1 6 QI'S PET (CD321) E Saint-Martin B Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1200 M to home straight, led at 200 M, driven clear.
2 11 SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) P H Lo TT 3-back the fence in midfield about 4Ls off the pace until home turn, no great acceleration when 2Ls back in 4th at 200 M, stayed on fairly for the quinella.
3 1 CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) K L Chui B Slow to begin and soon last about 8Ls behind, still 6Ls last on straightening for home out very wide (6-wide), ran on quite well down the centre of the track for a place.
4 5 CAPABILITY (CE094) D Whyte B/TT Slow start, one from rear about 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, some headway but caught 5-wide turning for home, definite place prospects when 2Ls down in 5th but one-paced thereafter.
5 4 ALWAYS HAPPY (CE085) Y T Cheng B/TT On a fence a neck back in 2nd at 1200 M, moved to the front 600 M out but headed by winner at the 200 M and weakened out of a place.
6 9 COME HO CHOI (CE082) M Nunes B 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls off pace until home turn, offered nothing akin to a turn of foot.
7 12 WINWIN COMBO (CB277) W M Lai -- Worse than midfield 4-back the fence at least 5Ls behind until home turn, never likely to improve his position too much.
8 3 DANRIVA (CA040) S K Sit -- In 10th with cover about 6Ls off pace at 1200 M, marginally closer when checked turning for home, disappointed for room at 200 M when seemingly outpaced and 6Ls back in rear, no impression.
9 2 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) C W Wong B 3-wide but with cover in midfield on first bend, always about 4Ls or 5Ls back in 7th or 8th until home turn, plodded on at the one pace.
10 7 NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) C K Tong V Left 3 and 4-wide no cover early so pressed on to dispute the lead at 800 M, a neck down in 2nd turning for home and ridden along, found nothing under pressure.
11 10 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) M W Leung -- Nicely placed 2-wide in 4th or so about 2Ls off pace through first half, driven along when 3Ls off pace in 5th taking home bend, soon petered out.
12 8 TABBRIS (CB088) H W Lai B/TT Couldn't get his preferred way in front and under pressure well before turning for home, dropped right out in the straight, performance deemed unacceptable.
