1 2 ENTHUSED (CH303) D Whyte -- Fair to begin, raced close to the pace, commenced running from 500 M, picked up speed gradually, finished the final stages with a powerful surge and won impressively.
2 10 SUPERIOR UNIT (CJ045) K L Chui CP/TT Even jump, cruised down centre of track within a length behind the pace-setter, moved up to challenge from 400 M, battled on gamely before outrun by the eventual winner inside last 50 M.
3 11 NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) Y T Cheng -- Bounced out well, allowed to stride on, led the field at a quick tempo from a position 2 off the stand rails, attempted to make all but was overhauled just inside 100 M.
4 5 YELLOW DIAMOND (CD246) C K Tong B A little awkward jump, held running on stand rails, travelled comfortably in a forward position just off the leader, responded well under pressure from 400 M, kept on gamely to finish a creditable 4th.
5 12 ALWAYS GIGGLE (CG086) K T Yeung B- Quickly into stride, pressed on to maintain a better than midfield position, never far off the pace, held up at 300 M and switched inside for a run, finished off the race well.
6 4 ABLE PRINCE (CC348) M Du Plessis CP/TT Average break from a low draw, kicked on to take up running on inside rails, soon racing clear of others, stayed on well before gradually weakened from 150 M.
7 9 PRIME SCORE (CG280) B Prebble B Slightly slow out, settled near the rear towards centre of course about 2 to 3Ls behind leader, didn't have another gear and just held ground in run to line.
8 1 SCINTILLATION (CC228) E Saint-Martin XB/H Reasonable jump from the inside draw, steadied when being shifted to middle of track, ended up further back than usual, made some late ground from 200 M.
9 6 DIM SUM (CH226) D Beadman CP Began with them, crossed to race near the inside rails away from the main group, found little when asked and ran home one paced.
10 3 FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) O Doleuze -- Away evenly, raced in a prominent position just off the pace, under pressure at 300 M, found nothing and dropped right out.
11 7 NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) F Coetzee TT No speed from outset, raced at the rear about 3Ls from the leader with cover, unable to pick up when asked, dropped out in run to line.
12 8 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) H W Lai CP One of the first to jump, soon taken to a forward position close to the pace, slowed down at mid-point, did not respond to jockey's riding and was never competitive.
