1 | 8 | PROGRESSING TIMES (CC231) | M Nunes | TT | Slow to begin, worse than midfield about 5Ls back early, about 4Ls down in 8th off home turn, picked up well to just lead 50 M out, won on bob of heads. |
2 | 10 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | O Doleuze | SR | Close-up when hindered at 1100 M and keen at early on, about 2Ls back in 4th out 2-wide until home turn, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, stayed on well but lost out on bob of heads. |
3 | 1 | GANBARIA (CE052) | C K Tong | B | Led by a neck on fence at 1000 M, maintained similar margin until being headed about 250 M out, stayed on fairly well and regained a place on the line. |
4 | 5 | BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) | D Whyte | TT | 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 800 M, sent on to lead 250 M out but headed about 50 M out, just missed out on a place. |
5 | 12 | CHERISHED (CB160) | F Coetzee | P | In rear bunch about 6Ls off speed at halfway, 5Ls down in 9th turning for home, ran on fairly well late, nearest at finish. |
6 | 6 | CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) | H W Lai | TT | Hampered early on, hanging out at 1000 M when holding the box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd, still just 1L back in 3rd at the 200 M but one-paced late. |
7 | 11 | PROFIT HILL (CE274) | H K Yim | B | Slowly away but recovered on fence to be 2Ls off pace when steadied at 900 M, 3Ls back in 5th at top of homestretch, always held by principals. |
8 | 9 | PALIO KING (CG073) | G Mosse | TT | 3Ls back in midfield early on (more prominent than normal), 4Ls back in 7th off final bend, one-paced on the run-in. |

10 | 7 | GRASS HOPPER (CD050) | Y T Cheng | B-/TT- | Always 3-wide no cover in midfield roughly 3Ls off speed until home turn, found nothing under pressure. |
11 | 2 | GOLDEN STRIDE (CA343) | K T Yeung | B2/TT | Slowest away, in rear group but with cover at least 5Ls from the front until home turn, posed not the slightest danger. |
