1 9 GRANDIOSO (CA327) D Whyte SR1 Settled just behind midfield. Made move from 400 M and ran on well to take charge close home.
2 6 EXULTATION (BV223) E Legrix B Ridden along out wide to take lead at 800 M. Held 3L advantage rounding home bend. Kept on well in straight until overhauled by winner closing stages. (See Racing Incidents.)
3 14 NIGHT STAR (BV151) M W Leung -- Tardy start, towards rear. Ran on steadily from 300 M despite hanging in and proving difficult to ride out.
4 3 MERRY MERRY (BV298) R Fradd -- Brief lead, then sat 3L behind leader rounding home bend. Ran on from 400 M to challenge for lead but one-paced final 100 M.
5 8 COURAGE STAR (BT054) E Saint-Martin -- Niggled along to be in touch. Kept on quite well in straight without threatening the placegetters.
6 2 ALL THRILLS TOO (CA100) S Dye -- Midfield early, steadily dropped towards rear near 800 M. Made up some ground from 250 M. (See Racing Incidents.)
7 13 ROMANTIC SYMPHONY (BV150) A Marcus -- Ridden along but failed to keep up at rear. Under pressure from 500 M, made up a little ground in straight.

9 11 VICTORY MARBLE (BV275) H K Yim -- Ridden along in prominent position. Began to give ground from 300 M.
10 1 STYLISH (BV025) J Egan B/TT At the back throughout. Never a factor.
11 4 COLOURFUL ERA (BP234) T Culhane -- At rear throughout, wide on home turn. Never in contention.
12 10 SPLENDID PATROL (BV066) Y T Cheng V Just better than midfield. Raced ungenerously for some distance middle stages when tight inside another runner. Dropped out from 300 M.
13 5 SHINING CROWN (CA154) C H Tse TT Midfield or slightly forward. Dropped back on home bend. Further weakened in the straight.
