1 10 ORLANDO FLYER (CA350) D Dunn B Settled racing 2-wide and 4 to 5Ls off pace until stretch, quickly improved to challenge and grabbed lead 150 M out, ran on strongly.
2 2 FAVOURITE EXPRESS (CB041) G Mosse SR1 Never worse than 2Ls off speed on rails, quickened up off home turn and clear lead 250 M out, soon grabbed by winner, ran on to hold 2nd comfortably.
3 11 UNIVERSAL GLORY (BV162) Y T Cheng V/TT Always 2-wide and 4 to 5Ls off pace until 500 M out when outpaced, ran on well again in straight to claim 3rd close home, nearest finish.
4 5 MR HAPPY (BS234) W C Marwing B Always prominent and 2-wide through early stages, entered straight racing 4-wide, stayed on well enough without ever threatening leading pair.
5 12 WISHES (BT100) J Egan B Never more than 3Ls off pace until straight, effort 350 M out and still with place prospects 200 M out, one-paced final 200 M.
6 13 MILLENNIUM DAWN (BV168) W M Lai B Held rails position 6Ls off speed until straight, ran on fairly well final stages, nearest finish.
7 7 FRUITFUL TRIP (BP331) K C Tsang -- Always in rear group about 7 or 8Ls from lead until straight, ran on final 300 M, impeded 200 M out, nearest finish.
8 6 EASTERN TYCOON (CA261) F Coetzee B Drifted back on exiting and held up 7 to 8Ls off lead, finished off down centre of track but never landed a blow.
9 8 TUMBLER (BV337) E Legrix B Broke smartly and raced prominently early on but did so racing 3 or 4-wide and without any cover, led around home turn until 300 M out, faded final stages.
10 9 LATIN DANCER (CA230) H K Yim -- Crossed over from wide draw to race 1 or 2Ls off pace and 2-wide, gradually lost position from about 600 M out, under pressure 350 M out, not come on.
11 14 OPEN TREASURE (CA277) K H Ting SR-/B1 Settled in midfield on fence 4 to 5Ls off pace, staying on without really threatening when severely hampered by fast-weakening GRAND STAR 200 M out, no extra.
12 3 NOT GUILTY (CB053) B Marcus SR Raced 2 and 3-wide 6Ls off pace until straight when turned in racing 4-wide, no further impression.
13 4 BLACK CARBINE (CA302) S K Sit -- Always wide and rear at least 8Ls off speed, labouring and already detached 400 M out, never a factor.
14 1 GRAND STAR (CA378) S Dye H Raced keenly in lead and on fence until 500 M out, very one-paced in straight and back-pedalled right out of contention very quickly. (See Racing Incidents.)
