1 5 WINE WIN (CG018) M L Yeung B Showed good early speed to be in front passing 800 M, on the bridle to 350 M, quickened well once asked and was able to sustain his effort to the line.
2 12 HAPPY REUNION (CK163) H W Lai B/TT Slow to begin but quickly recovered, tucked in just behind leaders, accelerated well inside 400 M and had his chance but never looked like catching the winner.
3 2 EVER BEAUTY (CJ161) W C Marwing XB/TT Behind midfield early but gradually moved up to be within one length of the leader going into 400 M, responded well and kept on stoutly for 3rd.
4 1 LUCKY RED (CJ059) W M Lai -- Always in the firing line but raced a shade keen in early stages, briefly led inside 400 M, kept on before fading away close home.
5 9 ENRICHED (CK254) D Whyte -- Settled in midfield off the moderate early pace, in pursuit of the leaders passing midway, ran on inside 200 M. Posted a decent first up effort although never a posed serious threat to the first four.
6 11 WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) M W Leung -- Always in the front rank, crossed to race along the nearside rail 600 M out, unable to sustain effort passing 300 M, flattened out late on.
7 10 SOVIET PEARL (CK187) O Doleuze -- Towards the rear 5Ls off the pace, appeared to struggle passing midway but stayed on OK towards the end.
8 13 EXTRA SPECIAL (CJ213) J Lloyd CP Steadied on jumping, dropped back to the rear 6 to 7Ls off the leader, picked up OK from off the pace but never looked likely from that position.
9 6 MASTER CRISTO (CH321) C K Tong -- Tracked leader along the nearside rail, switched out to challenge from 500 M but responded fairly, no extra close home.
10 3 NATIVE KID (CG317) D Dunn B-/XB/TT2 Settled just behind leaders under restraint, couldn't accelerate with them as the race got serious passing halfway. Disappointing.
11 8 SMART CURRENCY (CJ222) K L Chui TT Drawn on the farside but was steadily tacked across to race down the centre of track, close enough early but looked in trouble passing midway, weakened rapidly from 300 M. (Jockey questioned.)
12 4 GOOD DISHES (CJ224) S K Sit B/TT1 Began awkwardly, shaken up early to hold a nearside rail position behind midfield, 4Ls down 400 M out but found little for pressure. No impression.
13 14 NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) P H Lo -- In rearward throughout, had 5Ls to make up going into final 400 M, showed little dash and proved disappointing on this outing over an unsuited distance.
14 7 LUCKYME (CH012) Y T Cheng -- Niggled along from the outset but couldn't muster speed and struggled to keep up, ran poorly inside 400 M over a trip that appeared not to suit.
