1 5 MASTER RIO (CK188) Z Purton -- Settled prominently just off the pace, had 2Ls to make up on the leader on straightening, stuck to task well and came strong inside final 200 M to get on top with 50 M to go.
2 3 COOL CAT (CH330) K C Leung B Up with the early pace and emerged as the race leader passing 900 M, built up a 2Ls gap on straightening, kept on well but was unable to fend off the persistent runner-up inside final 50 M.
3 7 FOREST STAR (CJ167) D Beadman TT Well enough away, eased back to a position towards the rear 5Ls off the pace, handled the soft going well and made good headway inside 300 M to be nearest at the finish.
4 8 STAR LEGEND (CJ233) B Prebble -- Taken back to last, 7Ls back to leader on the fence, angled out 350 M and produced some late impression from a fair way back.
5 4 BELIEVE IN CHANGE (CK170) D Whyte -- Settled in midfield 4Ls back, urged along passing 500 M, plugged on inside 200 M without quite getting involved.
6 6 WINNING SCHOLAR (CJ273) C K Tong -- Rolled forward along the rails and was placed handily behind leader, rallied well in straight despite not able to trouble the winner. Made a respectable debut considering the ground conditions.
7 11 HAPPY ELITE (CD306) J Lloyd TT On the fence in 5th, had a smooth trip throughout, went in pursuit of the leaders soon on straightening but couldn't find a change in gear and kept on one-paced.
8 2 GALACTIC TACTIC (CH095) Y T Cheng -- Standard jump, urged along to hold a 3-wide position just ahead of midfield, had his chance but couldn't quite get into it on this testing ground, weakened inside 200 M.
9 10 STAY YOUNG (CD109) W M Lai -- Didn't muster early pace and settled in a position towards the rear, under serious pressure from 500 M, didn't pick up from off the pace and never threatened to play a part in the finish.
10 12 DAILY DOUBLE (CK043) M W Leung SR Broke well but drifted back to a rearward position 7Ls back, taken wide to challenge on straightening but showed little dash and never looked like getting involved.
11 9 EAST RIDER (CK283) J Winks TT1 Slow into stride, settled behind midfield 5 to 6Ls back, appeared to struggle from the halfway point, dropped away under pressure inside 400 M.
12 1 CRYSTAL (CE209) T H So B Unable to slot in from a wide barrier and was caught wide without cover in midfield throughout, struggled from 400 M and didn't seem to act on this testing ground.
