1 5 MASTER ABLE (CD349) W M Lai B2 Soon led on fence but keen, headed at 1200 M but a neck clear at 800 M and skipped 2Ls ahead entering home straight, tired inside final 200 M but did just enough to hang on.
2 7 MADE IN HONGKONG (CD139) O Doleuze B Always handily placed on fence about 2Ls or 3Ls off pace in 4th until halfway, 2Ls down in 2nd taking home turn, rallied well late but post came a few strides too soon.
3 9 ESPRIT D'OR (CD295) D Whyte TT Slow break, switched from wide to race 3-back on fence in midfield about 3Ls behind speed at 800 M, one-paced in stretch losing lengths on quinella pair but enough for 3rd in a weak race.
4 3 FUN CRUISER (CD167) C W Wong B Worse than midfield about 5Ls off speed early, niggled along at halfway, 6Ls down and still toiling entering home straight, flattered by finishing position.
5 12 FIGS (CE141) M Nunes B-/P1 Never travelled very well in 11th a good margin from the speed, still 7Ls down turning for home, ran on past a few very laboured rivals late but still the same margin from leaders.
6 6 LUCKY YEARS (CD331) G Mosse PC 2Ls down in 4th when 2-wide at 1000 M, lost position on the circle and was a hard ridden 6Ls back in midfield entering home straight, didn't find much off the bit.
7 4 DURABLE (CE190) F Coetzee B1 5-wide no cover on first bend, gained cover 3-wide at 1000 M when about 3Ls back in mid-division, 4Ls down in 5th and pressured turning for home, plugged on like a very one-paced stayer.
8 11 TOUCH DOWN (CB013) R Fradd B-/PC1/TT- More prominent than usual early on in midfield, 3-wide with cover and 4Ls down at halfway, struggling to remain in touch taking home turn, continued to lose ground.
9 10 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) A Delpech B-/P2 No speed early and soon raced one from rear, 6Ls down in 13th at 800 M, further behind taking final turn, weakened out.
10 2 FAIRPLAY (CC258) M Odendaal -- Always caught 3-wide no cover and pressed on to dispute lead at about halfway, soon lost position and 3Ls down and fading fast entering homestretch, dropped out.
11 14 BAYVIEW LAD (CC148) Y T Cheng B/TT Totally blew the start by about 10Ls having been fractious and getting head on wrong side of partition, never on meaningful terms.
12 8 MODERN PROSPECT (CC070) E Saint-Martin -- Always towards rear but caught 4-wide no cover at halfway when 6Ls off pace, further back entering home straight and dropped out.
13 13 MASONIC TREASURE (CE294) P H Lo B-/PC1 Pressed on out 2-wide for a narrow lead at 1200 M, began to retreat about 700 M out and very quickly beaten, unacceptable effort.
14 1 DANCING FAITH (CE297) K W Tsui CP1 4Ls back in midfield with cover until halfway, sucked back through field very quickly from 700 M, finished in his own time, unacceptable effort.
