1 3 JUMBO TREASURE (K249) K C Leung CP/TT Chased leaders along the fence, within striking distance turning home, responded well and dug deep final 200M to overhaul the long-time leader near line.
2 11 HONEST WITNESS (K283) Z Purton B/TT Soon led, pressed by rival in middle stages, quickened to a clear lead early straight, kept on well just only to be caught near line.
3 2 YOUNG EMPEROR (K011) L Ferraris TT Settled ahead of midfield, 4Ls behind leader 400M, closed off well under pressure for equal 3rd. Nearest finish.

5 1 SYMBOL OF STRENGTH (K352) B Avdulla -- Guided to race along the fence in midfield, in a similar spot turning home, finished off moderately under a big weight but couldn't be ridden out when racing tight over the concluding stages.
6 5 DARYL FLASH (L168) C L Chau B2 Unable to slot in from wide draw, caught wide in midfield and left without cover from 600M, ran home well enough final 300M to be beaten 1.5L at the finish.

10 4 AMAZING KID (K434) H Bowman -- Began well, dropped back to a midfield position on settling, ran on fairly passing 400M, not ridden out late stages when awkward placed behind rivals. (Bled.)
11 9 ACE CHAMPION (K379) C Y Ho CP1/TT Bumped at the start, held up towards the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, had some work to do 400M, responded well when asked but was denied clear running from 100M to the finish. Inconclusive run.
