1 11 GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) H W Lai B/XB/TT Driven along far side in 4th just over 3Ls off the speed, settled for the spot around the bend, ran on doggedly to gain upper hand over 100 M out, just held on to the line. (Questioned for improved performance.)
2 14 CRYSTAL (CE209) P H Lo B Niggled at early but slow to muster, settled in midfield to straight, ran on under pressure to miss by a narrow margin.
3 4 PACKING SUPREME (CK198) D Beadman H Began with others, settled in forward of midfield but lost position approaching home bend, remained similar into straight but fought on well to snatch 3rd late.
4 6 BUCCANEER (CH214) Z Purton -- Settled towards rear, remained in last few into straight, held up behind runners until after 300 M, ran on well to be nearest at finish.
5 7 COUNTRY MAGIC (CH069) M Chadwick TT Prominent briefly, gradually settled in midfield, made steady headway between runners in straight, nearest at finish.
6 9 NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) E Saint-Martin -- Quickly taken back from the widest barrier after jump, remained well behind into straight, produced good late impression inside final 200 M to be nearest at finish over an apparently insufficient trip.
7 2 DARPANA (CK256) Y T Cheng B1/TT1 Settled on rails in rear of midfield, dropped slightly further back around home bend, given reminders turning in, ran on to produce good late impression despite baulked inside 200 M.
8 1 EASY AHEAD (CK212) T H So -- Began moderately, picked up steadily far side to settle just better than midfield in 5th, kept on steadily at the one pace without threatening in straight.
9 13 MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) M W Leung PC-/B2/TT Settled well back, made steady headway down inside of straight, did not find much room closing stages. (Reported to be not fully tested.)
10 5 THUNDER FLASH (CG270) G Mosse TT Close up, held slender lead on rails around the bend, gained a length's advantage briefly over 200 M out, soon found no extra and headed.
11 12 RARE TREASURE (CH150) D Whyte -- Raced wide without cover in worse than midfield, widest runner turning in, kept on same pace down centre of straight without quickening.
12 8 WINE WIN (CG018) M L Yeung B Close up in 3rd on heels of leaders most of way until finding no extra 200 M out.
13 10 WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) K C Leung -- Began well from a wide draw, soon ridden to join leaders, disputed lead around the bend and into straight, kept on until fading under pressure 200 M out.
14 3 HAPPY SEVEN (CK155) C K Tong -- Always struggling wide in last few, never seen with a chance.
