1 | 10 | GALLANT HORSE (CA128) | C Williams | -- | Settled 3Ls off pace in midfield with cover. Switched out into clear 300 M out, kicked well clear passing 200 M to score impressively. |
2 | 8 | MEDIC CORPS (CB200) | F Coetzee | -- | From difficult gate steadily dropped to rear travelling 4 or 5 wide. 2nd last 8Ls down into straight, made steady ground from 300 M to claim a distant 2nd closing stages. |
3 | 1 | COURAGE STAR (BT054) | K K Lai | TT | Began awkwardly and lost a lot of ground, recovered to be 6Ls off lead towards rear 2-wide 1200 M out. Steady headway from 300 M before finding no more concluding stages. |
4 | 12 | ZINEDINE (BT242) | Y T Cheng | B | Midfield on fence early then steadily dropped towards rear 1100 M out. Crept closer rounding home bend, brushed rail near 500 M, stayed on fairly having to steady and shift out after the 200 M. |
5 | 9 | FRAT RAT (CA038) | G Mosse | -- | Wide behind front runners early, then eased to midfield 3-wide 1200 M out. Under pressure 450 M out, minimal headway close home. |
6 | 14 | THE GRAND ROOF (CB083) | H K Yim | -- | Pressed on along fence to make running, never more than 1L clear. Headed near 300 M. Kept on and looked like hanging on for a minor placing until swamped closing stages. |
7 | 7 | MANY HAPPY RETURNS (BP126) | S K Sit | -- | Ridden but outpaced at rear. On rail 6Ls down entering straight, shifted out towards centre of track and made up some ground until no extra concluding stages. |
8 | 11 | HAPPY CHAMP (BS226) | W M Lai | B | Handy 4th on rail, became 3rd 600 M out, kept on same pace under pressure in home straight, no extra close home. |
9 | 4 | VICTORY MASTER (CA223) | D Dunn | B/TT | Quickest away, brief lead out wide before shifting across to track leader 2-wide 1000 M out. Hit front momentarily near 300 M but quickly passed by winner, run ended from 200 M and dropped away. |
10 | 5 | MY FAVOURITE (CA125) | S Dye | -- | Held up at tail from widest draw, never less than 4-wide. Switched widest on straightening, made up some ground from 300 M, one paced final bit. (Bled and lame.) |
11 | 3 | DANDY BUNNY (BV328) | M Cahill | -- | Driven but failed to muster early pace, 3-wide 5Ls off pace towards rear, not come on in home stretch. |
12 | 13 | HIN YUEN'S UNICORN (BS319) | K H Ting | -- | Pushed forward to secure position behind leaders. Commenced to struggle after straightening, soon dropped away steadily. |
13 | 6 | KONRAD THE GREAT (CB059) | W C Marwing | B | Settled 2-wide 2 1/2Ls off pace better than midfield. 3-wide into straight, unable to keep up, dropped out quickly from 250 M. |
14 | 2 | JOINT PEACE (BV186) | E Legrix | -- | Jumped awkwardly, a bit keen travelling 4-wide without cover towards rear. Made no impression in home straight. |
