1 | 8 | AMAZING VICTORY (CC085) | G Mosse | -- | Raced about 1L off the pace on the fence until about 600 M out, went about half a length in front at top of home straight, 2Ls clear 200 M out, pulled further clear, easily. |
2 | 4 | GRANDIOSO (CA327) | O Doleuze | TT | Caught 4-wide and 10Ls off the pace 1000 M out, 6Ls down and 3-wide turning for home, ran on well to be nearest at the finish. |
3 | 2 | LUCKY TRIO (CB199) | S Dye | -- | 4Ls off the speed on the fence in 4th place 800 M out, similarly placed but a bit wider on straightening, ran on quite well to be nearest at the finish. |
4 | 7 | PLENTY OF LUCK (CA308) | S K Sit | -- | Best away but soon restrained to sit 8Ls off the lead and 2-wide 800 M out, 3-wide into home straight and still 8Ls down, ran on well enough to be nearest at the finish. (See Racing Incidents.) |
5 | 10 | FLAMENCO STAR (BS321) | D Dunn | B- | No speed early on, on fence 10Ls off the pace as early as 1000 M out, 8Ls down turning for home, made some moderate headway through beaten rivals. |
6 | 3 | EASTERN PURPLE (CB317) | G Schofield | B | Raced 2 and 3-wide and about 5Ls or 6Ls off the pace until the home straight, very one-paced from then on. |
7 | 6 | JOLLY GAINS (CB232) | D Whyte | -- | Disputed early lead racing 2 and 3-wide, went in front by about half a length from the 800 M, headed by winner about 600 M out and was a length down entering straight, weakened steadily. |
8 | 5 | SUPER FAST (BV327) | F Coetzee | B | About 10Ls off the speed and 3-wide at the 1000 M, was without cover in parts of the back straight, 4-wide turning for home when 6Ls down, posed no sort of threat. |
9 | 1 | COMPANION (CA273) | W C Marwing | -- | Awkwardly away, jockey appeared uncomfortable with saddle position, 10Ls off the pace and 2-wide 900 M out, 10Ls down and 4-wide into home straight, was never competitive. (See Racing Incidents.) |
10 | 9 | LOK WAH SUCCESS (CB408) | H K Yim | -- | Slowly away, was always outpaced and was never better than 8Ls off the pace at any stage. |
11 | 12 | FAT CHOY TREASURE (BV156) | W M Lai | -- | Disputed lead out 2-wide until 800 M out, weakening in 3rd place when 3Ls down at top of home straight, continued to fade out. |
12 | 11 | KNOWLEDGE IS POWER (CC179) | K C Tsang | -- | Always tended to hang out, 6Ls off the pace in 6th place 800 M out, soon off the bridle and struggling turning into home straight, finished tailed off down centre of track. |
