1 5 HAPPY FIERY DRAGON (V108) A Sanna H/XB1/TT Broke well from a low draw, settled just off the pace on the rail, angled out for a run entering straight, fought on steadily to just prevail in a four-way finish.
2 12 LE PEGASE (T280) M L Yeung B Began well from a wide gate, prominent and wide before racing one-out-one-back in joint 3rd around home bend, fought on steadily down the straight, lost in bob.
3 11 STARRY STARLIES (T429) W M Lai B Moderate start, improving on the rail when inconvenienced passing the 800 metres, ran on alongside first two holding every chance but unable to peg them back.
4 4 GAINFULJET (V283) Z Purton TT Ridden from the widest gate to lead on the rail, held narrow running round the bend and into straight, broke over half a length clear early in straight but unable to sustain effort and swamped inside the final 150 metres.
5 10 FURIOUS PEGASUS (S441) C Schofield TT Settled just worse than midfield, shuffled further back when wide around home bend, widest runner turning in, produced good impression down the centre of the straight, did best work late.
6 3 HAYMAKER (T054) K Teetan H-/SR-/B1 Settled at the back from a wide gate, saved ground on the rail turning for home, did not find much room behind runners early in straight, kept on steadily to be nearest at finish.
7 7 HAPPY GAINS (V252) M F Poon B/XB Settled in midfield, kept on steadily down the centre of the track, never threatening.
8 8 ORIENTAL FANTASIA (P269) H N Wong P Moderate start, improved steadily to join the leader rounding home bend, unable to sustain effort and faded inside the final 300 metres.
9 1 JIMSON THE FAMOUS (T253) C Murray V/TT Lacked early pace, travelled in last few before creeping up on the rail rounding home bend, one-paced in straight.
10 2 KWAICHUNG BROTHERS (A012) J Moreira B/TT Always in last few, baulked for a run early in straight, kept on at the same pace. (Questioned for disappointing performance)
11 6 HURRICANE KID (T285) N Callan PC Raced wide in last few after beginning from a wide gate, lost position and dropped to last coming onto home bend, failed to quicken under pressure but kept on same pace to the line.
12 9 NATURAL TEAM (P257) K C Ng TT Prominent far side, gave ground steadily from half-way out.
