1 12 BRAVE SPIRIT (CJ258) M Chadwick CP-/B1/TT Enjoyed an easy run on fence behind leaders. Pushed by the runner up in the straight but kept on finding enough to keep rivals at bay.
2 13 AMITYSHIP (CK023) K C Leung B/TT Handy position through to the home turn. Had a duel with the eventual winner in the straight. Fended off closing stages yet pulled nicely clear of others.
3 3 EVER KING (CE147) D Beadman V/TT Raced behind midfield early. Took closer order on fence round the bend and was 5Ls down on straightening. Kept making headway to snatch minor placing without posing threats to the top pair.
4 2 DASH AHEAD (CD199) T H So SR Settled amongst last few on fence back straight. Took inside run and was 6Ls behind the lead making the home turn. Progressed steadily in the straight to make frame near the line.
5 14 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) C W Wong TT Urged early and sat better than midfield on fence back straight. Hard ridden from 500 M. Just held ground in the home straight.
6 1 GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) C K Tong B Eased to rear after start from a wide draw. Came widest and was about 10Ls off on straightening. Responded fairly well in the home straight.
7 10 NAMJONG FIGHTERS (CG308) M L Yeung -- Always within 4Ls behind the pace through to the home turn. Couldn't keep up when the race got serious.
8 6 ZEPHYRUS (CH285) G Cheyne B/TT Never better than midfield. One-paced to conclude.
9 8 LUCKY MONEY (CE159) M W Leung -- Disputed lead through to the home turn. Hit front briefly at 400 M but was soon swamped thereafter.
10 4 KING FAY FAY (CH089) D Whyte -- Elected to sit towards rear after start. Ridden from 600 M and past only beaten rivals.
11 11 FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) J Lloyd TT2 Trailed field for the major part of the race. Made up some ground in the straight but hung in badly.
12 5 ALICE TOO (CG309) Y T Cheng B/XB/TT Led along on fence and soon dropped out on straightening.
13 9 NEW KID IN TOWN (CK195) Z Purton B-/TT1 Pushed to stay midfield early. Given reminder round the bend to stay in touch but found nothing. Never in the hunt.
