1 12 BRILLIANT CHARIOT (CL242) W M Lai B/TT Parked 3 back the fence with cover. Shifted away from the rail rounding the home turn, then switched in near the 250 to find clear running. Stayed on gamely.
2 11 SUPREME TYCOON (CL106) Y T Cheng B/H/TT Taken back from the outside alley and settled 2 deep with cover in last position. Angled out wide early in the straight and hit the line with plenty of purpose.
3 7 HEI HEI POSH (M390) D Beadman -- Settled behind midfield, 3 wide with cover. Was under pressure after the 500m, responded gamely and finished off soundly.
4 1 TOY STORY (CJ217) M Chadwick SR/TT Rated in a handy position, 2 deep with cover. Peeled out turning for home but was overhauled inside the last 50m.
5 8 SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) D Whyte H-/P-/V1 Travelled third from the rear along the fence. Railed up in the final stretch and got all the favours after the 300m but ended its run well short of the line.
6 9 EUPHEMISM (CL413) N Callan B-/TT Slow to begin settling 3 wide with cover, midfield. Ridden along after the 500m, and worked home steadily without threatening.
7 4 BILLION (CH316) C K Tong TT Led along the paint. Faded over the last 100m.
8 2 JOYFUL WINNER II (M094) C Y Ho B/H/TT Raced prominently, 1 off with out cover. Was crossed after the 700m, had a nice trail thereafter but failed to capitalize.
9 5 YUAN'S FORTUNE (CL021) C W Wong -- Good position early, settling midfield, 2 deep with cover. Was under pressure after the 700m, and never looked likely, weakening over the last 100m.
10 10 NICKU (CK389) M L Yeung TT Posted 3 wide without cover after the 1200m. Worked forward to eventually cross and race outside the lead passing the 700m. Was a spent force near the furlong.
11 6 SPLENDID CHAMPION (CL041) G Mosse TT Settled at the back of the field, along the fence with cover. Kept to the inside in the straight but failed to close off.
12 3 TRACK LIGHTNING (M029) T Angland B/H Tracked the leader along the paint. Struggled in the run home. (Bled.)
