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. |
7 | 6 | HUMONGUS (CJ265) | T Angland | B/TT | Eased back to cross from wide gate, settled 7Ls behind the pace, peeled wide, ran on only fairly. |
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. |
13 | 14 | DR BULLION (M016) | W M Lai | -- | Rolled forward, settled 3 back on the fence, soon faded after straightening. |
14 | 2 | PAPAS (CK274) | J McDonald | V-/CP1/TT | Midfield, settled 3 wide with cover, under pressure 800 M, soon flattened after straightening. |
