1 | 2 | ROCKET POWER (CH136) | K L Chui | B/TT | Was a little slow to begin, then despite being ridden failed to muster speed, settling midfield the fence. Angled out early in the straight and gained advantage in the shadows of the post. |
2 | 9 | PRESTO (CJ048) | D Whyte | -- | Raced on the back of a quickly run race, made up good ground turning for home, worked to the line solidly. |
3 | 13 | POWER DRAGON (CG084) | P H Lo | XB | Took up leading duties and in the middle stages proved difficult to settle and would not relax while holding a commanding lead. Looked likely winner before tiring close to the line. |
4 | 1 | BEJEWELED (CH289) | C W Wong | -- | Settled 1 off midfield, peeled out after straightening and hung out for some distance afterwards. Proved to be somewhat one paced down the running. |
5 | 7 | KENOBE (CH222) | F Coetzee | XB | Raced in last positon came widest in the straight and ran on well. |
6 | 6 | HAPPY TOUCH (CJ008) | E Saint-Martin | TT1 | Travelled in 3rd position some lengths off the leader along the fence. For some distance after the 400 M, had difficulty obtaining clear running. Ran on soundly. |
7 | 3 | SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) | S Dye | -- | After being caught wide early in a midfield position, was allowed to stride forward near the 600 M and shifted in, behind the leader, 2 deep. Commenced to give ground after the 400 M. |
8 | 14 | MEGA BULLET (CH192) | G Boss | -- | Settled near the rear of the field on the rails. Closed of nicely. |
9 | 10 | REAL PLEASURE (CJ021) | G Mosse | -- | Raced 2 deep, had cover with the backmarkers. Made up satisfactory ground in the run home. |
10 | 4 | MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) | H W Lai | P- | Travelled in a rearward spot 1 off with cover, struggled over the final furlong. |
11 | 12 | EXCELLENT PLASTIC (CH263) | Y T Cheng | TT | Enjoyed the run of the race in 2nd position, tired after the 450 M, had no excuses. |
12 | 8 | NEW ASIA FORWARD (CH309) | B Prebble | -- | Raced behind midfield but was caught wide for most of the trip, never likely. |
13 | 11 | TELECOM SIR (CH217) | K Shea | -- | Raced at the tail of the field 4-wide without cover. Never in the hunt. |
