1 9 HEALTHY CONTENDER (CJ342) G Cheyne H Raced wide in rear early stages, moved forward to take up running passing winning post the first time but soon headed at Stables Bend, tracked leaders until switched out for a run into straight, hit front at the 100 M to score readily.
2 2 ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) Z Purton B Suffered from slackening pace turning into straight the first time, soon recovered to race 3-wide in midfield, slightly closer up down far side but still racing wide, finished off race well without threatening the winner.
3 7 OSCAR PRINCE (CJ052) Y T Cheng TT- Broke well from the one draw, chased leader early stages before shuffling backward to midfield far side, ran home nicely to be nearest at finish. (Jockey warned re his riding over 600 M out.)
4 10 CENTENNIAL SMILE (CG165) J Lloyd B2 Began awkwardly, settled in last few racing keenly in the muddling pace at times in early stages, switched out to take closer order going up Rock, closed off well in straight to be nearest at finish.
5 8 WINNING PAL (CJ138) D Whyte B/TT Sluggish at start, raced keenly behind mid-division in slow-paced field, switched out Stables Bend to go forward for lead, made running until narrowly headed into straight, no extra close to home.
6 1 DECENT FELLOW (CH021) K C Leung B/H/TT Never better than midfield, produced steady headway down straight without threatening.
7 4 GALAXEE (CJ182) D Beadman B Travelled on rails in midfield, shuffled backward towards rear of field down far side, maintained steady headway in the run home.
8 12 SPEED AND GOLD (CJ151) S K Sit TT Made early running before handed up lead passing winning post the first time, travelled within striking distance down far side, renewed effort around the bend to hit front into straight, swamped final 100 M.
9 11 FABULOUS START (CK151) W M Lai -- Raced keenly in a prominent spot, settled one-out-one-back going down back straight the second time, dropped to 3L 4th when pace quickened around the bend, kept on same speed until finding no extra inside final 150 M.
10 5 SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) O Doleuze TT Began with others, soon crossed for prominent one-out-one- back spot, gradually shuffled backward to midfield far side, made short-lived effort to be close up early in final straight, dropped out tamely passing the 100 M mark.
11 6 OCTAGONAL CANYON (CJ055) C K Tong -- Always struggling at the back.
12 3 ROCKALOT (CH163) K W Leung B/TT Soon taken back to race in rear, met interferences 1700 M out, remained in last few thereafter.
