1 | 10 | GANBARIA (CE052) | M L Yeung | B | Camped behind the leader on the fence. Switched out on the home turn and accelerated strongly to draw away and win by a handy margin. |
2 | 6 | SOU MA TAM (CH253) | W C Marwing | B | Aggressively ridden to take up the lead and was rated nicely in front. Kicked well when challenged near the furlong had every chance. |
3 | 1 | DRAGON EYE (CJ127) | D Whyte | TT | Raced three back on the rails. Railed up in the straight and finished off well despite being tight over the final 100 M. |
4 | 12 | AURELIAN (CC025) | C K Tong | B | Travelled midfield the fence. Worked home soundly. |
5 | 3 | SPEEDY STAR (CJ174) | M W Leung | -- | Was allowed to settle with the rear division along the paint. Ran on strongly over the last 300 M. (See Racing Incidents Report.) |
6 | 9 | NAMJONG SKY (CH129) | B Prebble | TT | Positioned close to midfield, 2 deep with cover. Battled on gamely in the run to the post. |
7 | 8 | DAILY DOUBLE (CK043) | B Doyle | SR | Raced with the backmakers 2-wide with cover. Made some ground in the straight without threatening. |
8 | 2 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | W M Lai | B | Worked forward from the outside gate to land 3 back. Travelled satisfactorily in a 1 off position after the 800 M, however faded over the concluding stages. |
9 | 11 | TAKE IT EASY (CJ029) | J Victoire | -- | Began awkwardly, lost ground at the start and as a consequence got well back in the early stages. After this, travelled 3-wide with cover at the rear of the field. Not likely. |
10 | 5 | GOLD CITY (CJ322) | H W Lai | -- | For the major part of the race travelled wide and without cover in a midfield position. Weakened in the straight. |
11 | 7 | EXQUISITE YIELD (CK049) | K L Chui | -- | Raced 2 deep with cover, midfield. Gave in tamely in the run home. |
12 | 4 | EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) | Y T Cheng | -- | Travelled at the rear along the fence. Tired noticeably in the final stretch. |
