1 13 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) O Doleuze B Box-seat run on fence about 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1200 M, niggled along to stay interested down backstretch, still close up turning for home, kept on for pressure to lead 100 M out, ran on.
2 14 JUST IN TIME (BV215) C K Tong -- Soon led on fence, never clear by more than half a length until the 800 M, led by 1L at top of stretch, headed by winner at 100 M, no extra.
3 7 TEMMOKU (BV108) Y T Cheng V On fence 5Ls down in 7th at 1200 M, 3Ls down in 4th taking final bend, comprehensively outpaced by quinella pair but plugged on fairly for a place.
4 1 EVER KING (CE147) D Dunn TT Raced ungenerously early on, 2-wide and 5Ls behind in 8th at 1200 M, hard pressed to make an impression on the circle, didn't succeed.
5 10 NATURAL ECHO (CB326) G Mosse B 4-back on fence about 7Ls down in 10th at 1200 M, about 5Ls down in 9th taking final turn, made some minor late ground past beaten rivals.

9 4 GOLD DIGGER (CD101) M W Leung CP Half a length off pace in 2nd out 2-wide at 1200 M, 1L down in 2nd but under pressure taking final bend, soon gave ground.
10 8 X-SPEED (CC341) B Prebble B 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, hard pressed to lie up when same margin behind at final bend, faded out. (Soft palate displaced.)
11 3 SEVENS HEAVEN (CE175) K T Yeung BO/TT Bounded at start and lost at least 6Ls, detached and at least 9Ls off the speed through first half of race, never a factor. (See Racing Incidents.)
12 5 SEA TREASURE (CD335) F Coetzee CP/TT 9Ls down in 12th at 1200 M, pressed on to be 4Ls down in midfield at 800 M, gave ground at top of home straight.
