1 | 5 | PRETTY QUEEN PRAWN (E389) | A Hamelin | H/SR/TT | Jumped well, chased leader, responded well to hit lead 200M, had enough to hold off fast finishing 2nd late. |
2 | 2 | CALIFORNIA DEEPLY (G451) | L Ferraris | TT | From draw 1 obtained a position behind midfield, switched wide passing 400M, closed off final 200M quickest, held by diminishing neck at the line. |
3 | 3 | HARMONY N BLESSED (E061) | H Bowman | XB-/B1/TT | From draw 12 moved up to track leaders in 3rd spot, kept on steadily final 300M, not pace to challenge first 2 but comfortably held 3rd. |
4 | 1 | SPECIAL M (E271) | K Teetan | PC/TT | Unable to slot in form draw 10, caught racing wide no cover in midfield, responded mildly under top weight passing 300M to finish a non-threatening 4th. |
5 | 4 | GORGEOUS VITALITY (G051) | Z Purton | -- | Began well, took up a midfield spot 4Ls off the pace, kept on without threatening in the straight. (Jockey concerned his horse's action after dipping near 150M / No Vet findings.) |
6 | 6 | FLYING DRAGON (E360) | L Hewitson | -- | Dropped back to race near last, 6Ls to make up 400M, made his move on inside, checked 150M, kept on fairly final stages. |

8 | 11 | ISLAND GOLDEN (H018) | S De Sousa | TT | Restrained to race towards the rear, switched wide turning into straight, gave limited response, never near to challenge. |
9 | 7 | SUPER AXIOM (E105) | H N Wong | H/P/TT | Hustled to the front, led them at good pace, caught 200M out, weakened towards the finish. |
10 | 8 | HIGH RISE SOLDIER (C511) | C Y Ho | B | Settled towards the rear, 7Ls to make up 400M, made no progress in the run home. |
11 | 12 | MAGIC TORONADO (H067) | H W Lai | XB | Outpaced early stages, raced 3-wide at the rear, detached last turning home, found nothing when asked. Never involved. |
12 | 9 | LIFE IS GOOD (H118) | R Maia | XB/TT1 | Raced keenly behind midfield, 3-wide turning for home, soon out of contention. |
