1 4 LIBERAL'S KNIGHT (CE272) F Coetzee -- Settled in 3rd about 3Ls behind the early pace, 2Ls down in 3rd on straightening, dug in well to lead 150 M out, ridden out.
2 8 CHATER POWER (CG312) Z Purton B/TT Raced on fence in 5th about 4Ls or 5Ls from the speed until home turn, ran on well for 2nd but never likely to grab the winner.
3 5 GRAND STORE (CH087) B Prebble -- In 4th between 3Ls and 5Ls behind the speed through to home straight, stayed on fairly for a place.
4 10 ROYAL PERICLES (CH050) E Saint-Martin B/XB Held up in midfield about 6Ls off pace at halfway and edged a little closer at top of straight, stayed on okay to nick 4th close home.
5 1 ADAIKALI (CE181) D Beadman CP/TT Best away, 2Ls down in 2nd at the 800 M, 1L back in 2nd on straightening and travelling well, weakened as soon as briefly hitting the front 250 M out.
6 12 AMPLE GAINS (CE021) H W Lai B/TT Slowest away and no early pace, always rear and 8Ls back one from rear turning in, made only very minor late ground.
7 3 ISLAND SPEED (CG202) O Doleuze B/TT Fractious in the gates, pressed on out wide to lead by 2Ls on fence at 800 M, 1L clear entering final 400 M, wilted once headed 250 M out.
8 6 JIANG JUN (CE281) G Boss XB/TT Towards rear about 8Ls off the early pace and much the same swinging for home, no impression while hanging out badly on the run-in.
9 11 SING FAY FAY (CE074) K T Yeung B/TT Always in rear bunch at least 7Ls from the pace, never got any closer.
10 9 CHEERFUL MASTER (CE309) P H Lo B/TT Slowly away, on fence 6Ls back in 6th at halfway, failed to get any closer.
11 2 DEFERENTIAL (CH328) G Mosse B Trapped 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, was at least 7Ls off the pace until home turn, made no impact.
12 7 SUPERIOR UNIT (CJ045) W M Lai -- Last throughout, with 10Ls to make up turning for home, left further behind and eased down a long way out.
