1 | 5 | HAPPY KID (CC326) | W C Marwing | SR-/B2 | Best away, took up box seat position on fence 2Ls off pace in 2nd or 3rd through to home straight, led over 200 M out, always in command. |
2 | 3 | CONQUEROR (CE270) | H K Yim | V | Checked at the start, about 6Ls behind speed in 10th until the final bend, headway to be 3Ls down in 4th at 200 M, ran around a little late but still stayed on strongly for 2nd. |
3 | 9 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | G Schofield | V | 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in 5th at 1000 M, closer turning for home, 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, no extra late but did enough for a place. |
4 | 1 | CHECK MATE (CC259) | C W Wong | BO | Steadied at start, worse than midfield about 6Ls behind leader early on, not much better off taking home turn, ran on well inside final 200 M to be nearest at finish. |
5 | 7 | CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) | B Prebble | -- | Blundered the start and raced greenly throughout, about 9Ls rear until home turn, made up some good late ground to be nearest at the finish. |
6 | 4 | THUNDER MAN (CB239) | F Coetzee | B | Towards rear about 7Ls off pace and 3-wide with cover until the home straight, ran on fairly well in the finish without threatening a place, never nearer. |

8 | 8 | DOUBLE FANTASY (CG141) | C Munce | -- | Raced greenly, 3Ls down in 4th but left 3-wide no cover on the circle, fly-leapt 700 M out, one-paced in home straight. |
9 | 6 | GLOBAL LEADER (CG048) | D Whyte | -- | Slowly away, always about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace in midfield until home turn, always well held by principals. (Lame next day.) |
10 | 14 | AMERICAN VICTORY (CD375) | Y T Cheng | B | Held up towards rear about 7Ls off pace early on and no closer taking home turn, never dangerous. |
11 | 12 | FRAMES DEPOT (CG118) | R Fradd | -- | Dropped in midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed from 1000 M to home turn when 4-wide and under pressure, soon faded out. |
12 | 11 | NAPA (CE271) | K L Chui | -- | Soon led on fence, 2Ls clear at 800 M and 1L in front at 400 M, headed over 200 M out and faded markedly late. |
13 | 2 | UNIVERSAL PIONEER (CB293) | W M Lai | TT | Didn't lead as usual, raced in 2nd or 3rd about 2Ls off pace from 1200 M to home turn, tired from 300 M and very weak late. |
