1 10 ESPRIT D'OR (CD295) D Whyte TT Switched from wide gate to be 8Ls off pace and 2-wide towards rear at 1200 M, improved steadily to be 4Ls back in 5th on straightening, kept on well to lead final strides.
2 13 X-SPEED (CC341) W M Lai B 2-wide and 2Ls behind in 3rd at 1000 M, 1L back in 2nd entering straight, led 300 M out, looked the winner at 200 M, tired and caught final strides.
3 1 FORTUNE DANCER (BS081) O Doleuze PC Slowest away, 10Ls last at 1000 M, 7Ls down in 9th entering straight, kept on fairly to nick a place close home.
4 11 COTTON BALL (CD327) A Delpech -- Awkwardly away, pressed on from wide gate to lead out 2-wide by a neck at 1000 M, never clear by more than 1L, headed at 300 M, one-paced and lost a place close home.
5 14 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) G Schofield B 3Ls off pace on fence in 4th at 1000 M and niggled along, same position and hard ridden turning for home, always outpaced.
6 6 MADE IN HONGKONG (CD139) M Rodd B 2-wide and 6Ls worse than midfield at 1000 M, a little closer at home turn in midfield, never looked likely.
7 8 SYLLABUS (CD388) Y T Cheng B/TT1 Fractious in gates, slow away, 9Ls off pace in 13th at 1000 M, plugged on at the one-paced and never the remotest threat.
8 7 JUST IN TIME (BV215) H W Lai -- Led early on fence, headed at 1000 M, 1L down in 3rd entering straight when under pressure, faded markedly.
9 12 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) E Saint-Martin B/H 7Ls back in 10th with cover at 1000 M, never got much closer.
10 5 GOLDEN MAPLE (CB265) C Williams V Mostly 3-wide no cover, 5Ls off pace in midfield down backstretch, 4-wide on straightening, soon faded.
11 2 VICTORY TREASURE (CE031) R Fradd -- Always at least 4-wide no cover in midfield and 5Ls off pace in midfield, further back and labouring turning for home, no impression.
12 9 TREASURE FIELD (CA236) P H Lo TT 7Ls off pace on fence in 10th at 1000 M, never better than midfield.
13 4 SUPER DANA (CC293) G Mosse B Always under pressure, 5Ls off pace in 6th at 1000 M, struggling to hold this position on circle, gone 300 M out.
14 3 WINNING PARADE (CA283) C W Wong B/TT 2-wide and 4Ls off pace in 5th at 1000 M, struggling to hold this position on circle, very weak thereafter.
