1 | 12 | MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) | S K Sit | -- | Waited with. Briefly baulked before obtaining a clear run over 350 M out. Responded well to snatch victory near the line. |
2 | 11 | BRILLIANT TREASURE (CH045) | F Coetzee | -- | Settled behind midfield from a wide draw. Commenced move upon straightening. Ran home nicely to hold every chance but pipped at post. |
3 | 2 | HELENE ELITE (CJ093) | K L Chui | CP/XB/TT | Settled on rails in midfield about 3Ls off the pace. Switched off rails for a run upon straightening but could only produce moderate progress while hanging out away from the whip to reach 3rd late. |
4 | 5 | PACHINKO (CH208) | G Mosse | B/TT | Broke with field from widest draw. Quickly taken to race in rear. Baulked for a run after straightening until 200 M mark. Rattled home late. |
5 | 8 | ROMANTIC GREEN (CG123) | C K Tong | BO/TT | Niggled at early but had to settle for one-back position on rails. Still in the box-seat run turning for home but unable to quicken to challenge. |
6 | 10 | BRAVO BRAVO (CH119) | Y T Cheng | -- | Prominent early, then steadied and lost position 1200 M out. Gradually recovered from midfield to be one-out-one-back in 5th rounding home bend. Kept on steadily in straight without quickening. |
7 | 3 | GOAL KEEPER (CH277) | D Whyte | B/TT | Broke with the rest from a wide draw. Settled 3 wide in midfield. Lost position entering straight when wider. Ran on steadily down centre of track without threatening. |
8 | 1 | TIGER RIDGE (CD084) | P H Lo | B/TT | Broke well to hold rails run in the front. Shared pace with two others around home bend. Went away for a 2L advantage 200 M out but soon died on its run and swamped. |
9 | 4 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | M W Leung | TT | Tight between runners at start and squeezed. Settled behind midfield. Snuck up along rails early in straight. Briefly baulked 100 M out. No further impression. |
10 | 6 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | H W Lai | -- | With leaders. Folded up quickly after straightening. (Questioned for poor performance.) |

12 | 9 | SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) | G Boss | -- | Mainly in midfield. Always under urge to hold midfield position. Minor interference approaching home turn. Soon dropped out while hanging in in straight. (Mucus.) |
13 | 7 | MASTER CRISTO (CH321) | M Nunes | -- | Slightly slow out, quickly picked up to 3-wide position with leaders. Shifted back to be one-back in 3rd rounding home bend. Gave ground quickly passing 500 M. |
