1 3 EYSHAL (CJ099) D Beadman B/TT Standard jump, rolled forward to settle permanently behind leader, close enough on turning, found his stride in the straight and had a dream run down the inside, took charge last 50 M.
2 9 JAMESINA (CH290) W M Lai CP/TT Even break, travelled behind midfield 6Ls off the leader, raced keenly down the backstraight, went forward 700 M out to lead approaching home turn, kept on well in straight, headed but rallied back to take 2nd on the line.
3 1 NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) B Prebble P- Began with rest, assumed a position better than midfield, never far off from leader, brought with a challenge 400 M out, hit front inside 200 M but weakened over the concluding stages.
4 2 EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) C K Tong TT Quickly into stride, travelled in midfield along the fence 3-4Ls back, taken to outside rounding home turn, took time to gather speed in straight and did his best work towards the finish.
5 5 OPERATION SECRET (CH081) Y T Cheng -- Bounced out, restrained to settle in mid-division 4-5Ls behind leader, shuffled back on home turn, picked up well in straight and closed off the race strongly to be nearest on the line.
6 6 FAT DRAGON (CD130) E Saint-Martin -- Unable to slot in from the outside barrier and was forced wide on the first turn, moved up to 2nd entering back straight, kept on well on straightening, effort just flattened out near the finish.
7 8 WEI HAI INVINCIBLE (CH258) K L Chui CP/TT Showed customary speed to take charge early, led field at a steady tempo until taken over near 500 M, came with a challenge 350 M out, found himself readily outpaced inside 150 M, weakened towards the line.
8 7 TOP HONOR (CE183) G Mosse -- Well enough away, taken a spot on the fence in midfield, used little in running, 5Ls down coming off the bend, didn't pick up and was one-paced in the finish.
9 12 DASH AHEAD (CD199) P H Lo SR Taken back on jumping and assumed an usual spot towards the rear, had a relaxed trip throughout, asked for an effort inside 500 M, made some progress down the outside without threatening.
10 11 POWER DRIFTER (CJ332) K T Yeung B/TT Quickly away, settled in a handy position along the fence behind leader, struggled as they made the home turn, found nothing under pressure and was well beaten.
11 10 FLYING TAMARI (CG151) M L Yeung -- Missed the jump and lost many lengths, raced in the rear trailing 10Ls to leader, remained there to turn, unable to quicken on straightening and finished tailed off.
