1 | 5 | DASH AHEAD (CD199) | M W Leung | SR | No early pace, settled back with last few 8Ls away, aided by pace in mid-section, near last switching out on turning in, came with huge run down middle to sweep past them at 100 M and win running away. |
2 | 11 | TRIUMPHANT DIAMOND (CG227) | C W Wong | CP | Displayed more pace than usual to settle outside the leader, elected for a trail 2Ls back by mid-point with solid pace, up challenging and took lead on turning, fought strongly but no match for winner. |
3 | 6 | FLORAL NIRVANA (CH232) | B Prebble | TT | Restrained from a wide gate, posted 4-wide without cover in midfield, pressed on to race outside leader, held a narrow margin without crossing to 500 M, fought back strongly when headed to be in mix to 200 M, just held ground late. |
4 | 4 | LHOJONG (CG281) | Y T Cheng | B/SR | Ridden out to take a prominent spot behind leader, suited when pace slackened after early burn, right there on turning but without a run early in straight, closed off reasonably to make frame. |
5 | 9 | MAVERICK (CE199) | M Nunes | TT | Out in line, posted 3-wide without cover, did share of work 3-4Ls back, improved on bend, 4-wide on turning, threatened at 400 M but hard run took toll and just held position last 200 M. |

7 | 8 | LONDON EXPRESS (CH107) | Z Purton | -- | Out in line, assumed a midfield spot 5Ls back, had a fair run in mid-section, progressed to be 2Ls down making a 4-wide run on turning, looked a threat at 400 M but peaked on run last furlong. |
8 | 3 | INDUSTRIAL EXPRESS (CH103) | D Whyte | -- | Allowed to slide back and take a spot behind midfield 6Ls from top end, advantaged by reasonable speed on, tracked 3-wide with cover on bend, looked a strong chance at 400 M but unable to lift and plugged last bit. |
9 | 2 | ROCKET WIN (CE249) | P H Lo | P/XB | Began with rest, took a forward spot on back of pace, raced 2-3Ls back in 2-2ide line, not used througout, improved 3-wide on turn, right there sharing lead at 400 M but flattened at 250 M and dropped out late. |
10 | 1 | NORTHERNER (CD293) | G Mosse | XB | No pace as usal, raced 3-wide behind midfield 6Ls back, aided by tempo, improved 4-wide on circle, 4Ls back turning just plugged away in straight with hands and heels riding. |
11 | 14 | PUERTO RICO (CH147) | M Du Plessis | XB | No early pace, raced back with last few 7Ls back in 2-wide line, helped by tempo, still had job to do on turning, didn't dash in stretch and just closed at same speed. |
12 | 13 | FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) | C K Tong | B | Ordinary getaway, shared rear some 8Ls off pace, suited by pace, still well back on leaving bend, lacked usual turn of foot and only passed tired runners in finish. |
13 | 7 | KINGSGATE GLORY (CH020) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Reasonable jump, drove through to take ideal trailing position 3-4Ls back on fence, not asked in run, same margin down on turning, lacked usual finish last 400 M and just battled away in run to line. |
