1 | 12 | PLAN B (CJ123) | B Prebble | TT | Began fairly. Travelled not far off the speed in 4th or 5th. Commenced good move turning for home to hit front over 200 M out. Responded well to draw clear for a convincing victory. |
2 | 8 | EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) | Z Purton | B | Began fairly. Travelled mainly in midfield. Similar turning in. Fought on gamely under pressure to grab 2nd late. |
3 | 9 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Began with others from the widest barrier. Soon taken back to race behind midfield with cover. Remained in last few to home turn. Ran on well down centre of straight to be nearest at finish. (Tactic questioned.) |
4 | 3 | WIN AGAIN (CD371) | G Mosse | B/SR | Broke well but quite slow to muster. Travelled just better than midfield and under urge at times. Gained 4th on rails some 2Ls back on straightening but could only keep on at the same pace. |
5 | 13 | NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) | M Du Plessis | -- | Soon took up running. Held slender advantage before headed coming out of far side. Re-gained lead turning for home but not for long when swamped over 200 M out. |
6 | 2 | LEGEND OF COLOUR (CK003) | D Whyte | B | Slightly slow out. Gradually picked up through the field before checked coming out of back straight in midfield. Back in last few straightening and checked again 350 M out before producing good impression late. |
7 | 4 | DREAM TEAM (CK076) | K L Chui | TT1 | Settled on rails in midfield. Lost position coming out of back straight. Still in worse than midfield turning in. Only produced moderate impression in straight without threatening. |

9 | 1 | BUTTERFIELD (CG178) | K C Leung | B | Never better than midfield. Gradually shuffled back to last position before home bend. Remained same turning into straight. Only ran past well-beaten horses. |
10 | 6 | GOOD DISHES (CJ224) | Y T Cheng | -- | Began moderately. Raced wide in midfield down far side and around home bend. Briefly baulked upon straightening but made no show in straight. (Abnormal breathing noise.) (Roarer.) |
11 | 11 | HAPPY AMBASSADOR (CH286) | H W Lai | B | Broke well and soon niggled at. However, settled wide in midfield to straight. Ran home one-paced. |
12 | 7 | ROYAL PUMPKIN (CJ341) | O Doleuze | TT1 | Sluggish at start, losing a few lengths. Soon picked up to join rear of field on rails. Similar turning in but had nothing to give in straight. |
13 | 10 | FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) | F Coetzee | B | Raced wide with leaders early after beginning from wide draw. Failed to obtain cover and remained wide in prominent position before fading out of contention into straight. |
