1 10 GANBARIA (CE052) M L Yeung B Camped behind the leader on the fence. Switched out on the home turn and accelerated strongly to draw away and win by a handy margin.
2 6 SOU MA TAM (CH253) W C Marwing B Aggressively ridden to take up the lead and was rated nicely in front. Kicked well when challenged near the furlong had every chance.
3 1 DRAGON EYE (CJ127) D Whyte TT Raced three back on the rails. Railed up in the straight and finished off well despite being tight over the final 100 M.
4 12 AURELIAN (CC025) C K Tong B Travelled midfield the fence. Worked home soundly.
5 3 SPEEDY STAR (CJ174) M W Leung -- Was allowed to settle with the rear division along the paint. Ran on strongly over the last 300 M. (See Racing Incidents Report.)
6 9 NAMJONG SKY (CH129) B Prebble TT Positioned close to midfield, 2 deep with cover. Battled on gamely in the run to the post.
7 8 DAILY DOUBLE (CK043) B Doyle SR Raced with the backmakers 2-wide with cover. Made some ground in the straight without threatening.
8 2 KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) W M Lai B Worked forward from the outside gate to land 3 back. Travelled satisfactorily in a 1 off position after the 800 M, however faded over the concluding stages.
9 11 TAKE IT EASY (CJ029) J Victoire -- Began awkwardly, lost ground at the start and as a consequence got well back in the early stages. After this, travelled 3-wide with cover at the rear of the field. Not likely.
