1 4 CHINA LUJIA (CJ088) D Whyte B/XB Away well, handily placed on the fence no worse than 3rd or 4th, picked up well enough to lead 200 M out, pushed out to score narrowly.
2 2 SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) G Mosse B 5Ls back on rails in 6th at 1100 M, 3Ls down into straight, darted inside to challenge 200 M out, ran on well but couldn't quite grab the winner.
3 10 KEEN SPIRIT (CJ022) M Du Plessis TT 2Ls back in 2nd on fence at 1100 M, pressed on to lead at top of home straight, headed by the winner at 200 M, tired late and just held onto a place.
4 8 AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) K T Yeung B 2-wide and 3Ls down in 3rd at 1100 M, just 2Ls behind off final turn, outpaced by the winner thereafter, also had his chance to place.
5 11 BRAVO HORSE (CH312) S K Sit B/SR Pressed on out wide to lead by 2Ls on fence at 1100 M, set a steady pace before being headed at top of home straight, one-paced late on.
6 3 HOLIGAN (CH003) D Beadman B Waited with, 8Ls behind pace in 12th at 1000 M, not in any way assisted by the slow tempo, made some late ground through beaten rivals in the straight.
7 13 DECENT FELLOW (CH021) C K Tong B-/V1/TT Slow to muster early pace, 7Ls adrift in 9th at 1000 M, harmed by slow pace, never likely to get any closer than midfield.
8 5 CASH MONEY (CH030) K L Chui -- 3-wide no cover throughout, 5Ls back in 7th at 1000 M and much the same turning in, always well held.
9 12 SUPER IDEAL (CC223) F Coetzee TT Slowly away, 3-wide with cover when 6Ls back in 8th at 1000 M, a little closer turning in and at the 200 M, very one-paced in the end.
10 14 SUPER (CD036) Y T Cheng SR/XB Over-raced early, 7Ls behind speed in 10th at 1000 M, tight for room off final bend, couldn't edge across to stands' rail as usual but well held anyway.
11 1 DON RICARDO (CE262) H W Lai -- Unbalanced very early on and 10Ls last at 1100 M, not at all helped by slow pace and never in the hunt.
12 9 CLASSIC KING (CD256) W M Lai B/TT Keen early on, posted out 4-wide no cover for most of backstretch, worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the speed throughout.
13 6 KING OF TURF (CJ102) G Boss B-/TT Not remotely competitive, always one from rear and at least 7Ls from the pace.
14 7 NAMJONG GOODLUCK (CE267) M W Leung B 2-wide and 5Ls off pace in 5th at 1100 M, 3Ls back in 6th off final turn, found zero under pressure and eased late, very tame finish.
