1 9 HELENE WISDOM STAR (D460) N Callan H/TT Chased leaders early stages, wide no cover form 950M, moved up to take lead 700M, hard driven in the straight to hold off the persistent 2nd. (Protest from 2nd for interference near 550M overruled.)
2 8 TELECOM FIGHTERS (D482) T Piccone -- Crossed to the lead soon after the start, led until 700M, hampered 550M, driven and fought on well in the straight, pushed winner to the line (Protest on winner for interference near 550M overruled.)
3 11 HALL OF CHAMP (D169) K C Leung TT Reserved behind mid-division along the 3-path, closed off fastest last 400M, just missed.
4 10 GIFT OF LIFELINE (C172) K Teetan B Held up in mid-division, ran on steadily from 300M but couldn't get on terms with first 3.
5 7 MAGNIFICENT (C121) H T Mo -- Tracked the pace, kept on well to press first 2 on straightening, no extra final 50M.
6 1 FLAGSHIP GLORY (E190) C Y Ho TT From draw 11 caught 3-wide in midfield throughout the race, driven out 350M, kept on moderately to the line, not reached leaders.
7 12 KASI FARASI (B385) C Wong -- In touch behind leading trio, had every chance turning home, lacked extra final 200M and always held by rivals.
8 2 BEAUTY FIT (E279) J Moreira E Began very awkwardly and lost ground, settled towards the rear, found disappointing little when asked on straightening, made no real progress on leaders.
9 5 HOLY HEART (C443) H Bentley PC/TT Held up behind mid-division, 6Ls to make up turning home, stayed on without threat.
10 4 LAKESHORE EAGLE (B391) C L Chau V/XB Lost ground when crowded for room on jumping, settled at the rear, ran past beaten horses in the straight, never a threat to main rivals.
11 6 LOBO'S LEGEND (C299) V Borges -- Settled midfield early and middle stages, came under pressure when pace quickened up 700M, soon beaten turning into straight.
12 3 GREEN LASER (E409) A Hamelin -- Held up near last, driven along from 600M but failed to muster the speed. Never in the picture.
