1 8 AMAZING VICTORY (CC085) G Mosse -- Raced about 1L off the pace on the fence until about 600 M out, went about half a length in front at top of home straight, 2Ls clear 200 M out, pulled further clear, easily.
2 4 GRANDIOSO (CA327) O Doleuze TT Caught 4-wide and 10Ls off the pace 1000 M out, 6Ls down and 3-wide turning for home, ran on well to be nearest at the finish.
3 2 LUCKY TRIO (CB199) S Dye -- 4Ls off the speed on the fence in 4th place 800 M out, similarly placed but a bit wider on straightening, ran on quite well to be nearest at the finish.
4 7 PLENTY OF LUCK (CA308) S K Sit -- Best away but soon restrained to sit 8Ls off the lead and 2-wide 800 M out, 3-wide into home straight and still 8Ls down, ran on well enough to be nearest at the finish. (See Racing Incidents.)
5 10 FLAMENCO STAR (BS321) D Dunn B- No speed early on, on fence 10Ls off the pace as early as 1000 M out, 8Ls down turning for home, made some moderate headway through beaten rivals.
6 3 EASTERN PURPLE (CB317) G Schofield B Raced 2 and 3-wide and about 5Ls or 6Ls off the pace until the home straight, very one-paced from then on.
7 6 JOLLY GAINS (CB232) D Whyte -- Disputed early lead racing 2 and 3-wide, went in front by about half a length from the 800 M, headed by winner about 600 M out and was a length down entering straight, weakened steadily.
8 5 SUPER FAST (BV327) F Coetzee B About 10Ls off the speed and 3-wide at the 1000 M, was without cover in parts of the back straight, 4-wide turning for home when 6Ls down, posed no sort of threat.
9 1 COMPANION (CA273) W C Marwing -- Awkwardly away, jockey appeared uncomfortable with saddle position, 10Ls off the pace and 2-wide 900 M out, 10Ls down and 4-wide into home straight, was never competitive. (See Racing Incidents.)
10 9 LOK WAH SUCCESS (CB408) H K Yim -- Slowly away, was always outpaced and was never better than 8Ls off the pace at any stage.
11 12 FAT CHOY TREASURE (BV156) W M Lai -- Disputed lead out 2-wide until 800 M out, weakening in 3rd place when 3Ls down at top of home straight, continued to fade out.
12 11 KNOWLEDGE IS POWER (CC179) K C Tsang -- Always tended to hang out, 6Ls off the pace in 6th place 800 M out, soon off the bridle and struggling turning into home straight, finished tailed off down centre of track.
