1 8 GLORY YEARS (CE023) G Mosse B Settled well back in the run and commenced to gather in the field turning for home. Worked through the field in the straight and found enough to prevail.
2 2 DIAMOND BRILLIANCE (CH002) K L Chui B Parked on the back of the speed, 1 off with cover. Stayed to the inside in the run home and finished off nicely.
3 11 SHY BALDY (CH168) Z Purton TT Ridden along early from a wide gate to cross to the front but was unable to clear one runner to its inside and raced one off in the lead. Kicked clear near the 200 M and stuck to task well in the run to the post.

10 9 DRAGON AND GOLD (CD244) C W Wong -- Throughout the race travelled wide and without cover behind the pace and in the Straight gave ground. (Mucopus.)
11 1 CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) H W Lai -- From gate 1 worked hard from the outset to hold its forward advantage on the rail, maintained an on speed position for most of the trip, punctured after entering the straight.
