1 9 GREAT HERO (CH016) B Prebble B/TT Raced 2nd no worse than 2Ls from the early pace, travelled well when leading at top of home straight, forged clear, very easily.
2 8 CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) Z Purton B/TT 5Ls back in 8th out 2-wide at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 5th at the final turn out 4-wide, kept on best of the rest for a remote 2nd.
3 13 NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) H W Lai -- Switched inside from wide gate to sit 5-back on fence about 8Ls down at 1000 M, ran on well down the centre through final stages for a distant place.
4 11 MEGA BULLET (CH192) G Boss -- One from rear about 10Ls off pace at the 1200 M, midfield and 6Ls back turning in, one-paced thereafter.
5 1 SOUNDS FANTASTIC (CH146) Y T Cheng -- Very slowly away, 12Ls last at the 1000 M, 9Ls back turning for home, made some minor late ground through beaten rivals.
6 12 GOLD GEM (CG197) E Wilson CP/TT 3-back on fence about 4Ls back in 6th at 1200 M, headway to be 2Ls back in 3rd swinging for home out 3-wide, tired in the latter stages.
7 3 JOY TRUMPS (CD242) C Soumillon B/TT Slowly away, 10Ls back towards early on, 5Ls down in midfield off final bend, couldn't progress much further.
8 14 LUCKY WORLD (CJ053) C W Wong TT Soon led on fence by 1L, headed at top of the home straight and faded out very quickly.
9 7 ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) M W Leung -- Box-seated on fence 2Ls back in 3rd at 1200 M, 4Ls down in 3rd at 800 M, 4th turning for home, back-pedalled.
10 6 EASY GAME (CC346) A Delpech PC2 4-back on fence 6Ls off pace in 9th at 1200 M and much the same turning for home, dropped out further.
11 2 JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) G Mosse P 6Ls or 7Ls back in midfield at halfway, hard pressed to take closer order turning for home, dropped out.
12 4 CLASSIC KING (CD256) O Doleuze B/TT Always in the rear, about 11th and 10Ls off pace at 1000 M, under pressure to improve at the 600 M, always well held in home straight.
13 10 FREEBIRD (CC319) E Saint-Martin P-/BO2 Hung out as usual, 3-wide no cover throughout also, 4Ls back in 5th and niggled along at 1000 M, yielding ground before final bend, folded.
14 5 BLISS STAR (CE311) K L Chui TT Trapped 4-wide no cover at 1000 M, dropped rapidly through the field and beaten 800 M out, performance deemed unacceptable.
