1 8 HO IN ONE (N382) G Lerena CP/TT1 Slightly bumped on jumping before easing forward to sit midfield, 1 off the fence. Came wide down the straight for clear running. Ran strongly late, and stuck the nose in front right on the line to win in the tightest of finishes.
2 1 ENORMOUS HONOUR (T236) K K Chiong B Began OK and settled midfield, 3 wide with limited cover before being forced wider at the 800m with no cover. Kicked from 150m, but lay in late and forced to put the whip away, losing by the barest margin on the line.
3 4 SUPER LEADER (V016) D Whyte -- Cruised forward from the inside gate to be handily place 4th/5th, 2L off the leader on the rail. Ran well in the straight and stepped up from the 150m. Nosed in front at 30m, before being rolled late.
4 9 SENSATION (S225) M L Yeung H/V/TT- Bumped on jumping before being steadily taken forward to sit 3rd, 3 wide with no cover. 2nd at the 200m, and best placed to take on the weakening leader, but swamped late in a tight finish to miss a place.
5 7 CHEVALIER STAR (T167) Z Purton B/H Taken forward early to set the tempo in front. Still in front at the 30m, but weakening and was swamped late in a big finish.
6 11 RAGING BULL (S370) J Moreira H/P Pushed forward early from the wide draw to sit a 0.5L behind the leader, 1 off the fence. Well placed at the 150m, but peaked soon after and dropped out of the tight finish.
7 3 VERBINSKY (V052) M Chadwick TT Fairly away, then steadied and taken back to be 3rd last, 1 off the fence. Improved to the turn and ran on steadily in the straight, without threatening a place.
7 5 MARVEL HERO (T311) O Doleuze -- Settled forward of midfield, on the rail. Plugged on OK late, and held up slightly concluding.
9 12 ACCLAIMED LIGHT (T369) K C Leung B Allowed to press forward early to sit 4th, 1 off the fence. Awkward on heels at 900m and lost some ground. Ran OK early in the straight and well placed at 200m, before dropping out from that point.
10 2 SOLAR HEI HEI (T242) B Prebble H Taken back early to sit worse than midfield, on the rails. Moved from a rails run to 5 wide in the straight. Crowded at 300m and taken wider from there looking for a run. Ran on OK, but never a threat to place.
11 13 VARA PEARL (S138) K C Ng SR Dropped back early to sit 2nd last, 1 off the fence 7L off the leader. Stayed on OK in the straight, and still gaining some ground late.
12 6 BEST REWARD (V189) Y T Cheng B1 Slow to begin and only fairly into stride, sitting last early almost 10L off the leader. Still trailing on the turn and only fair in the straight, picking up a couple easing out late.
13 10 COURAGEOUS BROTHER (T397) K Teetan H Began well and pushed up to sit just behind the early leader, on the rail. Became unsettled and had to check off heels 900m. Under pressure before the turn, and dropped out quickly from the 300m.
14 14 BRAVE KNIGHT (T226) T H So H/XB OK away, dropping back early to be worse than midfield, 1 off the fence. Came wider on the turn, but never responded to urging and was eased up a long way from home.
