1 12 BUMPER STAR (BK014) B Marcus -- Made all, drawing clear inside final 200 M to win comfortably.
2 14 ALLEGRESSE (BK189) C K Chung -- Ridden in midfield early, improving steadily to prominent position home bend. Failed to quicken under pressure in straight but kept on well to line to retain 2nd.
3 3 ORIENTAL SOVEREIGN (BH165) G Childs -- Well there until checked approaching 1000 M, losing considerable ground. Soon renewed effort from 11th round home bend and reached 9th entering straight. Continued to run on to be nearest at finish. (Finished lame.)
3 6 SPLENDID TIMING (BK219) L O'Sullivan -- Jumped well, racing freely early and dropped to 4th home bend. Close up entering straight but just kept on same pace under pressure.
5 8 STAR OF MARBLE (BJ096) W L Ho -- Towards rear early, improving to midfield passing 900 M. Kept on steadily in straight to be nearest at finish.
6 4 LEPRECHAUN (BK116) A S Cruz -- Rear until making up ground in straight, doing best work at finish. (Wide throughout.)
7 7 SANDAL EMPEROR (BG250) M Clarke -- Trailed the field to straight with some late progress under pressure.
8 13 GO GO (BK059) F Coetzee -- Quite well there and 5th into straight. One-paced.
9 10 PATU (BK123) K H Ting -- Rear early. Improved to midfield home bend and swung wide into straight. One-paced.
10 9 HAPPY GO LUCKY (BJ150) E Saint-Martin -- Close up until fading steadily in straight.
11 1 LIONHEART (BJ167) S M Tam -- Midfield. Improved to some 2L off pace entering straight but soon weakened.
12 2 SHAKA ZULU (BH248) W H Tse -- Never better than midfield. Faded in straight.
13 11 SIR MICHAEL (BL051) E Legrix -- Never a factor.
14 5 FAIRY FUN (BL193) D Gauci -- Midfield to 600 M and dropped to last into straight.
