1 8 SOUTH BREEZE (CG241) G Mosse -- Began well but was checked near the 1400 M. Settled midfield, 1 off with cover but was shuffled back to last rounding the home turn, came wide in the straight and unleashed good finishing effort.
2 6 ROCKET POWER (CH136) C Soumillon TT Pressed to race outside the leader and stayed on well.
3 9 BARRACUDA (CB320) P H Lo -- Vigorously ridden to make the speed, stayed on soundly.
4 10 SWEET BABY (CG294) D Whyte -- Raced on the back of the leader, along the fence, ranged up after the 200 M, but faded on its run.
5 2 ABLE KNIGHT (CE079) D Beadman H/TT Ridden back from a wide gate and settled just behind midfield, the fence. Worked to the line reasonably and experienced some traffic problems near the post. (See Racing Incidents.)
6 11 FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) W M Lai B Was checked near the 1100 M while racing near the rear. Never a factor.
7 3 TRIUMPH (CC214) C W Wong V Went forward early to race outside the two leaders but was caught wide and without cover throughout.
8 7 NICKU NICKU (CC372) Y T Cheng B/SR Proved difficult to settle, early while parked 3 deep with cover, 1L back. Failed to run on and tired quickly after the 200 M.
9 1 SHANGDONG SCHOLAR (CG321) A Delpech XB Overraced early while racing, 1 pair back, 2 wide with cover. Weakened in the run home. (Blood in trachea, to trial.)
10 5 FLYING WIN (CG002) S K Sit B Tailed the field throughout and became detached. (Mucopus, to trial.)
