2 5 PEARL OF INDIA (CD298) F Coetzee B Always in front rank, 1L down in 2nd off final bend, bumped 4 times by MULTI KING inside final 300 M when disputing lead, finished 3rd but placed 2nd after inquiry and objection.
3 10 MULTI KING (CH218) K L Chui TT Crossed to lead on fence at 900 M but always hung out, shifted out into PEARL OF INDIA four times in final 300 M when disputing lead, finished 2nd but placed 3rd after inquiry and objection.
4 9 MR FLOODLIGHT (CG257) S K Sit B Eased back from wide gate, on fence 7Ls back in 9th at the 900 M, ridden along when 6Ls down off home bend, stuck on dourly to finish 4th, nearest at finish.
5 2 DELIGHTFUL WIN (CC154) H W Lai TT2 Slow start, worse than midfield about 6Ls off pace on fence at 1000 M, 4Ls off pace making home turn, stayed on at the one gallop and didn't really threaten to place.
6 8 NATURAL FATCHOY (CG282) E Saint-Martin CP 2-wide and 4Ls back in 7th at 1000 M and in a similar position on straightening, finished off at the one pace.
7 3 SUPER CEE JAY (CG289) D Nikolic B Nice position between 2Ls and 3Ls off speed in 4th or 5th until the final turn, still with place hopes at the 200 M but weakened late on. (Mucus.)
8 11 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) P H Lo PC-/B2/H One from rear about 7Ls off pace at the 800 M, same margin back and off the bit at the home turn, plugged on past a few tired rivals.
9 1 STEEL NERVES (CG320) G Mosse B Over-raced a little towards rear about 6Ls behind leader down the backstretch, not much closer entering stretch, plugged on down centre of track at the same pace. (Mucus.)
10 12 SEVENS HEAVEN (CE175) M Nunes B/TT Always on the pace, out 2-wide a neck back in 2nd at 1200 M, tended to over-race, about 2Ls back in 3rd taking home turn, faded out steadily. (Blood in trachea.)
11 7 KAISER'S PRIZE (CD350) S Dye -- Slowest away and soon 8Ls last, about 6Ls down in 12th off final turn, never dangerous.
12 4 CHINA HERO (CH040) D Whyte H1 3-wide with cover about 3Ls back in 5th until the 1000 M, left with cover from the 800 M and under pressure when still 3Ls back off final turn, soon gave ground.
13 13 DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) M W Leung B/TT Never any better than midfield, 3-wide with cover about 6Ls behind pace at 1000 M, 5Ls down and under pressure in 9th off final bend, made no impression.
14 6 STARFINDER (CH074) C W Wong TT Poor effort, struggled to muster early speed, 6Ls down in 12th at the 1000 M, lost ground on circle and became detached in rear making home turn, dropped out.
