2 1 GOLCONDA (CA111) W C Marwing -- Couldn't lead so settled 2Ls off pace until the 600 M, led at top of home straight, picked off by winner 100 M out but hung on well for 2nd.
3 4 WINNING SMILE (CC177) D Whyte -- 5Ls down in 6th at 1100 M on fence, 2-wide and 3Ls down in 4th taking home turn, over 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, had every chance of running 2nd but tired inside final 100 M.
4 10 TEMMOKU (BV108) S Dye V Awkward break and checked at start, got back 10Ls off speed in 12th at 1000 M, 4-wide on straightening when 6Ls down in 10th, plugged on best of the rest, nearest at finish.

9 3 SUNNY DESERT (CB346) Y T Cheng B/SR 2-wide and 5Ls back in 5th at 1100 M, similarly placed but struggling to lie up turning for home, very weak inside final 200 M.
10 14 FLORAL ARTS (CE197) H W Lai BO-/V1 Mostly 4-wide no cover, 6Ls behind lead in 8th at 1000 M, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home when 8Ls back in rear bunch, no impression.
11 11 AMBITIOUS LEADER (CC082) M W Leung P1/TT Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th early on, about 4Ls back in 4th or 5th from 800 M to home turn, dropped out very tamely.
12 8 DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) S K Sit -- Slow to muster any speed, always at least 10Ls off the pace, didn't figure.
13 9 UPPA HAND (CD221) K T Yeung -- Well placed early 2-wide and 3Ls off speed at 1200 M, over 2Ls down and still in 3rd but hard ridden turning for home, completely folded on the run-in.
