1 6 FLAMING RABBIT (H257) L Hewitson SR/XB Soon led, took them along at a pace slower than standard, continued on well passing 400M, held off pursuing rivals comfortably over final stages.
2 11 FIND MY LOVE (H110) M L Yeung H/TT From draw 1 moved up to track leaders, angled out 450M to challenge, closed off well to go 2nd near 100M but couldn't quite get to the winner.
3 3 SAUVESTRE (E315) L Ferraris TT Pressed forward to be racing outside the lead, tried hard on straightening but not going the pace to challenge leader, kept on steadily to hold 3rd.
4 1 HOWDEEPISYOURLOVE (H093) H Bowman -- Taken back from wide draw, waited with near the rear, brought wide to challenge early straight, closed off well under top weight, just missed 3rd.
5 7 GALAXY WITNESS (G110) C Y Ho B- Jumped only fairly, recovered to a midfield position along the inside, 5th at 400M, kept on steadily towards the line, always held by leaders.
6 9 CALIFORNIA TEN (E045) A Badel B/TT Not hurried after the start, dropped back to race at the rear, finished off moderately final 400M, not reach leaders.
7 5 A PAL (G393) K C Leung CP/TT Held up 3-wide in midfield, gave limited response when driven out top of straight. No threat to leaders. (Jockey : his mount did not appreciate the "Good To Yielding" track conditions.)
8 8 SUPER WIN DRAGON (E253) C L Chau V/TT Jumped fast, soon restrained to race in midfield 4Ls back, ran on one paced in the straight, never a winning threat.
9 12 BRAVEHEARTS (H389) M Dee XB1/TT1 Slow to begin, settled towards the rear racing along the fence, 6Ls to make up 400M but lacked a finishing response, ran past beaten horses only.
10 13 AMAZING VICTORY (G123) K Teetan -- Pushed along after the start to go forward, steadied 1300M then continued to race keenly through the early and middle stages, left without a finishing effort in the straight, never dangerous.
11 4 FLYING ACE (G045) Z Purton B Jumped only fairly, raced keenly behind midfield, was steadied away from the heels of a rival for some distance near 800M, 3-wide making the turn for home, unable to finish the race off as well as expected.
