1 4 REAL SUPREME (CL247) M Chadwick B/TT Pressed forward from a wide gate to race outside leader, kept leader honest throughout and threw down challenge at 400m, was headed by 2nd horse at 200m but fought back strongly to score.
2 3 VOILE ROUGE (M343) D Whyte B/TT Began well, took ideal spot 1 out 1 back, all favours 2Ls back throughout, set out after leaders at 400m and gained advantage but unable to contain eventual winner who fought back late.
3 10 I SMELL MONEY (M019) F Coetzee B Fast into stride, took a sit on leaders back, fair run using little to bend, right there at 400m but lacked dash to go with principals, kept on honestly for 3rd.
4 13 OPEN SESAME (CL091) J Lloyd TT No early pace, ended up behind midfield on rails, enjoyed a quiet trip 5Ls away, saved ground rounding turn and set out after lead group at 400m, did well to make inroads and take 4th.
5 11 MY NAME IS BOND (M287) Y T Cheng -- Raced in rearward division 8Ls of so away from lead, angled off rails rounding bend, closed best of rest making good ground to be nearest at finish.
6 2 CHATER MIKADO (M100) W C Marwing B2 Tardy into stride, dropped down to rear, best part of 12Ls back, made run widest turn and made many lengths in straight to be closest on line.
7 12 JUMBO GOLD (CK393) M Du Plessis TT Even break, raced just behind pace on rails 3-4Ls back, no excuses to bend, one paced when clear and dropped off final 200m.
8 7 FORTUNE RED PEPPER (CK199) A Suborics -- Slow into stride, settled at rear on rails 10Ls or more off lead, still plenty to do on bend, took inside runs and made some late ground without threatening.
9 14 HAPPY YEAH YEAH (M085) M L Yeung B Pressed forward from outside gate and used a bit to lead, kept speed genuine in middle stages, headed at 400m and kept giving but work and additional trip took toll final furlong.
10 8 FREDERICK ENGELS (N187) B Prebble SR Assumed a midfield position, raced 4-5Ls back in running line, hung approaching bend and didn't put in thereafter with jockey easing final furlong.
11 6 ALL ROUND (N222) K C Ng -- Settled just off midfield 6-7Ls back in running line, fair run mid section, one paced when pressure applied and made no serious progress.
12 1 PIZZAZZ (CL145) K C Leung H/TT Drifted back from a tricky alley, 10Ls or so away at rear, still well back to bend, lacked usual turn of foot and only passed tired ones late.
13 9 SPIRIT SOARING (N099) T Clark H1/TT No early pace, settled in rear division, 8Ls away middle stages, came 3 wide turning, no real impression.
14 5 LEELI'S STAR (N219) O Doleuze SR1 Unable to slot in and settled in midfield 3 wide without cover, 4-5Ls back, struggling before turn, dropped right out.
