1 8 HAPPY ZERO (CK079) W C Marwing H Nicely placed 3Ls back in 3rd with cover at 800 M, moved closer on straightening and led 300 M out, pulled clear for another comfortable win.
2 5 ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) O Doleuze TT Very reluctant on way to start, 3-back the rails 4Ls off in 5th at 800 M, closer off last curve, kept on best of the rest, had little chance with winner. (Tactic questioned.)
3 12 LUCKY RED (CJ059) W M Lai -- Crossed from wide gate to set a good pace by 2Ls at 800 M, headed about 300 M out, gamely clung on for a place.
4 3 FINN MACCOOL (CK072) D Whyte -- Lost ground at the start, 6Ls down and a little green at first, closer but wide off last turn, kept on fairly well and narrowly missed a place.
5 2 BOOMING CITY (CE325) M L Yeung B/TT 2-wide and 4Ls back in 4th leaving back straight, 2Ls down off last bend, had his opportunity to place but couldn't find that bit extra.
6 6 GO DAN GO (CJ327) Z Purton -- Over-raced on rails with head high in places along back straight, just 3Ls back in 5th or so off last bend, weakened out gradually thereafter.
7 11 HORSE WIN WIN (CJ078) Y T Cheng -- Slow to muster pace and 8Ls back in 12th at the 800 M, made some minor late ground past beaten rivals in the homestretch.
8 9 ROCKET POWER (CH136) K L Chui B/TT Went back from a wide gate and soon detached in rear, 9Ls last swinging for home, ran on past a few spent rivals to wrap up.
9 7 NOBLE DE BEST (CJ160) K T Yeung B1/TT1 Fractious in the gates, soon about 8Ls behind in rear, still well back off last bend, never any danger.
10 14 NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) K C Leung -- Posted 4-wide no cover throughout, 4Ls back in midfield at halfway, wider off final turn and extra work led to a one-paced conclusion.
11 10 WIND KNIGHT (CJ326) C K Tong SR Went back from a wide gate, at least 7Ls from the pace until home straight, never on terms and eased late.
12 1 PICKETT (CG155) T H So -- Raced 2Ls back in 2nd down back straight, 1L down but hard pressed to hold position off last turn, well beaten before the 200 M and eased late.
13 4 ZAM ZAMMAH (CJ016) J Victoire -- Raced greenly with head up down the back in midfield, 4Ls back off final bend but soon wilted.
14 13 GALACTIC TACTIC (CH095) S K Sit -- Towards rear about 6Ls behind at first, checked at the 800 M, 5Ls down off last bend but soon outpaced and eased down close home.
