1 5 SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) D Whyte -- Led early on and ceded the lead at 1200 M to box-seat on rails in 3rd, going well turning for home, led inside the 200 M and did just enough to prevail.
2 2 SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) B Prebble B Led by 1L on the fence at 1200 M and held similar break entering homestretch, headed by winner inside 200 M, didn't give up readily and held 2nd.
3 3 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) C K Tong B 3-back on rails in 5th or 6th through to home straight when 3Ls behind leader, stayed on fairly to fill 3rd close home. (Questioned.)
4 6 SWEET BABY (CG294) K T Yeung B Midfield about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, sent forward on the circle and 2Ls off in 4th turning for home, run peaked about 150 M, no extra from then on.
5 8 ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) H W Lai -- 2-wide and 2Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, still thereabouts off last bend, made some late ground without threatening.
6 12 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) M L Yeung B/H 2-wide and 1L off pace in 2nd or 3rd from 1200 M to final turn, had his chance to place at least but lacked the gears.
7 1 BRILLIANT FLASH (CE042) O Doleuze B Broke better than usual, 6Ls or so off pace at 1000 M on fence, 5Ls down turning in, switched out wide but could make only minor late ground.
8 4 STEEL NERVES (CG320) Y T Cheng B 4-back along the rails 5Ls from the front at the 1000 M, 4Ls down off last bend, entitled to finish much better than he did, weak effort.
9 11 FOREVER RICHES (CG174) Z Purton B Checked passing post for first time, worse than midfield at first and 4Ls down in 8th entering home straight, hindered 200 M out but well held anyway.
10 7 NAMJONG GOODLUCK (CE267) K L Chui B Always in last bunch, 8Ls behind early pace and only a little closer turning for home, very one-paced.
11 9 JOHNSON (CJ305) D Beadman CP Went back from wide gate, launched a brief bid to loop field from the 600 M but the run peaked well before the home turn and faded out tamely.
12 10 STORM'S DESTINY (CJ260) C W Wong SR Slowly away, always rearward, left 4-wide no cover on the circle for home, beaten by the furlong pole and eased late.
