1 7 ALWAYS GIGGLE (CG086) G Mosse B OK to begin, took a trail in midfield close to outside rails, raced 3Ls back with cover, tracked well at 400 M, drove through from 200 M and drew away to score comfortably.
2 1 PLEZAYRE (CG116) K T Yeung XB/TT Fast away, led them up racing hard on outside rail, still 1L clear at 400 M, showed good fight to hold them off until 100 M when overhauled, game in defeat finding winner too good.
3 9 NATIVE KID (CG317) M W Leung XB1/TT- Ordinary jump, ended up at rear 4 to 5Ls back towards outside rail, steadily improved between horses to share lead at 300 M, a little wayward under pressure but stuck on well 3rd.
4 2 THUNDER FLASH (CG270) K L Chui -- Not the best out, regathered to be not far away close to outside rail, travelled well 1L down at 400 M, right there at 200 M but just couldn't match top 3 late.
5 3 PROFITING CHAMPION (CH123) E Saint-Martin -- Began well but proved difficult to settle early. Obtained a trail 1 to 2Ls back behind leader hard against outside rail, had little room when run closed at 200 M and lacked any real chance thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.)
6 6 WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) B Prebble TT Out in line, sat 2 to 3Ls back between middle and outside, travelled reasonably to 300 M but failed to find usual dash and just held ground late. (Jockey reported didn't handle going.)
7 8 GALBRAITH (CG022) D Whyte CP Showed speed from outset and raced 1L off front in middle of track, right there at 300 M but run ended at furlong pole and just lost touch late.
8 5 SHY BALDY (CH168) Y T Cheng -- Awkward jump and didn't show expected speed, settled back with last few 4Ls away, under a hold at midpoint, didn't find enough when let down just holding ground to line.
9 11 DR POSSI (CE288) D Nikolic -- Little pace from beginning, raced at rear 4 to 5Ls back in middle of course, steadily drifted in, lacked a real dash and just plugged away last 200 M.
10 4 BE MY SONG (CH272) C K Tong -- Showed good pace from outset, lead division in middle of course, still there until 400 M, condition gave out and weakened out gradually in run to line.
11 10 LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) H K Yim SR Jumped nicely and settled 1 to 2Ls back towards middle, had a fair trail but began to struggle at 400 M, produced a one paced finish getting further behind over concluding stages.
12 14 SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) W M Lai -- Out well, up close to lead 1L back in middle of course, under pressure from midpoint, didn't find under pressure and dropped out tamely.
13 12 WONDER KID (CH233) H W Lai B1 Slow into stride, raced at rear 5Ls back towards outside rail, always had trouble keeping in touch, weakened noticeably from 400 M to be well beaten.
