2 12 TOUCH LUCKY (CH193) M Du Plessis B/XB/TT2 Landed midfield the fence. Rolled out in the straight and let down strongly to be beaten by a narrow margin.
3 8 EASY WIN (CJ288) Y T Cheng -- Ridden along early to cross from a wide gate and lead along the rails. Challenged early in the straight but fought strongly to stay in touch with the principles.
4 7 CHIEF WITNESS (CJ219) F Coetzee TT Settled midfield 2-wide with cover. Was checked off heels near the 600 M, however recovered well and finished off nicely. (See Racing Incidents.)
5 10 EASTERN FIREBALL (CJ108) G Mosse -- For the major part of the race travelled wide and without cover in midfield, making the home turn was carried wide, kicked strongly in the straight for a solid performance.
6 6 GALLANT HUSSAR (CJ017) E Saint-Martin B1 Was crowded soon after the start, losing its position and travelling in last spot. Closed off strongly from impossible spot.
7 5 VIENTO (CH181) D Whyte -- Travelled with the back markers, 2 to 3-wide with cover. Failed to make any impression in the run to the wire.
8 9 KIMBERLEY (CJ295) H W Lai -- Slow to begin and settled in 3rd last position on the fence. Commenced to peel out after the 500 M and in the straight made fair ground.
9 1 WHATAFANTASY (CH267) O Doleuze B/TT From a wide gate was ridden along early and crossed to camp behind the leader after the 900 M. Failed to quicken early in the straight, had no excuses.
10 3 DIDI (CJ057) C W Wong CP Hung in during the early stages, however enjoyed the run of the race behind the speed along the fence. Had every chance.
11 13 OPTIC KING (CE139) K L Chui SR/CP Began well but didn't muster a great deal of speed thereafter and travelled behind midfield, 2 deep with cover. Never likely.
12 14 SIMPLY JOY (CH052) M L Yeung B-/H- From a wide gate was steadied early and settled 3rd last, 1 off with cover. Never really in the hunt, failing to make up any appreciable ground in the run home.

14 11 MIGHTY MAN (CJ091) C K Tong B1/TT1 Took up 2nd last position and failed to pass another runner for the duration of the trip.
