2 | 10 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | Y T Cheng | SR/CP | Soon led on fence, always tended to hang out, about half a length clear from 1200 M to home straight and same at 200 M, headed at 100 M, no extra. |
3 | 5 | FLYING SUCCESS (CB113) | C Williams | -- | 6Ls behind in 9th at 1200 M, 5Ls down in 8th when 2-wide at 800 M, 4Ls behind off final bend, ran on well late to be nearest at finish. |
4 | 2 | KONRAD THE GREAT (CB059) | C Soumillon | SR-/V1 | Detached in rear on fence 13Ls off pace at 1200 M, 6Ls behind in 11th entering straight when 6-wide (widest), finished off strongly but never nearer. |
5 | 4 | DANEHILL WARRIOR (CB452) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Keen early on, half a length 3rd out 2-wide at 1100 M, settled better 2Ls down in 4th at 800 M and into home straight, one-paced thereafter. |
6 | 1 | SIR OCTAVIUS (CB427) | D Whyte | -- | Had the run of the race in 3rd or 4th from 1200 M to home straight, 1L down in 3rd and with every chance 300 M out, failed to pick up. |
7 | 6 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | G Mosse | B | Slow away, 4Ls behind in 7th when 2-wide at 1100 M, 3-wide off final bend when 3Ls down in midfield, outpaced. |
8 | 3 | SHABU SHABU (CB290) | S Dye | -- | Awkwardly away, 8Ls off pace in 10th on fence at 1100 M, 3-wide into home straight when 6Ls down in 10th, never had much room on the run-in and not fully tested, nearest at finish. |
9 | 8 | CHERISHED (CB160) | M Rodd | P | 8Ls off pace when one from rear and 2-wide at 1100 M, 3-wide into stretch when 5Ls down in 9th, made some late ground but never troubled principals. |
10 | 12 | STRIKE TO WIN (CD361) | H W Lai | B/TT | 3-wide without cover when a neck down in 2nd at 1100 M, 2-wide and about half a length down from 1000 M to 200 M out, swamped close home. |
11 | 11 | FANTASTICO (CB167) | C W Wong | B | Keen early on, 2-wide and 2Ls down in 5th at 1200 M, left 3-wide without cover at 1000 M until turning for 4-wide and 3Ls down in 5th, soon faded out. |
