1 12 HAPPY WINNING (CB302) W M Lai PC-/TT- From a wide gate, easily took up a position after the 800 M at the leaders' girth. Settled nicely and showed good dash after 400 M, scored well.
2 10 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) Y T Cheng -- 1 out, 1 back for the major part of the race, looked likely from the 200 M, but its run faded inside 100 M.
3 1 FOURSQUARE (CE081) E Saint-Martin SR1 Settled in a handy position early, forced from after the 800 M to race, 4 wide, no cover, ran on well when asked for an effort inside the 400 M.
4 8 WIN FORTUNE (CB338) D Whyte B/TT Raced behind the leader, came along the fence in straight. Only plugged away in the latter stages.
5 9 MAVERICK (CE199) C K Tong B- Well back in the race, some 2Ls from the rearward runners. Shifted out continually in the straight, made nice ground.
6 3 CHAMP DE UNION (CB001) S Dye B/TT Crossed to the lead on the fence without undue pressure. For the 800 M set even tempo, then was quickly overhauled after turning for home.
7 5 HUANG PU DRAGON (CE120) G Schofield SR1/CO1/H1 Travelled midfield, 1 off, 3Ls from leaders at the 700 M. Hung in over latter stages, found wanting after the 200 M.
8 6 ONE MORE ROUND (CC135) M Rodd -- Not the best away, travelled well off the rails, 6Ls from the front runners, never made a yard in the run home.
9 11 WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) K S Yu -- Jumped badly, wide throughout at the tail of the field, widest runner, no cover, extremely tough run.
10 4 MR GENKI (CD184) F Coetzee CP/TT Began awkwardly, lost ground, hard ridden to take up slightly worse than midfield position. Raced along the fence, but never in the hunt. (See Racing Incidents.)
11 7 SUPREME STAR (CA206) G Mosse B Settled 3 wide, midfield, ridden along to maintain its position. About 3Ls from the lead, did nothing in the straight.
