1 4 ELITE SIXTY-SIX (CK085) W C Marwing -- Awkwardly away, travelled handily behind leaders which set a solid pace upfront, shuffled back on turning but quickened well in straight to lead near 200 M, battled on to repel the late challenge coming from its inside.
2 3 AMAZING FLYER (CK113) G Mosse TT Settled in midfield under restraint, crossed to a rail position near 800 M, moved closer approaching home straight, raced tight near 300 M but ran on well when cleared despite hanging out.
3 12 GUAN DAO (CH211) M L Yeung -- Quickly away, switched off to assume a rail position behind midfield 4Ls off the pace, inclined to hang out on turning, shifted out into clear near 250 M, kept on well to take 3rd without troubling the first two.
4 2 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) K T Yeung B First to jump, always prominent behind leaders, travelled strongly going into straight, loomed up as a serious threat near 250 M but effort just flattened over the concluding stages.
5 1 OUR LUCKY BABY (CH187) Y T Cheng -- Moderate jump only, shaken up early to take closer order in mid-division, had a troubled passage behind horses on straightening, stayed on well to the line when cleared near 200 M.
6 5 AMNESTY (CK051) Z Purton B/XB Taken back on jumping, unable to slot in from the outside barrier and was forced very wide throughout, unable to pick up inside 400 M and kept on one paced to line. (Jockey dropped whip near 200 M.)
7 11 DON RICARDO (CE262) C K Tong -- Well enough away, drifted back to race in the rear pack 7Ls off the leader, taken wide approaching home straight, had plenty to do but managed to make some progress down the outside. Reasonable seasonal reappearance.
8 9 LIGHTNING SUCCESS (CK122) B Doyle SR1 Slightly slow out, held a rearward position on the fence trailing 7Ls to leader, kept to inside on straightening, responded fairly under pressure but was overall not threatening.
9 14 TAKE IT EASY (CJ029) C W Wong -- Ordinary jump, hard pressed for speed early, vied for lead approaching home turn, asked for more effort near 300 M but found little, gave ground rapidly from 200 M.
10 6 BLUE MAGIC (CK032) T H So -- Away in line, travelled in a position better than midfield but was caught wide making the home turn, showed signs of greenness and was seen shifting in and out under pressure inside 400 M..
11 13 ODE TO JOY (CJ298) M Du Plessis B Began awkwardly, lacked early speed and settled behind midfield 6Ls to leader, couldn't pick up on straightening and turned in another disappointing effort.
12 8 KEEP GOING (CJ244) H W Lai SR1 Ordinary break, in mid-division early, still green in its running and had a tendency to hang out, didn't negotiate the turn and found nothing on straightening. Hampered badly near 50 M.
13 10 ZABEEL TREASURE (CK126) J Winks P Unbalanced shortly after start, settled in the rear of the field trailing 8Ls to leader, under pressure on turning and had nothing to offer as the race got serious. No impression.
14 7 GO STITCH (CK062) O Doleuze B1/TT1 Quickly into stride, took up early running along the fence at a solid pace, pressed by runner on its outside 800 M out, struggled to keep up from 300 M and weakened rapidly thereafter.
