1 4 SONGS OF THE SUN (CB237) D Dunn -- Soon led, never clear by much more than 1L, travelling well entering straight, shot 2Ls clear at 200 M, kept on strongly.
2 7 KALIMANTAN (CB262) C K Tong -- 2-wide and 4Ls off pace in 5th at 800 M, still 4Ls down but 3-wide into home straight, ran on well to take 2nd place on line.
3 12 WELL BEST (CB035) W M Lai -- Had run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th through to home straight when under pressure, 2Ls 3rd when attempting to savage GRANDWAY SHUTTLE at 200 M, kept on same pace.
4 1 CARRY THE NEWS (CB191) S Dye -- Very keen with head cocked when 5Ls behind leader at 800 M in 6th, better settled but similarly placed on straightening, 4Ls down in 4th at 200 M, ran on and nearest at finish.
5 2 THE ACHIEVER (CB347) D Whyte TT 2-wide and 6Ls off pace in 7th at 800 M and entering home straight, staying on when steadied and disappointed for running over 200 M out and again at 100 M, not fully tested.
6 10 CHAMP DE UNION (CB001) A Delpech SR Awkwardly away, always about 6Ls off pace and 2-wide in 9th place through to home straight when driven along, still 5Ls down at 200 M, ran on strongly final stages, nearest at finish.
7 8 GRANDWAY SHUTTLE (CB424) R Fradd B Pressed on early to be 3-wide without cover within 1L of pace in 2nd place until 600 M when 2-wide, 1L 2nd entering straight, 2Ls down in 2nd at 200 M, weakened close home.
8 3 HEALTHY FRUITS (CC193) J Spencer TT Never better than midfield, on fence about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace in 8th through to home straight, moderate late headway closing stages.
9 9 ENGINEERING WONDER (CB300) G Schofield -- Checked and bumped at start and lost ground, 2-wide and 8Ls off pace in 10th at 800 M, one from rear and still well back on the swing, 4-wide into home straight, no impression.
10 11 FELICITY (CB079) K T Yeung B 2-wide and prominent in 3rd 2Ls off pace early on, driven along to maintain position at 500 M, gave ground off home turn and well beaten 300 M out.
11 6 EASY GAME (CC346) H K Yim -- Hampered at start, one from rear and on fence at 800 M when about 8Ls down, no better off and under pressure entering straight, never remotely on terms.
12 5 TSZ WAN FORTUNE (CC367) J Quinn -- Broke awkwardly, soon well behind, 10Ls down at 800 M, well detached entering straight, not sighted thereafter.
