1 4 PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) B Prebble -- Positioned in midfield, responded to pressure 400 M out, came with a sweeping run outside and got up just in time.
2 3 WILLING STORM (CJ187) D Beadman H Not hurried in early stages and settled behind midfield 7Ls off the strong pace, ran on well down the inside but just found one too strong.
3 5 NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) M Chadwick B/TT Tracked leaders in the first half then sped off to a clear lead making the home turn, held 3Ls advantage final 200 M, weakened in late stages and caught near line.
4 9 ISLAND SUPER (CH297) J Lloyd TT Dropped back and taken across to the rail, 10Ls off the pace in middle stages, made steady progress down the inside without reaching the top 3.
5 2 TAI SING YEH (L037) D Whyte -- Settled 4 to 5Ls behind runaway leader, given every chance but found less than expected when the race got serious, turned flat after being taken in near 100 M.
6 10 LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) C W Wong -- Settled 2-wide in mid-division, kept on final 200 M but failed to make an impression.
7 12 GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) M L Yeung -- With leaders early, dropped back to midfield halfway down the back straight, into clear 300 M but couldn't find an extra gear to seriously challenge.
8 7 TAKE THE RAP (L369) W C Marwing -- Placed behind midfield, had 9Ls to make up turning in but could only make minor progress late on.
9 8 ELITE OF CHIU TON (CK089) G Cheyne SR1 Never far off but could only keep on at the same pace, weakened close home.
10 11 HAPPY REUNION (CK163) H W Lai TT Switched off to last and trailed over 10Ls to leader in a strongly run race, picked up fairly on straightening and never looked like getting to the horses in front.
11 6 HONGKONG SUPERSTAR (CH167) C K Tong CP-/B2/TT Went forward from a wide barrier but had to make some use early, gave up the lead approaching home turn, driven inside 300 M but no progress, weakened gradually.
12 1 BRILLIANT CHAPTER (CJ100) K W Leung TT Taken back on jumping from a wide barrier and settled over 10Ls off the strong pace, took a while to pick up and made some headway late on.
