lead along the paint by the 900m. Made every post a winner thereafter to record a strong win.
2 9 TOMODACHI (M026) Z Purton XB/P1/H1 Missed the start then raced on the bridle just behind midfield. Stayed to the inside in the straight and ran on soundly.
3 8 REAL DRAGON (M144) M Chadwick TT1 Camped 1 out 1 back. Maintained an even gallop right to the wire.
4 1 WASABISABI (CJ221) K C Leung H Struck some interference early settling in the box seat. Travelled comfortably in the run but tired over the latter stages.
5 13 SUGAR ON TOP (CG274) M Guyon B Settled in last position. Rounded the home turn widest and closed off nicely.
6 6 FIERCE FORCE (M146) B Doyle -- Settled at the tail of the field along the paint. Railed up in the straight and worked home fairly.
7 4 MING HOI GLORY (M020) D Beadman -- Luckless in the run coursing 3-4 wide without cover, behind midfield. Straightened wide and was never likely.
8 11 AMAZING AWARD (L232) Y T Cheng TT Was prominent early before receiving interference on the first turn and setting 3 back thereafter. Faded over the final 300m.
9 2 TELECOM SUPER STAR (CK386) N Callan XB1/TT- Raced behind midfield 2 wide with cover. Stayed on at the same speed over the concluding stages. An endoscopic examination after the race showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.
10 5 EASY GOLD (L431) D Whyte B1 Copped a check near the 800m, settling 1 off with cover close to midfield. Looked for runs through the field in the straight but was only one paced in the run home.
11 10 VICTORIA SMILE (L365) C W Wong -- Raced near the tail of the field 3-4 wide with cover. Only plodded to the finishing line.
12 3 TRAVEL KING (CK240) T Angland CP/TT Travelled behind midfield 3 wide with some cover on the circle. Gave ground in the final stretch. An endoscopic examination after the race showed a substantial amount of mucopus in the horse's trachea.
13 7 POLYMER POWER (L417) H W Lai -- Settled with the backmakers, 2 deep with cover. Struggled in the home straight.
14 14 YOUNG SUPREME (L074) J Lloyd V/TT1 Not the best away but mustered sufficient speed to improve early and parked outside the leader. Was eased down over the final furlong. To trial. (See incident report.)
