1 4 TEMMOKU (BV108) E Legrix -- Broke well, settled in 3rd 2 to 2.5Ls off pace until 400 M out travelling well, sent on to lead 250 M out, driven out to line.
2 12 PRODIGY (BS294) W Woods -- Held up 5Ls off lead on fence through first half of race, switched inside to challenge in home straight but still over 3Ls down 200 M out, ran on well final stages.
3 11 FULL THROTTLE (BP260) K C Tsang H-/P1 Always 6Ls off pace and on inside until 400 M out when caught in an unpromising position, ran on well through gaps in straight though not match runner-up, PRODIGY's finish.
4 9 VICTORY MOUNT (BP195) E Saint-Martin SR-/P2 Raced wide around first turn 1400 M out and always caught 3-wide and 6Ls adrift until straight, improved steadily final 250 M to be nearest finish.
5 6 MR BASKETBALL (BV189) K H Ting SR Never better than 3-wide in the run though prominent 2.5 to 3Ls off pace, under pressure over 600 M out and remained hard ridden until line but stuck to task gamely.
6 10 THE RICH MAN (BS130) B Marcus B-/P2 Held inside position around 3Ls off pace until 200 M out when still with prospects of running the frame, one-paced closing stages.
7 5 BELLAGIO (BT123) G Mosse P-/TT- Never better than 3-wide and 5Ls off lead until 600 M out when hard ridden to maintain position, not show any real sign of improvement from then on.
8 7 EXPLOSIVE POWER (BV129) F Coetzee -- Widest around first bend 1400 M out and always forced to race 4-wide, 4-5Ls off pace, under strong pressure from 500 M out, beaten 300 M out.
9 8 TAMBORA STAR (BS097) S K Sit SR-/P2 Soon led on inside, 1L clear until 600 M out and over 2Ls clear 400 M out, grabbed by winner 250 M out and weakened quickly thereafter.
10 3 CONNOISSEUR'S BET (BV104) D Whyte SR Broke awkwardly but sent on to settle at leader's quarters from 1300 M until 600 M out, soon struggling around home turn and beaten 400 M out, eased down in straight. (See Racing Incidents.)
11 1 ARRIBA-ARRIBA (BT079) Y T Cheng B 2-wide and 4 to 5Ls off pace until home turn when labouring under strong driving, no impression in straight.
12 14 LOK WAH TREASURE (CA361) H K Yim -- Very awkwardly away and raced in rear 2-wide as far back as 9 to 10Ls adrift of lead, grew further detached in straight.
13 2 ASPIRATION (BP003) R Fradd -- Settled 7 or 8Ls off pace 3-wide, still far back and even wider turning into straight, never a factor.
14 13 KING HORSE (CA383) J Egan -- Not break well, and never closer than 8Ls to pace, well out of contention entering straight.
