1 5 FAIR WIN (CE027) E Saint-Martin B 2-wide and 3Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, 4Ls down in 5th off last turn, picked up well to lead 150 M and won comfortably.
2 10 DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) W M Lai SR Box-seated on rails in 3rd at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 2nd on straightening before briefly leading 200 M out, soon headed, just held down 2nd.
3 8 FLORAL IMAGE (CK027) K L Chui TT 3-back on fence in 5th about 4Ls off pace at halfway, edged a little closer turning and all out to just get 3rd.
4 4 AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) B Prebble B Midfield with cover about 5Ls from the front until home straight, ran on well and only just missed the money.
5 2 DR WELL (CD165) K T Yeung B2 Led by 2Ls on fence at 1200 M, unable to quicken the tempo further off final bend and headed at the 200 M, soon slipped out of the placings.
6 1 BRILLIANT FLASH (CE042) C K Tong B Squeezed at start, at least 6Ls behind speed until home straight, made some late ground without troubling principals.
7 12 KEY WINNER (CG157) Y T Cheng B/TT 4-back on fence in midfield until straightening about 4Ls from the speed, very one-paced.
8 6 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) D Whyte B Checked in rear at 1300 M, 10th and 7Ls behind at halfway, never likely to get seriously involved.
9 7 SAMBUOYANT (CE172) Z Purton B Went back from wide gate, 8Ls last at 1200 M, never posed much danger.
10 11 BATURO (CH029) J Victoire -- Worse than midfield about 6Ls behind early pace, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, no impression.
11 3 SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) C W Wong -- 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1000 M, weakening in 3rd turning for home, surrendered tamely.
12 9 GALLANT HUSSAR (CJ017) M Du Plessis B-/CP1/TT1 Performance deemed unacceptable, trapped 3-wide no cover down back straight in midfield, faded out in final stages. (Questioned.)
