1 | 3 | JIANG JUN (CE281) | C W Wong | XB/TT | Very slowly away losing ground. Soon recovered to rear of field and trail them to straight. Responded well down centre of wet track to just get up on line. |
2 | 4 | KING PRAWN SUPREME (CJ076) | F Coetzee | B | Began well in middle draw and looking to cross to rails. Disputed lead outside leader around home bend and hit front inside 300 M only to be caught final strides. |
3 | 11 | HONEST TREASURE (CE200) | W M Lai | B/TT | Began moderately. Soon picked up along rails to race 1-back in 3rd. Still in box-seat turning in. Obtained a clear passage passing 200 M and closed off race nicely. |
4 | 5 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | P H Lo | CP/TT | Broke well from poor draw racing wide in first few down far side. One-back 3-wide in 5th rounding home bend. Kept on steadily without quickening under pressure in straight. |
5 | 10 | TREASURABLE (CH017) | M Du Plessis | -- | Travelled 3-wide towards rear. Made steady headway down straight to be nearest at finish. |
6 | 7 | SIAMERIC TE SPECSO (CE171) | K L Chui | CP | Broke well and niggled at early for pace. Soon shifted back for rails run in rear of midfield before home bend. Saved ground turning in. Ran on steadily between runners to be nearest at finish. |
7 | 12 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | M W Leung | -- | Began fairly from widest draw. Soon taken back to race wide in midfield. Slightly lost position while covering ground entering straight. Kept on steadiy down centre without quickening. (Tactic questioned.) |

9 | 2 | GLOBAL WIN (CG109) | G Boss | B | Ridden to muster pace. Raced wide in prominent position early. Settled just better than midfield 3-wide in 6th rounding home bend. Made no impression in the run home. |
