1 4 BOND (BT065) C Brown B/H Settled in better than midfield. Ran on well from 300 M to lead 100 M out, won readily.
2 12 CHARMING SUCCESS (BS124) J Egan -- Niggled along to be prominent, caught wide along back straight. Every chance 200 M out, kept on well though no threat to the winner.
3 10 WINNING MASCOT (BT105) W C Marwing -- Well away, gradually dropped to behind midfield at 800 M. Ran on steadily final 250 M.
4 14 NOBLE CHARGE (BV306) Y T Cheng TT Began awkwardly, well back. Made up good ground final 300 M.
5 6 GOOD TIME FOR ALL (BS106) S K Sit -- Worked forward to lead at 1000 M. Headed 150 M out, weakened close home.
6 3 ABBA (BP305) S Dye -- Better than midfield throughout. Became unbalanced when crowded at 700 M. Kept on one pace in the straight.
7 5 GOLDEN CHOICE (BP203) K S Yu -- Pushed along to be better than midfield. Joined the leaders at 350 M. Weakened steadily closing stages.
8 9 SAI KUNG STAR (BP299) C P Ting B/TT Lacked early speed, soon dropped to worse than midfield. Was checked when disappointed for running near 700 M. Never seen with a chance.
9 13 JUST WIN (BV312) W M Lai -- Prominent, was not travelling kindly and hung out. Checked away from heels near the 500 M, steadily weakened from 350 M. (See Racing Incidents.)
10 2 NAMJONG SUCCESS (BT035) R Fradd -- Broke fairly from widest draw, gradually dropped towards rear. Unable to quicken in the straight, trapped wide most of the way.
11 1 UNIVERSAL WINNER (BP166) D Whyte P2 Prominent early, steadily dropped to midfield at 800 M. Not a factor thereafter.
12 7 HOSSEGOR (BT136) W Woods P Soon dropped to the rear, never in contention.
13 8 LOMBARD (BV198) K C Tsang -- Well there, dropped out quickly final 150 M.
