1 7 FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) D Whyte SR/TT Raced prominently in 5th or so and about 3Ls off speed until home turn, picked up well to lead 150 M out, driven out to hang on.
2 12 RED WINE HONEY (CE287) Y T Cheng B Slowly away, settled towards rear about 6Ls off speed early on and similarly placed taking final bend, ran on strongly from off pace but post came too soon.
3 13 X-SPEED (CC341) C W Wong B Soon disputing early lead, 1L clear at 1000 M and 2Ls to the good at top of home straight, grabbed by winner 150 M out, tired and barely hung onto 3rd place.
4 5 SILVER MARK (CE226) B Prebble V/TT Box-seated in 3rd position about 2Ls off speed, had every chance to at least place but lacked the gears. (Epiglottic entrapment.)
5 4 KING HOGAN (CE257) E Saint-Martin B Slowly away and always last about 8Ls off pace until home turn, made some decent late ground, never nearer.
6 8 TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) G Schofield B/TT Always midfield about 4Ls off pace, never threatened to get much closer in homestretch.
7 9 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) K S Yu -- 3-wide with cover when prominent at 1200 M, 3Ls down in 4th at 1000 M and same turning for home, had every chance to place if good enough.
8 3 CYPRESS HILL (CE061) F Coetzee CP- Always midfield about 5Ls off pace, never really threatened to draw closer after final bend.
9 1 SERIOUS PLAY (CC003) H W Lai -- 3-wide with cover one from rear and about 7Ls from the front through to home turn, made only very minor late ground.
10 10 TSUNAMI (CD105) W M Lai CP Slowly away, settled around midfield on fence about 5Ls off pace early, niggled along to take closer order at 1000 M, 4Ls down in 6th at top of homestretch, one-paced.
11 14 SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) K L Chui TT Always caught 3 and 4-wide no cover in midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed, dropped out from top of home straight.
12 2 SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) D Dunn B/TT Sent on out 5-wide no cover early, 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 800 M, faded out from top of home straight and eased down final 200 M.
13 11 CENAMIRA (CD129) S K Sit B Always struggling in rear group, never much better than 6Ls off pace at any stage, under pressure when wide turning for home, soon well beaten.
14 6 SUPER IDEAL (CC223) R Fradd -- Always near rear about 6Ls from the front, never on terms and eased down a long way out.
