1 10 JUST GOOD (CL133) G Mosse H Slow to begin, settling close to midfield on the paint. Made good progress on the inside after the 600m and responded well to claim the prize close to the line.
2 2 FLYING KEEPER (M191) Z Purton TT Crowded early, settling towards the tail of the field on the fence with cover. Steadily improved after the 600m, chased gamely down the running.
3 9 YOUNG SUPREME (CL074) M L Yeung P Settled in 2nd position, 1 off no cover. Rolled forward and assumed the lead on the fence after the 600m. Shot clear early in the straight, was collard over the final 100m.
4 5 TELECOM TOP STAR (CL276) R Fourie B Travelled in last position close to the fence, had cover. Kept finding the line despite hanging in and proving difficult to ride in the run home.
5 8 TAKE THE RAP (CL369) D Whyte CP/TT Settled midfield 1 off the fence with cover. Kept plugging away in the home straight without threatening.
6 4 GOOD SMILE (CK360) H W Lai -- Led early then was headed after the 600m and box seated thereafter on the rails. Faded over the final 150m.
7 3 PERFECT JOY (M182) T Angland B2/TT Went back from a wide gate and raced at the rear, 3 deep with cover. Was dour in the final stretch.
8 1 ENJOY THE FUN (M030) T Berry SR/TT Travelled wide early, then camped midfield, 3 deep with cover. Never quickened in the straight, and whacked away at the same speed.
9 7 DIAMOND ANGEL (M212) O Doleuze B/H/TT Settled worse than midfield, 3 deep with cover. Failed to close off.
10 6 FORTUNE TERRITORY (N272) C Y Ho B/TT Began awkwardly then failed to muster speed settling back in the field, 1 off with cover. Made no impression in the final stretch.
11 11 NAMJONG TURBO (N250) K C Leung B/SR Coursed wide in the early stages, on the speed. Managed to slot in and race 1 off near the 600m, without cover, in 3rd position. Never a factor.
12 12 CRIMSON (N025) T H So B-/TT Settled handy in the run, 2 deep with cover. Struggled in the home straight.
