1 8 DRAGON KINGDOM (E211) K Teetan -- Began very fast to lead. Held lead all the way & raced clear to win by a length on line.
2 5 DURHAM STAR (E082) L Hewitson B/XB Steadied from widest gate & shifted back to race at the tail. Shifted to be the widest runner on straightening when continuing near the rear before making strong late ground down the outside to charge to fast finishing second.
3 6 SURE JOYFUL (G125) K C Leung P Raced midfield along the rail throughout. Stayed along the rail in straight & finished off well to hold third in a big bunch of runners behind the first two.
4 9 HAPPILY FRIENDS (C533) C Y Ho V Raced just behind the speed when two wide before shifting down to the rail & racing on leaders back from the 700m. Moved to second at the 200m mark before finishing off steadily to be 4th in a big bunch just behind on line.
5 4 SMART LEADER (B456) M Chadwick B/TT Raced in midfield away from the rail throughout. Closed off steadily between runners in final furlong to be in a big bunch that were all beaten around 2L on line.
6 2 SPARKY STAR (C416) J Moreira B Out-sped at start before shifting across behind runners to race at the tail. Stayed close to the rail on straightening, began closing well before awkwardly placed near heels at 125m before shifting out & finishing ok late.
7 11 HARRIER JET (T372) C Wong B Raced third before being crossed & getting cover when racing 1,1 from the 650m. Gave a length in the run to the line & was beaten just under 3L.
8 3 YOUTHFUL DEAL (G340) Z Purton -- Began fairly, raced wide around first bend before being steadied & racing very keenly when caught three deep without cover in midfield. Forced very wide on cornering, finished off fairly late, will be better for experience.
9 1 REGENCY STAR (E399) H Bentley CP Raced in midfield away from the rail throughout. Eased three wide before cornering, was finishing off one paced before weakening a length in last 50m. No threat.
10 10 HANDSOME VEGGIE (G007) M L Yeung -- No early speed & raced third last before improving slightly along the rail in middle stages. Was finishing off only one paced when racing between rivals before being checked in final stages but was no factor at that point.
11 12 TAILOR MADE (C522) R Maia TT Got back to race third last away from the rail after the start. Continued rearward on cornering before being badly held up when having no clear running for entirety of final furlong. Not tested & genuine excuse.
12 7 SUPER CLASS (G086) C L Chau B-/XB1 Raced wide before continuing to improve to eventually get up to race outside the leader from the 750m. Peaked near the 200m mark & weakened out quickly in last furlong to be last.
