1 10 DREAM HORSE (CG029) H W Lai H/TT Always 3 and 4-wide no cover, 1L back in 3rd or 4th until straight, looked held when 3Ls back in 3rd at 200 M, stayed on to lead final strides.
2 4 THUNDER FLASH (CG270) K L Chui TT Led by 1L on fence at 1000 M, 2Ls clear and seemed certain to win 150 M out, tired inside final 150 M out and grabbed final strides.
3 5 FLY HIGH (CH126) G Mosse -- Ridden very quietly and about 9Ls last turning into homestretch, made up a lot of ground inside final 200 M for an improbable placed finish.
4 1 WIN AGAIN (CD371) D Beadman B/SR 4Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at 1200 M and same turning for home, had his chance to place but could only make moderate late headway.
5 3 KINGIFLY (CG020) Z Purton TT 3-back on fence when 5Ls down in 7th early, 4Ls off into final stretch when checked, ran on okay but never likely to place.
6 6 LUCKY FRUIT (CG026) S K Sit B/TT- 1L in 3rd or 4th early on, 3Ls back in 5th turning for home, outpaced by the principals thereafter.
7 9 QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) D Whyte -- Settled 5Ls back in 10th through to home straight, retrieved minor late ground down centre of track, never nearer.
8 12 SHY BALDY (CH168) C K Tong TT Had the run of the race in 4th on fence 2Ls off pace until home turn, clear 2nd when 2Ls behind at 200 M, swamped in closing stages, weak finish.
9 8 MASTER GREEN (CJ104) K T Yeung V In rear early on, about 7Ls back in second last swinging for home, never on terms.
10 2 WHATAFANTASY (CH267) G Boss TT Checked at start, 4Ls or 5Ls back in 8th or 9th through to home straight, didn't find much under pressure.
11 7 GUAN DAO (CH211) Y T Cheng -- Prominent and pressed on to lead briefly by a neck at halfway, 1L back in 2nd off final bend, dropped out tamely.
