1 3 ROYAL FLUSH (CK184) Z Purton V1/TT1 Went forward and quickly crossed to the fence, had a commanding lead and opened up a 3Ls gap inside 400 M, kept on strongly to the line under hands and heels riding. Won with plenty in hand.
2 6 LEADING CITY (CK298) M Du Plessis -- Bounded in the air and lost ground at the start, soon recovered to race in a handy position better than midfield, responded well under pressure but couldn't get close to the runaway winner.
3 12 YOUNG WITNESS (CK185) K C Leung B1 Always handy in the early stages, couldn't pick up with the front two and plugged on for a distant 3rd.
4 5 HEALTHY BLUEBERRY (CK222) Y T Cheng -- Slow to begin, crept closer to be 5Ls down in midfield halfway, stayed on one-paced and inclined to drift out in the run to the line.
5 10 SUPREME WIN (CK204) B Prebble -- Unable to shift in from a wide barrier, gradually taken back to the rear and crossed, ran on well in straight and was the only horse that could make significant ground from off the pace.
6 1 BE GRATEFUL (CK194) R Fradd -- In mid-division 5Ls off the pace, taken wide for a run passing 500 M, plugged on at same pace and had no extra inside 150 M.
7 7 OTTIMO (CK238) C W Wong -- Slow to begin, given a patient ride in the rear and had over 10Ls to make up passing 400 M, made some headway from off the pace going past beaten runners.
8 8 PLENTIFUL (CK319) C K Tong -- Behind mid-division 8Ls back and raced a shade too freely, gradually outpaced turning for home and had nothing left in the finish.
9 9 SHIBALA (CK230) W C Marwing B/TT1 Ridden forward to be prominent behind the early pace, found nothing when asked and faded away rapidly inside 300 M. (Lame right hind leg. Mucus.)
10 4 AMERICAN GLORY (CK209) W M Lai -- In midfield but struggled to keep up making the home turn, beaten passing 400 M.
11 2 NEW KID IN TOWN (CK195) B Doyle B1 Towards the rear from the outset, still green and was outpaced from halfway, never in contention.
