1 8 ROMANTIC CASH (S319) K C Leung H/TT Pushed to obtain a trailing position behind leader, took over command 200M and drew off impressively towards finish.
2 12 PEARL WIN (P085) H N Wong SR Quickly into stride and set slow pace upfront under the reins of 10lb claiming rider, not finishing pace of winner 200M but kept on gamely to hold 2nd just.
3 5 HAPPY METEOR (T171) N Callan H/B1 Tracked the pacesetter from along the inside route, travelled well and loomed boldly at top of straight, shifted in 150M and had to be corrected, ran on again late just missed 2nd.
4 10 GOLDEN CHOPSTICKS (P120) H W Lai -- Held up 5Ls back near rear, closed off final 400M fastest for a never nearer 4th.
5 1 PEACE N PROSPERITY (T210) G Mosse -- Close up in 4th racing along the 2-path, continued on well enough turning in but couldn't match pace with runaway winner, in contention for a minor placing until late stages.
6 7 DA VINCI (S360) Z Purton B/TT Sat unhurried in midfield, 3-4Ls behind leader throughout, had every chance turning in but couldn't muster the pace to challenge.

9 4 ALL THE BEST (S169) R Fourie H/SR/TT Within 3Ls of leader early and middle stages, kept on same pace turning in, soon out of contention.
10 6 AMAZING MOMENT (T422) M L Yeung -- Began only fairly from wide barrier, taken back to rear 7Ls off the slow pace, gave limited response when driven 400M, never threatened.
11 11 KIROV (S277) K Teetan -- Taken across behind runners to find cover, ended up 7Ls behind leader on settling, wide bid 400M, made no progress.
