1 1 GRAND DRAGON (CK064) O Doleuze -- Bounded in the air at the start and lost ground settling in a midfield position with cover midway through the race. Improved nicely to join the leaders by the furlong and showed a good turn of foot to draw away.
2 8 GANBARIA (CE052) G Mosse B Camped midfield with cover. For a considerable distance after the 400 M was held up and unable to obtain clear running. Closed off strongly after working into the clear.
3 12 BLESS US ALL (CK086) B Doyle SR-/XB1 Settled back in the field near the outside rail. Commenced to shift in after the 300 M to secure running, finishing off soundly.
4 6 SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) C W Wong -- Was a little slow to begin, then lost further ground when crowded for room then failed to muster speed settling at the rear. Near the 400 M, shifted in to obtain clear running, ran on well down the centre of the track.
5 13 MY MELODY (CJ157) Y T Cheng B/TT Showed good speed to lead early but peaked on its run over the latter stages.
6 11 XAVERIAN QUEST (CJ345) D Beadman -- Travelled close to the outside rail in 2nd position. Was under heavy pressure after the 300 M, drifted to the inside over the last 100 M, never quickened.
7 2 KING OF SCOTS (CK084) D Whyte -- Travelled on the speed. Failed to quicken after the 300 M, faded during the final stages.
8 3 BRAVO WINNER (CK035) Z Purton XB1 Raced towards the outside rail, midfield. Shifted in to continue improving after the 300 M, received some inconvenience over the concluding stages.
9 7 FAIR NAVIGATOR (CJ254) W C Marwing TT Raced on the speed along the outside fence. Didn't find any extra in the run to the wire.
10 14 SINGLE MALT (CK110) M Chadwick TT Raced along the centre of the track, handy to the leaders, but commenced to tire joining the course proper. Not likely.
11 9 MATSUKAZE (CK150) J Winks H1 Began awkwardly and lost a considerable amount of ground settling close to 2nd last. Didn't really recover paddling to the post.
12 10 SO PRETTY SO SMART (CK063) B Prebble -- Travelled towards the middle of the straight track. Never became involved at the business end.
13 4 SCOOT DA LOOT (CH274) C K Tong B Travelled in a midfield position, but was a beaten horse by the 350 M.
14 5 LEAD THE PROSPECTS (CJ195) W M Lai -- Tracked the speed but was a spent force by the 400 M, giving ground quickly by that point.
