1 6 CASH MONEY (CH030) C W Wong B1/H Best away but handed up early advantage to box-seat from 800 M to home straight, led again 250 M out and always doing just enough to hang on.
2 1 YOUNG ELITE (CJ349) C K Tong -- With cover 4Ls back in mid-division at first, held up from top of stretch to 300 M, ran on well again once clear despite hanging in, couldn't reach winner.
3 14 PEARL HALO (CJ023) M W Leung TT 4-back on fence about 5Ls behind speed from 1000 M to home straight when briefly tight for room, stayed on well along the inner to nick 3rd late.
4 9 NEW IDEA (CK007) M Du Plessis -- 3-back on fence in midfield until straightening, stayed on fairly well but a little one-paced in final 100 M and tipped out of a place close home.
5 7 GIVE WELL (CJ109) Y T Cheng B- Lost ground at the start and 9Ls last at 1000 M, shifted left into clear running 350 M out and let down very strongly in final 200 M, never nearer.
6 13 AMBITIOUS OWNER (CJ106) W M Lai B/TT Crossed from wide gate to set good tempo by 1L on fence at 900 M, 2Ls up off home turn but headed 250 M out and faded nearer the line.
7 5 LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) G Mosse TT Couldn't muster much early pace, towards rear at least 6Ls from the speed through to homestretch, failed to retrieve much late ground.
8 8 KIMBERLEY (CJ295) H W Lai -- Slow to begin, 5-back along the rails in rear at 1000 M, 6Ls down in 10th or so into final section, never troubled principals.
9 4 ENCOSTA DON (CH305) B Prebble B1 Midfield with cover about 5Ls from the speed until the straight, briefly loomed a place chance at the 200 M but unable to sustain the run.
10 11 JOHNSON (CJ305) D Beadman CP1 Always worse than midfield, one from rear about 8Ls behind leaders off final turn, recovered some minor late ground.
11 2 ALL TIME HIGH (CG285) K L Chui CP/XB/TT 3-wide with cover close in 4th or 5th to a strong tempo down back straight, nothing more to offer in the final 400 M.
12 3 BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) K C Leung -- Pressed on from wide gate to race close to strong pace, disputing 2nd at halfway, faded out rapidly from top of straight, unacceptable and to trial. (Questioned for poor performance.)
13 12 WEALTH SYNERGY (CJ133) D Whyte SR1 Always worse than midfield and never better than 7Ls from the lead at any stage, run deemed unacceptable and to trial.
14 10 JUGGERNAUT (CJ019) F Coetzee CP/TT1 Awkward break, raced prominently out 4-wide no cover from wide gate, back-pedalling before last bend and eased down a long way out, to trial.
