2 3 FAT CHOY OOHLALA (L250) B Prebble B Began better than usual, took ideal spot two wide just behind pace, tracked well to bend, loomed at hit lead at 300m, kept fighting and was caught in final 50m.
3 6 DRAGON FIGHTER (L260) M L Yeung -- Jumped with rest, posted 3 wide without cover 2-3Ls back, did it tough in mid section, joined in at 300m and stuck on bravely just missing 2nd.
4 1 MILITARY MOVE (M077) D Beadman H/XB Taken back to rear from outside alley, settled last 7-8ls back on rails, same position but made 2 wide run turning, gradually shifted into clear and closed hard to make frame.
5 8 PURE CHAMPION (M178) M Chadwick TT Even break, unable to slot in and trapped 4 wide without cover, hard work in mid section, didn’t dash but kept on soundly given workload to be not far away in finish.
5 13 MR BOND (M098) K C Leung -- Standard jump, pushed up to race midfield 3-4ls back on rails, quiet time in mid section, saved ground turning, stayed on ok to be nearest on line.
7 12 DIEGO (CK088) M Du Plessis B Tardy into stride, positioned behind midfield 5-6ls back in running line, keen in mid section, made some ground down middle but couldn’t get closer last 150m.

12 14 NORTH HILL (CJ082) W M Lai -- Amongst first few to begin, all favours situated on leaders back, kept to rails throughout, weakened out from 300m.
13 11 APPRECIATION (CK161) Z Purton V/TT Lobbed in a midfield position 4-5ls back in running line, no excuses to bend, stopped soon after straightening.
14 10 TRES MAGNIFIQUE (L367) Y T Cheng SR/TT Pushed early to take a prominent spot, up close throughout outside leader racing two wide, struggling turning and faded out tamely to be beaten a long way.
