1 | 6 | GO GO VICTORY (CE097) | D Whyte | SR | Away well, gained soft lead to be 1L clear from 1400 M to home straight entrance, 2Ls ahead at 200 M, always doing enough to win. |
2 | 3 | SUPER CHARGE (CC299) | G Mosse | B | 2-wide and 5Ls back in 7th at 1100 M, 4Ls down in same position off final turn, finished off strongly to take 2nd on the line. |
3 | 12 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | K W Tsui | -- | 2-wide and 1L off pace in 2nd from 1200 M to home turn, 2Ls down in 2nd at the 200 M, kept on only evenly and lost out on 2nd place on the line. |
4 | 11 | PURPLE GOLD (CD249) | H K Yim | B | Settled in 5th about 3Ls behind speed at 1200 M, crowded at 600 M, 3Ls down in 4th when straightening for home, kept on at same pace. |
5 | 9 | NATURAL ECHO (CB326) | D Dunn | B | Slow break, one from rear about 8Ls off pace at 1100 M, under pressure at 600 M and marginally closer taking home turn, made some good late ground, nearest at finish. |
6 | 4 | THUNDER MAN (CB239) | W C Marwing | B | Checked at 1300 M and forced wider, 3-wide with cover when 6Ls behind in 8th at 1100 M, not much closer off home turn, made some minor late ground, never nearer. |
7 | 7 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | Y T Cheng | CP | Broke well, run of the race on fence 2Ls off speed in 3rd through to home bend, had every chance to place but failed to quicken up. |
8 | 1 | CHAMP DRAGON (CB278) | C K Tong | V | 3-back on fence about 4Ls off the speed in 6th until home straight when hanging in, never threatened to advance any further. |
9 | 8 | JOIN VICTORY (CD026) | O Doleuze | B | Slow start, worse than midfield 4-back on fence about 5Ls or 6Ls off the front until home turn, made some minor late ground but never really got into it. |
10 | 2 | QI'S PET (CD321) | C W Wong | B- | Sluggish break, caught 3-wide no cover when 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1100 M, tended to hang in on the circle, over 3Ls down in 5th off home turn, weakened out. (See Racing Incidents.) |
11 | 10 | LA MERVEILLE (CC205) | C Munce | CP/H | Always in rear trio and never better than 6Ls off the speed at any stage. |
