1 8 PRISTINE (BV254) W M Lai P/H/TT Soon led and made all. Won easily.
2 3 HAPPY FOREVER (BP144) K S Yu B Jumped awkwardly, then in the early stages raced a little awkwardly. Always prominent. Kept on in straight and held on for 2nd despite no match with the winner.
3 4 MASCOT TREASURE (BV248) W C Marwing B Well there. Kept on in straight to miss 2nd narrowly.
4 2 KIMBO BELL (BV099) D Whyte SR Midfield or better. Kept on without threatening in straight.
5 12 MY JOY (CA143) H K Yim -- Niggled early to maintain at around midfield or worse. Crept closer after straightening. One-paced thereafter.
6 9 MALAYAN PEARL (BT037) E Legrix B/TT Always midfield. One-paced in straight.
7 11 GOLDCHIN BEST (BV202) R Fradd B Worse than midfield. Under pressure rounding the home bend and wide into straight. No extra.
8 7 SMART HORSE (BV096) S Dye TT Soon at back. Never a factor.
9 10 PLENTY WIN (BS286) E Saint-Martin BO Tardy start. At back and was wide throughout. Made no show.
10 5 NON SEQUITUR (BV093) F Coetzee P Went forward and was wide turning out of the straight first time from a difficult gate. Well there but continued to race wide without cover. Gave ground 600 M out.
11 6 OCEAN CHANNEL (CA394) D Dunn -- About midfield. Weakened steadily from 600 M.
12 1 GOLDEN DUKE (BN194) S Baster -- Towards rear. Never a factor.
