2 4 KASI FARASI (B385) K H Chan B1 Settled down 3-wide in midfield, finished off well in the straight to go 2nd near 50M, not reach winner.
3 8 SNOWALOT (E397) L Hewitson B Reserved towards the rear racing along the 3-path, 5Ls to make up top of straight, stayed on moderately to go 3rd just before line but never a threat to first two.
4 9 E RAINBOW (G314) K Teetan TT Chased leaders in 3rd, kept on steadily in the straight but not going the pace to challenge first two. Claimed 4th in a photo.
5 1 E BROTHER (E266) S De Sousa B/TT Went forward vying for lead on outside, emerged as leader 700M, fought on early straight but unable to hold off winner near 150M, faded late stages to finish 5th. (Jockey : lay in in the straight, difficult to ride out.)
6 11 FLAMING EAGLE (G108) A Badel PC/TT Jumped only fairly, held up 2-wide in midfield, responded fairly turning for home and never going the pace to challenge.
7 5 DIVINE ERA (D507) K C Leung TT Vied for early lead along inside, in 2nd spot making home turn, fought hard for the lead early straight, couldn't sustain run passing 200M, faded towards the line.

11 6 GO GO GO (H196) L Currie H1/TT Slow to begin, settled down behind midfield along the fence, came under pressure home turn, soon weakened out of contention.
12 7 MASTER OF ALL (H177) H T Mo -- Dropped back, ended up in last, scrubbed along halfway but couldn't muster, lost touch with rivals home turn, never in the picture. (Jockey : reluctant to stretch out middle stages.)
