1 | 12 | NEW LEADER (CK242) | D Whyte | B | Raced midfield, 1 off with cover. Rallied well after being tightened for room at the 500m. Secured clear running after the 300m and ran on strongly. |
2 | 9 | HIGH LUCK (CK134) | D Beadman | XB | Raced behind midfield 1 off with cover. Peeled out rounding the home turn and early in the straight, swept to the lead at the furlong but was nailed late. |
3 | 7 | VIVA FREEDOM (M037) | H W Lai | -- | Settled 3 back the fence. Raced tight rounding the home bend and closed off steadily near the inside after striking some traffic early in the straight. |
4 | 3 | NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) | Z Purton | B/SR | Camped 1 out 1 back. Hit the front at the 300m, but was overhauled approaching the final furlong, kept on to finish in the frame. |
5 | 1 | FOREST STAR (CJ167) | M Chadwick | TT | Made its run from back in the field, 2-3 wide with cover. Ran on nicely after being squeezed for room early in the straight. |
6 | 5 | CLEMENT SPIRIT (CL346) | J Lloyd | -- | From a wide alley was taken back to the tail of the field, 3 deep with cover. Was carried 4 wide without cover after the 700m. Rallied widest on the home turn, worked home soundly. |
7 | 13 | TRAVEL PRINCE (CL243) | M L Yeung | B | Handed up the lead after the 800m and box seated thereafter. Didn’t find any extra at the business end of the race. |

10 | 8 | BRIGHT SPIRITS (M007) | N Callan | CP1/XB1/H/TT | Raced behind midfield, 3 wide with cover. Failed to make any impression in the straight. |
11 | 2 | GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) | Y T Cheng | B | For the majority of the race, traavelled 3 wide without cover behind the speed. Never likely. |
12 | 6 | DR BULLION (M016) | K C Leung | -- | Settled in 2nd position outside the eventual leader. Found little when asked for an effort in the final stretch. |
13 | 11 | AMAZING AWARD (CL232) | M Guyon | TT | Settled worse than midfield along the paint. Struggled in the home straight. |
14 | 4 | BEST SCORER (M142) | C K Tong | -- | Worked forward from the outside gate to cross and lead along the fence after the 800m. Faded in the run home. |
