1 | 4 | BODACIOUS (CD170) | B Prebble | V | Gifted the box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1000 M to home turn, assumed the lead 300 M out and drew clear final 200 M. |
2 | 12 | SOUTH BREEZE (CG241) | S Dye | -- | Restrained about 7Ls off pace near rear early on, still with 7Ls to make up off final turn in 8th, ran on well to take 2nd inside final 30 M. |
3 | 2 | LUMINOUS (CE300) | C K Tong | -- | Shared 5th and 6th place about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed out 2-wide until home turn, stayed on fairly well to nick a place inside final 50 M. |
4 | 13 | TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) | K W Tsui | B/TT- | Midfield on fence about 6Ls off pace through to final turn, hung out a little under pressure but still finished creditably. |
5 | 3 | ISLAND SPEED (CG202) | H W Lai | B | Best away and disputed lead on fence at 1000 M, same margin clear at top of home straight but headed at 300 M by winner, no extra inside final 50 M and missed out on a place. |
6 | 1 | ABLE STANDARD (CG043) | D Whyte | B/TT | 2-wide and 2Ls or 3Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1000 M to home straight, still 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M and had no excuse not to place, missed out inside final 50 M. |
7 | 7 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Caught 3-wide no cover at 800 M when 6Ls off speed in 9th, further back and outpaced turning for home, never likely to finish better than midfield. |
8 | 5 | ARISTOCRACY (CG070) | Y T Cheng | -- | Fractious in gates, on fence sharing 5th and 6th place about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed before hanging out at 800 M, under pressure turning for home and very one-paced on the run-in. |
9 | 9 | EXPRESS MAIL (CG166) | F Coetzee | H1 | Never posed any danger, 2-wide and 6Ls behind at halfway, 8Ls off pace in 9th turning for home, no impression. |
10 | 14 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | M Odendaal | B | Slowest away, 10Ls last at 1000 M, always a respectful distance from the pace. |
11 | 10 | WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) | K T Yeung | B | Keen with head up early on towards rear about 9Ls off pace, never got involved fully. |
12 | 8 | ZERO GRAVITY (CH037) | K L Chui | TT | Disputed early lead out 2-wide 1000 M, under pressure when 2Ls down in 3rd at final turn, dropped out very rapidly. |
13 | 11 | AMERICAN VICTORY (CD375) | O Doleuze | B/XB | Towards rear early on but (not for the first time) hung sharply right from 700 M to far rail and out of the race, eased final 200 M. |
