1 10 COMPACT YARN (CK377) H W Lai B Led early then handed up near the 1200m, box seating along the paint. Surged to the lead passing the final furlong and kept on nicely to the wire.
2 9 PRIVATE ROAD (CK189) C Y Ho B Camped in second position outside the leader, no cover. Stayed on soundly in the final stretch.
3 5 FAT DRAGON (CD130) M W Leung B Took control of the race near the 1200m settling along the fence. Set even fractions and fought gamely after being headed near the 150m.
4 3 TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) M L Yeung B/H Parked 1 out 1 back. Worked home steadily to stay in the frame.
5 6 GREAT LUCK (CL101) G Mosse TT Slow to begin travelling midfield, 3 wide with cover. Swung wide on the final turn but reached its peak near the 100m and was one paced thereafter.
6 2 HOW WONDERFUL (CK397) G Cheyne B/SR Rated behind midfield 1 off with cover. Angled out 5 deep on the home turn & made some late ground without threatening.
7 11 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) W M Lai B Travelled 3 back along the paint with cover. Commenced to give some ground after the 500m and in the home straight failed to find any extra.
8 4 SUPER GENKI (CH195) B Prebble B/TT Raced in last position along the rails with cover. Kept to the inside in the straight and whacked away at the same pace over the final furlong.
9 7 HAPPY EAGLE (CL347) B Doyle CP Settled worse than midfield the fence. Only plodded home.
10 1 VIVA GUY (CK318) D Whyte B Jumped on terms then from a wide barrier was taken back. Was unable to gain cover and was posted 3 wide midfield for most of the trip. Never likely.
