1 3 FIVE CLUBS (CL317) K C Leung -- Tracked leaders, finished best of all going into final 200M, got up near 50M and prevailed in a blanket finish.
2 6 VINTAGE HUSSLER (CL266) M L Yeung B Sat prominently just off the pace, put in a strong bid final 250M and looked one of the possible winners, all out final stages and was just denied in a blanket finish.
3 1 SPACE RACE (CM222) G Mosse TT Within striking distance, strongly challenged final 300M and pushed first two all the way to the line.
4 14 CASTLE HERO (CM257) M Barzalona H/TT Handily placed just off the pace, responded well under a vigorous ride passing halfway, led inside 300M, kept on to line only caught by pursuers final stages.
5 10 SUPREME JEWELLERY (CM296) D Whyte B Shared the lead, lost lead 300M out but kept grinding away between horses. Not beaten far.
6 5 RED LUCKY STAR (CM074) Z Purton CP-/B1 Travelled strongly behind midfield, held up for clear running inside 350M, attempted a run down the stands' rail 150M out but was unsuccessful, would have been closer. (Protest against the 4th overruled.)
7 11 SUPREME TAIJI (CL065) M Chadwick B Slow to begin, soon recovered to track leaders, didn't have the clearest runs in the crucial stages of the race when tightened for room 250-100M, kept on well to the line and could have been closer.
8 13 ALWAYS WELL (CM112) G Cheyne B- Slow to begin, settled near last, made some headway from 350M but never got to the leaders.
9 2 XI YING MEN (CL352) Y T Cheng B Went forward sharing the lead and maintained a steady pace, weakened inside 200M, steadied nearing 100M and out of contention.
10 12 THE PRINCE (CL241) M Du Plessis B/TT In mid-division, kept on same pace under pressure, never a threat to leaders.
11 9 SMART KIDS (CL253) K C Ng TT Raced towards the rear after an awkward start, unable to obtain a clear run when placed close to the heels of a rival passing 400M, ran into trouble late stages and was severely checked.
12 8 POLYMER WIN (CM399) H W Lai B1 Lacked pace, raced in the rear, pushed along in the middle stages to stay in touch, kept on same pace final 400M.
13 7 HANNIBAL BARCA (CM367) N Callan -- In midfield, pushed along 400M out, outpaced and weakened passing 200M.
14 4 DANE PATROL (CL078) O Doleuze B-/TT Close up behind leaders along the stands' rail, not quickened when driven out halfway, eased when met with interferences approaching and passing 200M.
