1 | 3 | GOOD TO GO (CH096) | D Whyte | TT | Disputed early speed on fence, 1L clear into home straight and same at the 200 M, all out to cling on. |
2 | 6 | KINGIFLY (CG020) | C K Tong | TT | 3-back on fence about 3Ls off pace in midfield at halfway, no closer than 2Ls down at the final turn and 200 M, stayed on very well but just ran out of ground. |
3 | 2 | FLYING SPRINTER (CD021) | O Doleuze | B | Always close up within 1L or so of the speed until the home turn, gave chase to the winner and while outpaced he comfortably held on for a place. |

5 | 1 | CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) | M W Leung | -- | Had the box-seat position on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th or 5th until final turn, could only hold his ground in the finish. |
6 | 9 | COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) | K L Chui | TT | 3-wide with cover throughout but close to the early pace, 2Ls down in midfield at home bend when short of room, failed to make a late impact. |
7 | 5 | FEVER PITCH (CH326) | S Dye | -- | Worse than midfield throughout, 4Ls down at the 800 M and further back on straightening, switched towards centre of the track on the run-in but made no ground. |
8 | 12 | LIFELINE PALS (CH186) | M Nunes | TT | 3-wide with cover in front rank at 600 M when unbalanced, yielding ground when 1L back at the final turn, weakened. |

11 | 8 | SHY BALDY (CH168) | Z Purton | TT1 | Trapped 4-wide without cover while right on pace through to the 500 M, yielded ground final 400 M and eased late. |
