1 1 NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) G Mosse -- Slowly away but quickly recovered on fence to have the run of the race, 2Ls down in 3rd entering stretch, disappointed for running at 250 M and switched back inside to lead over 100 M out, driven out.
2 6 GOLDEN WIN (CE062) B Prebble -- Always prominent about 2Ls off speed in 3rd or 4th until home turn, every chance when under 1L down in 4th at 200 M, stayed on well but could not match winner's acceleration.
3 9 CHERISHED (CB160) M Nunes P2/TT- Crowded at start, about 8Ls behind in rear early, 6Ls down in 11th turning for home, finished off well on the fence to nick 3rd in final strides.
4 7 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) W M Lai B Keen at 800 M when about 3Ls back in 5th and similarly positioned entering home straight, had every opportunity to place down centre of track but lost out in final strides.
5 11 AMBITIOUS LEADER (CC082) A Delpech B/TT Awkward break, worse than midfield at least 5Ls from lead until home straight, made some good late ground, never nearer.
6 5 PROFIT HILL (CE274) N Ryan CP 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls from the lead until home straight, one-paced and never likely to finish better than mid-division.
7 3 HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) D Nikolic B/TT Soon led out 2-wide by 1L, same margin to the fore at final turn, headed about 200 M out and very weak in final 100 M.
8 2 GOLDEN STRIDE (CA343) C K Tong B/TT1 On fence about 1L back in 2nd from 800 M to home turn, led very briefly about 200 M out, swamped late.
9 10 GOOD TO GREAT (CD278) S K Sit CP Driven along from gates but could only manage a position towards the rear about 6Ls from the front, never threatened in home straight.
10 12 WONDERFUL BOY (CD192) H W Lai V/TT 3-wide no cover down the backstretch about 4Ls off speed in mid-pack, gained cover on the circle in midfield, never dangerous from then on.
11 4 WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) K T Yeung B Caught 4-wide very early on, about 5Ls back at 800 M and with cover 3-wide, always towards rear and a most unlikely challenger.
12 8 WONDERFUL WORLD (CG133) H K Yim CP- Soon struggling in rear and never better than 6Ls off pace at any stage, lacks any kind of pace.
