1 5 FULL OF BEAUTY (C003) J Moreira -- With leaders early before taken back to 4th just over 2L off the pace, quickened well to lead 200 metres out, won cozily.
2 8 WATER DIVINER (V356) C Y Ho B/H/TT Vied for lead 4-wide after beginning from a wide gate, pressed forward to take up running on the rail about 900 metres out, led until headed under pressure 200 metres out.
3 7 LEAN PERFECTION (B040) K Teetan -- Settled wide in midfield after a moderate start from the widest gate, without cover rounding home bend and into the straight, ran on well under pressure to be nearest at finish.
4 6 FORTUNE BOOTH (A418) Z Purton B-/CP2 Settled wide in last few, remained same into the straight, quickened well inside the final 300 metres, did best work late.
5 1 UGLY WARRIOR (B083) H N Wong -- Broke well to lead, snatched back to 2nd 2-wide approaching home bend and travelled alongside leader turning for home, unable to sustain effort inside the final 200 metres.
6 10 ASSIMILATE (C160) M Chadwick H/TT Slowly away and slow to muster travelling well behind, badly hampered making home bend, produced strong late finish inside the final 200 metres.
7 3 SUPER HOPPY (A372) H Bowman TT Broke well but settled towards the rear, hampered 600 metres out, ran on past beaten horses in home straight.
8 9 STIMULATION (B351) C Williams CP/TT Ridden after a moderate start, settling in midfield when hampered on top of home bend, lost position when tight between runners turning into home straight, kept on steadily while hanging in.
9 4 FLAT HEAVEN (C194) M F Poon -- Began fairly from the one draw, raced keenly in 5th about 3L off the pace, checked off heels on top of home bend and did not find much room shortly after straightening, found nothing under pressure. (Tactic questioned)
10 11 KING OF HEARTS (C145) K C Ng TT Soon taken back to trail the field, improved to join other back-markers rounding home bend but forced very wide making final turn, went past well-beaten horses closing stages.
11 2 WAH MAY FRIEND (T309) H T Mo TT Niggled at early sharing pace on the rail, dropped 2L back to 3rd rounding home bend and checked off front-runner's heels when pace slackened, folded up quickly inside the final 300 metres. (Blood in trachea)
12 12 MR LUMIERES (B179) T H So -- Began awkwardly losing ground, recovered quickly to rear of midfield on the rail, forced to check and lost a few lengths on top of home bend, saved ground making home turn, soon weakened in straight. (Tactic questioned)
