1 11 TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) M Du Plessis B/TT Settled in 4th position, 1 off with cover. Lifted well in the final stages to finish over the top of its rivals.
2 8 DIAGHILEV (CH241) E Saint-Martin B/TT Couldn't match the early speed and settled behind midfield on the rails. Struck traffic problems in the straight and was obliged to alter course on a couple of occasions, went to the wire strongly.
3 7 NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) D Whyte TT From a wide barrier took up a midfield position on the fence. Ran on well and looked the likely winner only to be collared close to the line.
4 9 PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) C W Wong TT Stalked the leader along the fence. Hit the lead early in the straight and had every chance tiring on its run short of the post.
5 3 HEADINGLEY (CH264) K T Yeung B/TT Raced behind midfield, 2-wide with cover. Peeled out turning for home and ran on smartly over the latter stages.

8 14 MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) M W Leung B Raced in midfield the fence. Ranged up to challenge early in the straight but failed to sustain effort late.
9 4 SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) O Doleuze H/TT Travelled in 2nd last position some distance off the leaders made fair ground out wide in the straight before peaking on its run short of the line.
10 6 ABLE STANDARD (CG043) C K Tong B/TT Parked outside the leader, was a beaten horse turning inside the furlong.
11 2 TELEWIN (CJ010) P H Lo XB/TT Raced in last position, shifted out wide in the straight but made no impression.
