2 1 HONG KONG BET (C082) Z Purton TT Picked up under pressure to 2L back rail in 5th, became 4th in similar position rounding home bend and closer up into straight, fought on steadily without threatening.
3 5 ALCARI (A354) J Moreira V Well there early, restrained back to forward of midfield in 6th, came under pressure rounding home bend and saved ground turning in, kept on well for a placing.
4 8 TELECOM SMART (E140) M Chadwick TT Ridden along after slowly away, remained well back on the rail, made steady progress under pressure in straight to be nearest finish.
5 6 FAMILY FOLKS (D505) A Hamelin CP Not far off, 1L back in 3rd from the 800 metres, shifted 3-wide rounding home bend and wide into straight, kept on at the one pace.
6 7 STOICISM (E223) K Teetan -- Broke well 3-wide amongst the leaders gradually drifting back to forward of midfield, kept on one pace in straight.
7 9 SHOUSON (C326) K C Leung B Settled at the back from the widest gate, trailed the field until headway approaching home turn, swung very wide into the straight, ran on steadily down the centre of the track.

9 10 SMART LEADER (B456) H W Lai B/TT Broke well from the one draw but dropped quickly to just worse than midfield in 9th despite niggling along, gained closer to 8th passing the 850 metres and saved ground turning for home, made no further impression.
10 3 STANLEY PARK (C446) C L Chau B Began well from a wide gate, ridden positively 4-wide to join race leader 800 metres out, unable to sustain rounding home bend and dropped out tamely shortly after straightening.
