1 | 1 | MERIDIAN STAR (BV177) | B Marcus | -- | Settled in midfield. Commenced move on outside rounding home bend. Quickened to gain narrow advantage inside final 200 M and fought on gamely to just defy runner-up's strong late challenge. (Promoted.) |
2 | 7 | MILLENNIUM SUPREME (BV228) | F Coetzee | TT | Always there. Quickened to tackle leaders upon straightening holding every chance the length of straight but just denied by the narrowest margin. |
3 | 3 | KOH-I-NOOR (BS043) | A Munro | -- | Well there, joining leaders into straight. Fought on well but unable to match the late burst of speed of first two. |
4 | 5 | BRILLIANT LAD (BV097) | W C Marwing | TT | Held up in 3rd or 4th position and never far off, holding some chance early in straight, but failed to quicken to threaten. |
5 | 10 | KOWLOON'S BLESSING (BT066) | E Legrix | -- | Settled in rear of midfield. Made up some late ground inside final 200 M. |
6 | 4 | LUCKY SABRE (BV122) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Began slowly then remained in rear. Took closer order around home bend and kept on strongly from midfield into straight. Never nearer. |
7 | 8 | RETURN A SMILE (BT112) | R Fradd | -- | Midfield throughout. One-paced in straight. |
8 | 11 | HARMONY PRINCE (BS092) | S Baster | -- | Well back to straight. Kept on same pace. Never nearer. |
9 | 2 | SEVEN GLORY (BM168) | D Whyte | B | Rear and wide into straight. Made moderate progress past beaten horses down centre of track. |
9 | 9 | SHEER MADNESS (BP251) | B Doyle | B | Never better than midfield. Wide turning in. Found nothing. |
11 | 13 | SPARTAN (BN118) | C T Cheng | B | Midfield far side. Dropped towards rear around home bend. Last into straight. Made no further impression. |
12 | 6 | EUGENIUS (BV133) | K S Yu | -- | Took lead from wide draw crossing to rails gradually. Headed shortly after straightening and dropped out. |
