1 | 10 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | W M Lai | B | Travelled well 3-back on rails in mid-division between 3Ls and 4Ls from pace through to last bend, quickened up to lead 100 M out, all out to hang on. |
2 | 11 | FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) | M Chadwick | SR/TT | Lost ground at start, about 5Ls back in 9th at halfway, 4-wide no cover from the 600 M, finished off very strongly, just failed, vastly improved run. |
3 | 3 | EVERGREEN (CE106) | O Doleuze | B | 4-back the rails in 8th or so about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, shuffled back a little before home turn, still finished off strongly along the rails for 3rd. |
4 | 9 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | M W Leung | -- | 8Ls off pace in rear at the 1000 M, still at the tail but a little closer off last turn, finished off well down the centre of the track and not far off in 4th. |
5 | 1 | AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) | M L Yeung | B | 4Ls back in midfield at the 1000 M, 3-wide no cover from the 500 M, briefly threatened when 1L back in 4th at the 200 M, run peaked. |
6 | 7 | TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) | B Prebble | B | Slowest out, taken back, one from rear 7Ls off pace at halfway, made some late headway but never quite troubled the principals. |
7 | 6 | STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Pressed forward from wide gate to be 2-wide and 1L off pace from 1200 M to 500 M, all out to be upsides 200 M out, swamped late on. |
8 | 4 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | C K Tong | B | Best away but handed up the lead to box-seat at 1200 M and relaxed on fence in 3rd until the last corner, didn't find enough on the bridle. |
9 | 8 | CLOVIS (CH044) | K T Yeung | B/XB/H | Taken back to race 6Ls back in 10th at the 1000 M, still with the most of the field ahead of him turning for home, kept chasing them. |
10 | 5 | DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) | C W Wong | SR | Broke well from wide gate to cross to lead by the 1200 M, 1L clear through to the last bend, headed around the furlong pole, yielded ground. |
11 | 2 | HAPPY MASTER (CE050) | K L Chui | SR | Handily placed 2-wide and 2Ls back in 5th at the 1000 M, a little further back in midfield off last curve, dropped out quite tamely. |
12 | 12 | NEW IDEA (CK007) | Y T Cheng | B-/CP1 | Slow out, in front rank but caught 3-wide no cover through first half of the race, 1L back in 2nd on straightening, soon fizzled out. |
