1 6 MY MEMORY (CK173) Y T Cheng -- Always in the front rank, emerged as the clear leader passing 800 M, all out inside 300 M and battled on gamely to hold off the challenge from the persistent runner up. (Lame right fore leg.)
2 4 HUSSLER (CJ323) D Whyte B Went forward, ridden along but unable to cross, forced 3-wide on turning, responded well to pressure and was closing all the way to the line. Narrowly beaten.
3 14 HAPPY ELITE (CD306) M W Leung B-/XB-/TT Away well enough, took up a rail position ahead of midfield but ran a shade keen, raced tight from 600 M to 300 M and unable to improve, had every chance thereafter but unable to find a change of pace to wear down the pair in front.
4 10 BLESS US ALL (CK086) B Doyle XB In a position slightly behind midfield, showed signs of greenness throughout the race, picked up well from 300 M but couldn't trouble the first three.
5 7 SABINA (CK169) M Nunes -- Quickly crossed to the rail from a wide barrier, settled in midfield going well enough, edged to the outside approaching home straight, ran on OK despite hanging in over the final 200 M.
6 5 MATSUKAZE (CK150) J Winks H-/B1 Average start only but soon crept up to assume a better than midfield position, held every chance in straight but was one-paced in his finish.
7 13 COVER BOY (CK021) T H So SR/TT1 Lost position when crowded for room after start, eased to the rear and trailed 10Ls in early stages, moved closer passing 600 M but still well back off the bend, finished the race fastest and made up plenty of ground from 350 M.
8 11 KEEP GOING (CJ244) H W Lai SR Hard pressed forward from the beginning, raced keenly just off the leaders, looked a serious challenger early in straight but weakened rapidly passing 200 M.
9 2 GRANDFIELD (CJ250) C K Tong -- 4Ls back in midfield in early stages, shuffled back on turning, took some time to get going after straightening, made a little ground late on but no threat overall.
10 9 XAVERIAN QUEST (CJ345) M Du Plessis -- Quickly away from the inside barrier, took them along before sitting back in 3rd passing 800 M, raced a shade green throughout, couldn't quicken up in straight and faded gradually from 300 M.
11 1 BERNINI (CJ168) P H Lo -- Urged along in early stages but failed to muster speed, improved around the outside of the field making the turn, couldn't sustain effort in straight, weakened from 300 M.
12 8 SO PRETTY SO SMART (CK063) C W Wong -- Began awkwardly and lost ground, lacked pace and always in the rear trailing over 10Ls, never a factor.
13 12 TERTIARY CHAMPION (CJ007) K L Chui B Hard ridden out of the gate, couldn't quite muster and raced in mid-division 5Ls back, found nothing under pressure before dropping away passing 200 M. (Bled and subsequently retired.)
14 3 HEAVENLY POWERS (CK141) Z Purton -- In a rearward position throughout, checked near 700 M, out of contention thereafter.
