1 14 SUPER FORTUNE (G065) M F Poon TT Moved up to be 2nd on settling, took lead nearing 200M, kicked away late stages for a comfortable victory.
2 6 HEROIC MASTER (G394) Z Purton B/TT In touch, loomed 300M, tried hard but couldn't get closer to winner in the run home. Lay out under pressure final 200M.
3 5 AURIO (K056) B Thompson TT Dropped back to race at the rear 6Ls back, closed off final 400M fastest, just missed 2nd.
4 1 HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) H Bowman B/TT Settled in midfield, ran home mildly when driven along inside 400M, never going the pace to challenge first few.
5 2 CARROLL STREET (D489) L Hewitson CP/SR/TT From draw 14 raced along the stand's rail and always in touch with leaders, poised to strike 300M but run ended 100M from home.
6 13 POSITIVE SMILE (J467) M L Yeung -- Maintained a position behind midfield, made short-lived effort passing 400M, held ground over final stages.
7 11 CHEVAL VALIANT (E336) P N Wong B/TT Sent forward under 10lb claimer, raced keenly in the lead, headed near 200M then gave ground final stages. (Jockey : First run in 84 days, would derive benefit from today's performance.)
8 12 GRAND NOVA (J323) K Teetan E From draw 1 unable to find cover during the race, settled behind midfield 5Ls back, found less than expected when asked 400M.
9 10 PARTERRE (E234) K De Melo B Held up in midfield 4Ls off leaders, ran home one-paced. Never dangerous.
10 8 O'LINER (H264) A Hamelin TT Stayed in touch behind leaders until 300M when outpaced. (Jockey : no explanation for the disappointing performance.)
11 4 TURF PHOENIX (J294) C L Chau B Guided to the stand's rail and obtained a position behind mid-division, couldn't muster the speed to challenge over final 400M.
12 9 SKY CAP (K125) A Pouchin TT1 Reserved behind midfield, failed to run on over final 500M. Never threatened.
13 3 PLEASANT ENDEAVOR (E114) E C W Wong B Settled near last, niggled long 600M from home but didn't respond to riding. Never in the picture.
14 7 MAGIC HALLOW (J329) M Chadwick XB/TT Chased leaders, came under pressure halfway, gave ground passing 400M, weakened to last.
