1 8 MY HOME TOWN (CH331) Z Purton -- Had the help of the inside draw and travelled handily near the speed in 4th, switched out approaching home straight and came with a strong challenge, took it up 150 M from home and won decisively.
2 11 NOBLE MAN (CC099) W M Lai -- Given a patient ride in the rear, checked near 600 M and lost 1L, had enormous task in hand, finished with his usual good late effort but the winner had kicked clear.
3 5 DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) K C Leung -- Slotted into a 2-wide position in midfield, into clear 300 M and did his best work inside 200 M after taking some time to get going.
4 7 MI REILLY (CJ199) D Whyte -- Jumped well, over-raced and vied for the early lead before taken back approaching 700 M, prominently placed in 2nd turning in, briefly hit front 200 M but had no answer to the winner's acceleration, flattened inside 50 M.
5 10 CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) Y T Cheng -- Slow to begin, obtained a run along the fence in mid-division, finished ok down the inside but couldn't trouble the principals.
6 9 DIAMOND BRILLIANCE (CH002) C K Tong TT Rushed forward from the outside barrier, took it up near 800 M under a solid tempo, headed 200 M out and gradually fizzed out from that point.
7 6 KING ENCOSTA (CG247) B Doyle B/TT Eased to a position behind midfield, shuffled further back down the back straight and had 5Ls to make up 400 M out, checked at a vital moment approaching 200 M, finished off the race fairly.
8 4 CANNONISE (CD377) K T Yeung B/TT Went forward as expected, led until 800 M, under pressure to keep up approaching home straight, battled on but finally gave out inside 150 M.
9 12 STREET CAT (CK037) J Lloyd TT Drifted back to a rearward position 5-6Ls behind leaders, raced wide throughout and covered extra ground on the turns, came widest in straight but never managed to get involved.
10 3 HIGH POINT (CH215) J Winks -- Slow to begin, crossed to a rearward position on the fence, had 5Ls to make up 400 M out, attempted a run down the inside but was held up over the final 150 M. Not properly tested.
11 2 BEAR MACHO (CG152) B Prebble -- Away well enough, sat behind the fast leading trio in early stages, unbalanced on the turn near 600 M and lost some momentum, couldn't find his stride turning in and was eased down.
