1 3 FAT CHOY FOREVER (CD111) C W Wong -- Hard ridden to take the rail and lead by 2Ls, clocked disadvantageous fast early sectionals without any other pressure, never had challenger and scored a stylish victory.
2 1 SUMMERVILLE POWER (CD398) K T Yeung CP Pushed to secure the box seat from the rail-draw, not suited by the fast early tempo, finished the race off strongly in straight and ran 2nd.
3 4 WADADELIGHT (CC340) O Doleuze B Eased at start to get across closer to the rail behind the field, then hard ridden to regain a midfield spot, 3-1/2Ls off the leader, benefited by the fast pace, ran on well to the line to secure placing.
4 12 THREE CLUBS (CG149) D Beadman -- Eased to sit in midfield, 6Ls off the leader along the fence, helped by the fast pace, progressed steadily 600 M, but made no more ground in last quarter.
5 9 MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) D Whyte PC/TT Eased at start to cross to the rails at rear, 9Ls behind the leader, favoured by the fast pace, made some ground 400 M without threatening placegetters.
6 11 KING HESPERUS (CE151) M Nunes B/TT Pushed to obtain a position better than midfield, 4Ls off the leader 2-wide, benefited by the fast pace, however soon emptied 500 M.
7 2 LIAOBUQI (CE018) C K Tong PC1/H/TT Hard ridden early but failed to muster speed, only be able to take a midfield spot, 6Ls off the leader 2 to 3-wide, helped by the fast tempo, but made no ground in straight.

10 6 COURAGEOUSHEART (CD202) E Saint-Martin B/TT At rear, never travelled on the bridle, was carried out to 7-wide at 1st bend and on straightening, lost too much ground, never a factor.
