1 7 WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) D Whyte -- Driven along to lead from the widest barrier, gradually came across to eventually reach the rails before home bend, kicked 3Ls clear turning in, won unchallenged.
2 5 RAINBOW SEEKER (CK300) Z Purton B Began with others, settled in midfield, obtained a clear passage 300 M out, ran on steadily without threatening.
3 4 CLASSIC NAVIGATOR (CD330) W M Lai TT Broke well, settled in rear of midfield, shifted out for a run turning in, fought on steadily under pressure to be nearest at finish.
4 3 PROSPEROUS (L054) K W Leung -- Sluggish at start, trailed the field to home bend, did not find much room in straight until over 100 M out when too late, produced a respectable run all things considered.
5 9 SOLAR BOY (L213) H W Lai -- Never far off in prominent spot in 3rd, kept on under pressure early in straight before yielding ground inside final 200 M.
6 1 SHY BALDY (CH168) W C Marwing TT Ridden for early pace, settled in 4th about 2Ls off the speed, in similar position turning in, gradually faded.
7 12 GRANDWAY FLYER (CK302) Y T Cheng -- Niggling along in last few when forced to steady on rails coming out of back straight, remained well behind turning for home saving ground on rails, found nothing under pressure.
8 6 FAIR NAVIGATOR (CJ254) M Chadwick B/TT Began moderately, travelled towards rear, shifted out the widest for a run turning in, failed to quicken to make any impression. (Tactic questioned.)
9 10 SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) C W Wong B/SR From an unfavourable draw, soon drifted back to last few, remained well behind and never on terms.
10 2 WIN PET (CK409) O Doleuze CP1 Niggled along from a wide gate, remained wide throughout, close up early before dropping back to midfield approaching home bend, weakened further in straight. (Questioned for disappointing performance.)
11 8 FLEETING QUALITY (CJ347) C K Tong H/TT Niggled at for early speed settling for 2nd before home bend, held position under pressure early in straight, but dropped out tamely inside final 200 M.
