1 1 LUMINOUS (CE300) K C Leung -- Pressed on from wide gate and easily slipped into box-seat on rails from 1200 M to final bend, dug in well to lead about 30 M out and just held on.
2 12 NORDIC STAR (CH302) M L Yeung TT Eased back, clipped heels about 900 M out when 5Ls back in 8th and same turning in, finished off very strongly but line came a stride or two early.
3 3 KENOBE (CH222) M Du Plessis XB Worse than midfield as usual, 6Ls back in 9th at 600 M, 5-wide (widest) off final curve, rattled home strongly and only just failed.
4 11 FAIR WIN (CE027) C K Tong B Scorched to lead by 4Ls about 1300 M out, soon steadied the pace and 1L clear from 800 M to final turn, 2Ls up at the 200 M, lost a place inside final 30 M.
5 7 ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) G Mosse -- Taken back from wide gate, 6Ls or 7Ls back in 10th until home straight, stayed on well along the inside, never nearer, much improved performance.
6 9 DASHING THUNDER (CD080) C W Wong -- Trapped 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls back in 4th and pressed closer off final turn, one-paced but not a bad finish considering the tough trip.
7 8 MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) E Saint-Martin CP 3-back along fence in midfield about 4Ls from the front from 1200 M to home turn, remained in midfield and no threat to principals.
8 2 BLUE SKY (CJ289) O Doleuze PC/H Squeezed out at start, 2-wide and 5Ls back around midfield at 1000 M, fractionally closer turning in but never likely to improve much.
9 10 SUPREME GOLD (CH205) W M Lai TT Over-raced at first, 3Ls back in 5th in middle stages and same entering home straight, outpaced from then on.
10 4 ADD THE FUN (CD308) Z Purton B 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1100 M and still on right on terms off last bend, sorely lacking a turn of foot and well beaten by the 200 M. (Questioned for poor performance.)
11 6 WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) Y T Cheng V1/TT 9Ls back in rear at 1000 M and still last entering home straight, always well behind.
12 5 DIAMOND ERA (CE040) H W Lai B/TT Always rearward and at least 6Ls from the speed, found nothing in the straight. (Fractured cannon bone.)
