1 11 CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) A Delpech B Settled towards rear about 6Ls from pace at 1000 M, edged closer turning for home, over 2Ls down in 4th at 200 M, dug in well to lead inside final 50 M.
2 14 BRAVE COMMANDER (CC322) K L Chui TT 3Ls back in 5th when 2-wide at 1000 M, 1L down in 3rd taking home bend, looked the winner forging over 1L clear passing 200 M, one-paced late and caught inside final 50 M.
3 9 CHAMP DRAGON (CB278) C K Tong B 4-wide no cover early, sent on to dispute lead at 900 M out 2-wide, under pressure when 1L down in 2nd at top of homestretch, tired late but did enough to hang on for 3rd.
4 13 LUCKY GUYS (CE016) G Mosse SR Keen at halfway when about 5Ls behind in midfield, kept on at same pace in homestretch. (Bled.)
5 2 HAPPY GO LAGO (CE310) Y T Cheng -- Towards rear early, left 4-wide no cover at 800 M, about 5Ls down in 11th at final bend, plugged on at same pace to line.
6 7 WINNING PATTERN (CG125) R Fradd B- Restrained one from rear about 6Ls from the speed to home turn when 5-wide (widest of all), ran on past a few tired rivals late.
7 1 CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) H W Lai TT Best away and led by 1L on fence at 1000 M, a neck clear off final bend, soon headed and weakened gradually.
8 8 FINANCIAL KID (CE303) D Whyte -- Travelled in midfield with cover and about 4Ls from the front until home turn, sluggish in the finish. (Blood in trachea.)
9 4 GENERAL SPEEDEE (CG193) O Doleuze -- On fence 4Ls behind lead in 7th at 1000 M, 3Ls down in 6th turning for home and with every chance of a place, failed to quicken.
10 10 SPACED (CG034) C W Wong B/TT Ideally placed on fence 2Ls off speed in 3rd or 4th until home straight, petered out feebly despite the soft passage.
11 3 CARE FREE PRINCE (CD333) F Coetzee B A little worse than midfield about 4Ls from the front until home straight, could do no better.
12 6 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) S Dye B Always behind, 7Ls off pace at 800 M, didn't get much closer.
13 12 BUDDIES POWER (CB201) K T Yeung B/TT 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1000 M, hard pressed to maintain this prominent role at final bend, faded out.
14 5 SHERIFF BAMBOO (CC257) K W Tsui -- Lost ground at start, over 4Ls back in midfield at 1000 M, slipped further back turning for home, soon well beaten.
