1 1 FRIENDSHIP (CE066) C W Wong -- Soon led on fence, always a little over 1L clear through to home straight, similar margin to the good at 200 M, went further clear.
2 11 CHINOOK (CC108) G Schofield B Box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1000 M, over 1L back in 2nd straightening for home, did enough for 2nd but never a credible challenger to winner.
3 10 FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) Y T Cheng -- 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off speed through to homestretch, plugged on fairly for 3rd late.
4 8 DANRIVA (CA040) O Doleuze -- Switched from wide gate to fence, 7Ls last at 1200 M, 5Ls down in 9th taking final bend, ran on quite well but just missed out on a place.
5 7 ZEONIC FRONTIER (CE013) C Munce B With cover about 6Ls behind leader in 10th at 1100 M, 4-wide taking home turn when 4Ls back in mid-pack, one-paced.
6 12 THAT'S IT (CE223) H K Yim SR Over-raced early on when 5Ls off the speed in 8th at 1100 M, similarly placed entering stretch, always held by principals. (See Racing Incidents.)
7 4 VINCERE (CE324) E Saint-Martin B 3Ls back in 5th when 2-wide at 1100 M, dragged back by retreating KING OF WIN at 600 M and 6Ls down in 11th taking final bend, no impression thereafter.
8 6 AURELIAN (CC025) H W Lai V1 One from rear 7Ls off the front at 1100 M, about 5Ls behind in 10th when without a clear passage at final bend, clear 200 M out but never dangerous.
9 2 HAPPY KID (CC326) D Whyte SR 4Ls back in 6th when 2-wide at 1200 M, strung up in traffic off home turn and not clear until the 200 M when 6Ls back in 9th, much too late to retrieve any ground.
10 3 PRESENT TREASURE (CC077) F Coetzee TT Always 3-wide no cover when about 2Ls off pace in 3rd or so until the 600 M, hard pressed to lie up turning for home, faded out.
11 9 BUDDIES POWER (CB201) D Dunn CP/TT 4-wide no cover 1200 M when 5Ls behind leader in 9th, looped field to go 1L down 2nd with 500 M to go, under pressure to keep up off final bend, soon wilted.
12 5 KING OF WIN (CD395) M W Leung B2 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1100 M, struggling to hold position at the 800 M, dropped back to 8Ls last off final bend, very weak effort.
