1 10 GLORY YEARS (CE023) G Schofield B Tracked leaders in midfield 2-wide and about 3Ls off speed until home turn, headway to be 1L down in 4th at 200 M, kept on well to lead on line.
2 3 FLYING GENERAL (CB236) W C Marwing SR Box-seat run on fence 2Ls off speed in 4th or so from 800 M to home straight, a neck down in 2nd at 200 M, poked in front inside final 30 M only to be done in final bound.
3 11 TRUST ME (CA144) W M Lai B Best away, 2-wide and within 2Ls of the speed in 3rd or so through to final bend, led by a neck over 200 M out, headed about 30 M out and lost out on quinella berth in final strides.
4 6 KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) M W Leung -- Slowly away, on fence about 3Ls off speed in midfield until straightening for home, over 1L down in 6th at 200 M when a little tight for room, lacked the finish of the first three home.
5 7 PROFIT HILL (CE274) O Doleuze -- Slowest to begin, 6Ls off pace in 11th early on, over 4Ls back in 9th taking final turn, ran on well late to be nearest at the finish.
6 1 CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) H W Lai -- Slow to muster early speed but soon 3-wide no cover within 2Ls off lead, 4-wide (widest of all) turning for home when 2Ls down in 5th, all out when 1L down in 4th at 200 M, no extra late.
7 4 ZERO IN (CC332) F Coetzee TT Bumped at start and soon outpaced about 5Ls behind leader and towards rear, 7Ls down in 11th taking home turn, made some minor late ground.
8 12 I'M NO SQUARE (CG078) C K Tong -- Soon detached in rear 8Ls off pace 700 M out, kept on past a few beaten horses in the home straight but never on terms with principals.
9 2 VICTORY WARRIOR (CA338) H K Yim CP On fence a neck down in 3rd early on, pressed on to lead by 1L taking final bend, headed over 200 M out and very weak thereafter.
10 9 DR POSSI (CE288) Y T Cheng B Always 3-wide but with cover about 4Ls off speed in 8th through to home straight, never threatened to improve.
11 5 GENERAL SPEEDEE (CG193) B Prebble -- Bumped at start, fairly placed in midfield about 3Ls off speed but lost place on circle and 6Ls down in 10th turning for home, no impression.
12 8 KEEN FLYER (CB330) K T Yeung B/TT Disputed early lead out 2-wide, hung out at 600 M and in 2nd place 1L off speed when 3-wide on straightening, found zero off the bridle.
