1 7 PROSPEROUS (CL054) Y T Cheng -- Missed the start settling midfield 2 deep with cover. Swung about 4 wide turning for home, steered out into clear running near the 300m and went to the wire full of running to score a strong win.

3 5 NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) K C Leung B/TT Rallied early to camp on the back of the leaders along the rail. Fenced up in the straight and kept on soundly after having every chance.
4 4 EMPIRE CITY (CL169) C K Tong H1 Slow to begin settling behind midfield the fence. Had some difficulty obtaining clear running near the 150m, went to the post one paced thereafter.

7 3 LUCKY BOY (CJ296) C W Wong B/TT Ridden along early to take up a forward position, then was settled to take up a trailing position near the 600m, 4 wide with cover. Weakened in the run to the line.
8 11 MIGHTY FEELING (CL025) J Lloyd TT Pressed forward and assumed the fence after the 500m whilst vying for the lead. Faded over the final 200m.
