1 5 PLENTIFUL (CK319) Z Purton B/TT Dropped back to race behind midfield in running line, 5-6ls back, came 3 wide on circle, made strong bid final 300m and quickly rounded them up, went on to score easily.
2 7 LOMBARDI (CK406) W M Lai B Showed early speed to lead, set reasonable speed in front, challenged turn, kept on but out dashed final 200m when eventual winner shot clear, held on soundly.
3 2 RED DANCER (P264) D Whyte P/TT Slotted into running line, around midfield 5ls back, gradually improved turning, closed evenly final 300m but no match for winner.
4 13 BETTER ANNOUNCE (N254) H W Lai B Held a prominent spot 1 out 1 back, ideal run throughout, right there turning, in clear from 300m but just held position in run to line.
5 3 CHANCELLOR (M347) M L Yeung B/TT Failed to muster early, raced in midfield 4-5ls back on rails, no excuses to turn, stayed on reasonably at same pace in straight.
6 12 SUPER CAGA (CK054) K C Leung B Away well, crossed to race outside leader, fair run with even sections, up challenging turning, run ended final 200m and dropped away.
7 8 HONG KONG DANCER (N399) T H So -- Away evenly, pressed on, unable to slot in and raced 3 wide although had cover, 3ls or so back, close enough turning but had no extra final 300m just staying on at same speed.
8 4 BUDDY BUDDIES (M021) O Doleuze H Drifted back from a wide gate, raced next to last, under pressure early to hold spot 12ls off speed, gradually tacked on, came widest in straight making many lengths to be nearest on line (see racing incidents)
9 9 AMBASSADORSHIP (N217) C Y Lui B No early speed, faded back, to race towards rear 8ls off speed, gradually improved to tack on to main body, made solid progress along rails to be closest at finish.
10 11 FLYING IBIS (P023) K Teetan B/TT No early pace, raced behind midfield on rails6ls back, not asked in mid-section, improved to 400m, in some traffic at 200m but not really going well enough to figure and didn't get closer.
11 10 DEMOKLES (P116) K C Ng H/TT1 Went forward from a tricky gate, faced the breeze 3 wide without cover, did share on work in mid-section, up there challenging turning, and folded final 300m.
12 1 HELENE FUN STAR (N105) M Chadwick TT Took a nice spot behind the leader, had fair trip on back of speed, under pressure soon after turning, condition gave out rapidly and was disapointing.
