1 7 SHOW MISSION (T436) J Moreira B Well placed off the pace on rails, quickened well under pressure to take charge over 150 metres out, won cozily.
2 5 GIDDY GIDDY (S367) O Doleuze H-/B/TT Broke well from the widest gate, pressed forward to travel 2-wide just off the leader at the Rock, sustained run to join the lead briefly turning for home, drifted out under pressure early in straight and soon headed.
3 12 NOBLE BUDDIES (T356) M L Yeung CP1/TT Settled in midfield, commenced move leaving the Rock, just over 2L back in 5th turning into straight but baulked early on, fought on steadily inside final 200 metres.
4 9 PERFECT SMART (S413) C Y Ho B/H/TT Moderate start, travelled mainly in 5th within 3L of pace, fought on steadily in straight.
5 3 GOLDEN GLORY (T076) K Teetan B/TT2 Jumped fairly, settled in rear of midfield, produced good late impression inside final 200 metres.
6 8 ALL TOGETHER (T420) M Chadwick B/H/TT Ridden to hold prominent position early stages, dropped to rear of leading pack in 7th coming out of back straight, produced late impression in the run to line. (Blood in trachea)
7 6 HIGHLAND DRAGON (N265) N Callan B Shared pace early, taken 2L back in 4th shortly afterwards, found nothing under pressure from a similar position into straight.
8 2 PROMPT EXPRESS (T168) Z Purton XB/CP1 Moderate start, worked his way forward to assume lead on rails at the Rock, saved ground turning for home, unable to sustain effort and overhauled inside final 200 metres. (Lame next day)
9 11 ALL TIMES LUCKY (P064) T H So XB Broke well, quickly taken back towards the rear, remained in similar position to straight, kept on steadily without quickening.
10 4 FLYING PROSPERITY (V159) K C Leung -- Never a danger.
11 10 KING OF SMARTS (S176) K K Chiong SR/XB/TT Began awkwardly losing considerable ground, never seen with a chance.
12 1 FANTASTIC FABIO (V364) H N Wong -- Lacked early pace, soon dropped towards the rear, never a factor.
