1 10 MOUNT SURPLUS (CH122) H W Lai -- Tracked leader in a prominent position on the rail, going strongly and ready to strike turning in, picked up well producing a late burst inside 100 M to wear down the race leader.
2 6 PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) C W Wong -- Quickly into stride, had an uncontested lead at a decent tempo, kept on strongly in straight and battled on when the eventual winner loomed up near 100 M, headed close home.
3 11 FAST WINNER (CG140) M Du Plessis -- Away with them, settled in mid-division 3Ls behind leader, ran on well to take 3rd despite hanging in under pressure in straight.
4 5 NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) Z Purton XB/TT Had a smooth run in midfield along the fence, stayed on OK when pressed but could not quite get on terms with the first two.
5 1 SINGLE MALT (CK110) M Chadwick B1/TT Showed some early speed but not able to cross from the unfavourable outside draw, in the front rank making the turn but was 3-wide, kept on inside final 300 M without threatening.
6 12 ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) W M Lai V Slow into stride, failed to muster speed despite urging, trailed in the rear 6Ls off the pace, stayed on well in straight making headway inside final 300 M but was left too much to do.
7 7 TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) K L Chui B/TT Taken back from the wide gate, raced towards the rear about 5Ls back as they turned, shifted wide to challenge in straight but found nothing for pressure inside 300 M.
8 8 ALIVE AND KICKING (CJ071) W C Marwing B Average beginning, never far off the pace in midfield but offered little response when the race got serious inside 350 M. No impression.
9 2 FLYING KENNY (CC244) M W Leung V Even break, lacked early speed and settled in a rearward position along the rails, ran disappointingly on straightening. (Retired subsequently.)
10 3 HOT SUN (CJ005) K C Leung -- Dropped back in trip. Used up early to obtain a forward position, travelled one out one back turning in but was soon beaten passing 250 M. (Jockey questioned.)
11 9 MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) D Whyte B/SR/TT1 Allowed to drift back on jumping, 3-wide turning in and had plenty to do passing 400 M, never picked up in straight and was eased close home. (Jockey questioned / sore next day.)
12 4 SPY KING (CE205) P H Lo V/XB/TT Broke well but not fast enough to find the lead, drifted back to a 3-wide spot in mid-division, gradually outpaced from 400 M and found nothing in the finish.
