1 3 ROCKET PROUD (CL392) M Chadwick B/TT Midfield, 4Ls behind the leader, dashed home very well and scored.
2 13 GORGEOUS LIFE (CK327) K C Leung B/XB/TT Began fairly, settled 6Ls off the leader on fence, made good headway when clear near furlong to claim a close 2nd but too late. (Questioned for running and riding, see incident report.)
3 1 DARK SECRET (M213) Z Purton SR/TT Mid-back on the fence, settled 5Ls behind the leader, made ground on center of track, looked very likely but run-ended 100M.
4 4 SCENT OF OSMANTHUS (CL341) M Du Plessis -- Midfield, 4 wide without cover throughout, made ground but not good enough to match with place-getters.
5 8 SUPER GENTLEMAN (CK365) M L Yeung B/TT Handy but 3 wide without cover throughout, stayed on one-pace after straightening.
6 5 CAGA SPIRIT (CK287) T Clark B- Eased back, settled 3 wide with cover, swung widest and made limited ground.

8 9 LOTUS LOVE (CL155) H W Lai V2 Began fairly, driven hard until 1100M to cross and led on its own, kicked away after straightening, however weakened last furlong.
9 10 PRIMROSE BOY (M409) M Zahra B1 Mid-back, settled 3 wide with cover, swung wide, ran on only fairly.
10 11 KING OF FISH II (CL264) W Pike B Rolled forward, stalked behind the pace without cover, weakened gradually after straightening.
11 12 THINK BIG (CK295) K C Ng H/SR/TT Driven hard forward, got cover 1100M, under pressure 500M, one-paced, flattened last furlong.
12 7 KIMBER FORTUNE (CK162) C K Tong B/TT Eased back to cross from wide gate, never a factor.
