1 1 GALLANT HUSSAR (CJ017) J Lloyd B Settled in midfield, soon came to challenge after straightening, ran on well to take charge over 100 M out, won going away.
2 8 SEIZE THE DAY (CJ152) Y T Cheng B Began moderately, ridden along in midfield far side before improving to 1L 3rd coming out of back straight when 3-wide without cover, similar turning for home, no answer to winner's late burst of speed inside final 200 M, plugged on.
3 4 HIGH NOTE (CK081) D Beadman B/SR1 Broke well from a low draw, held slender advantage until headed by eventual winner over 100 M out when found no extra.
4 5 SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) B Prebble B/SR Never far off settling in 4th to straight, could only produce moderate headway without quickening.
5 14 KING OF TURF (CJ102) M L Yeung BO Towards rear, picked up nicely under pressure inside final 200 M, did best work late.

11 3 LIGHTNING SUCCESS (CK122) B Doyle SR/B1 Sluggish at start travelling in last few, given reminders approaching home turn, made no impression in straight.
12 7 HEAVENLY POWERS (CK141) C K Tong CP-/B1/H1 Soon dropped to last few, never a danger.
