1 | 12 | K-JACK (CG233) | M W Leung | TT | Set alight from its outside barrier to lead and cross to the fence. Duelled for most of the trip with a challenger to its outside speed slow, however found plenty when asked for an effort and drew away to score well. |

3 | 4 | ASALI VICTORY (CJ304) | Y T Cheng | -- | From a wide alley was able to park outside the leader. Gave plenty under vigorous riding to hold its position in the frame. |
4 | 2 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | W M Lai | B | Throughout the race, travelled wide and without cover right behind the speed. Kept on gamely in the straight. |
5 | 6 | EXPLODING (CH046) | Z Purton | XB/H | Raced 2 deep, midfield with cover. Had to be checked at the 800 M, and after regaining its balance, forged to the line soundly without threatening. |
