1 11 HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) C Y Ho PC-/B1/TT In second half of the field early stages, pushed along and moved closer to a midfield spot home turn, kept responding in the straight under pressure to get up close home.
2 7 ETERNAL FORTUNE (K010) J McDonald TT Chased leaders in 4th, closed off well final 300M, fought neck to neck with eventual winner from 150M, just denied.
3 3 YOUTHFUL SPIRITS (J082) L Ferraris SR/TT Sped to the lead, opened up 2L advantage turning home, kept going well only to be caught by first two passing 50M.
4 1 ATOMIC FORCE (G221) H Bowman XB/TT Slow to begin, raced towards the rear early stages before improving to midfield home turn, stayed on under big weight to claim modest 4th. Gap to rest.
5 8 BUNTA BABY (J465) K C Leung B-/CP1/TT Jumped on terms, settled ahead of midfield, kept on steadily on straightening but couldn't quicken enough to challenge leaders.
6 2 RED ELEGANCE (H241) M Chadwick B Shifted out abruptly at the start, ridden along to maintain a midfield spot, checked 600M and lost ground, lay out in the straight and proved difficult to fully test. No threat to first four.
7 9 CHARMING BABE (J513) M F Poon H1/TT Checked shortly after the start, raced towards the rear, plenty to do top of straight, ran past beaten horses only.
8 12 DO YOUR PART (J444) A Atzeni H1 Jumped only fairly, ended up racing near last, 9Ls off leader 400M, made some progress in the straight but never a threat to leaders.
9 6 ALLGREEKTOME (H007) E C W Wong TT Chased leader in a fast run race, lost 2nd nearing 200M then weakened away. (Blood in trachea / Trainer : disadvantaged by rival showing superior pace in early stages.)
10 10 HAPPY UNITED (H208) L Hewitson PC/TT Positively ridden early stages, stayed prominent behind leader but gave ground passing 300M.
11 5 TURF PHOENIX (J294) M L Yeung B1 Soon outpaced, in last spot over 10Ls off the pace, failed to quicken on straightening. Never in the picture.
