1 | 13 | ONLY YOU (CD210) | B Prebble | -- | Raced in 4th place out 2-wide 3Ls off pace at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 3rd at the home turn, disputed lead over 200 M out, asserted close home. |
2 | 7 | SHINING DAY (CE163) | F Coetzee | CP/TT | Couldn't lead, about half a length off pace in 2nd out 2-wide at 1000 M, same turning for home, disputed lead with winner over 200 M out, couldn't go with winner inside final 100 M. |
3 | 3 | SUNNY DESERT (CB346) | E Saint-Martin | B/SR | Always 3-wide no cover, settled about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed in midfield from 1000 M to home turn, stayed on quite well for a place despite tough trip. |
4 | 11 | MADE IN HONGKONG (CD139) | W M Lai | B | 5Ls off pace in 8th at 1000 M, same turning for home, stayed on fairly to be nearest at the finish. |
5 | 5 | VINCERE (CE324) | Y T Cheng | -- | 7Ls back and 2-wide in rear group at 1000 M, 5Ls down in 11th taking home turn, stayed on at the same pace. |
6 | 10 | ESPRIT D'OR (CD295) | C Brown | TT | In rear about 8Ls down in 12th at 1000 M, improved out 4- wide no cover at 600 M to be 4-wide and 4Ls down off home turn, about 2Ls down in 5th at 200 M, couldn't sustain effort. |
7 | 2 | FAVOURITE RETURN (CE104) | H W Lai | -- | Bounded in air as gates opened, 4Ls behind lead and 2-wide in 5th down backstretch, 3Ls in 5th on straightening, soon outpaced. |
8 | 8 | DANSKE VERY MUCH (CD394) | G Mosse | SR | Over-raced early on but still well placed on fence 2Ls off speed in 3rd from 1000 M to home turn, found very little under pressure. |
9 | 1 | LUCKY DICE (CB101) | G Schofield | B | Lost some ground at start, worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace when 3-wide with cover down backstretch, 4Ls down in mid-division at 400 M, one-paced. |
10 | 12 | WIN FORTUNE (CB338) | D Whyte | B/TT | Soon led on fence, never clear by more than 1L until home turn, headed by quinella pair about 300 M out, faded quickly. |
11 | 6 | GOOD TRIO (CD029) | R Fradd | B | On fence 7Ls off pace in 10th at 1000 M, 6Ls down in 12th off final bend, never dangerous. |
12 | 9 | WINNING SMILE (CC177) | M Rodd | -- | On fence 4Ls off speed in 6th from 1000 M to home turn, soon well behind. |
13 | 14 | ALL OUR WAY (CE217) | M W Leung | -- | Never a factor. |
14 | 4 | STRIKE TO WIN (CD361) | K H Chan | B/H/TT | Slowest away, under pressure to lie up as far out as 1200 M, soon well behind. |
