1 | 11 | GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) | H W Lai | B/XB/TT | Driven along far side in 4th just over 3Ls off the speed, settled for the spot around the bend, ran on doggedly to gain upper hand over 100 M out, just held on to the line. (Questioned for improved performance.) |
2 | 14 | CRYSTAL (CE209) | P H Lo | B | Niggled at early but slow to muster, settled in midfield to straight, ran on under pressure to miss by a narrow margin. |
3 | 4 | PACKING SUPREME (CK198) | D Beadman | H | Began with others, settled in forward of midfield but lost position approaching home bend, remained similar into straight but fought on well to snatch 3rd late. |
4 | 6 | BUCCANEER (CH214) | Z Purton | -- | Settled towards rear, remained in last few into straight, held up behind runners until after 300 M, ran on well to be nearest at finish. |
5 | 7 | COUNTRY MAGIC (CH069) | M Chadwick | TT | Prominent briefly, gradually settled in midfield, made steady headway between runners in straight, nearest at finish. |
6 | 9 | NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Quickly taken back from the widest barrier after jump, remained well behind into straight, produced good late impression inside final 200 M to be nearest at finish over an apparently insufficient trip. |
7 | 2 | DARPANA (CK256) | Y T Cheng | B1/TT1 | Settled on rails in rear of midfield, dropped slightly further back around home bend, given reminders turning in, ran on to produce good late impression despite baulked inside 200 M. |
8 | 1 | EASY AHEAD (CK212) | T H So | -- | Began moderately, picked up steadily far side to settle just better than midfield in 5th, kept on steadily at the one pace without threatening in straight. |
9 | 13 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | M W Leung | PC-/B2/TT | Settled well back, made steady headway down inside of straight, did not find much room closing stages. (Reported to be not fully tested.) |
10 | 5 | THUNDER FLASH (CG270) | G Mosse | TT | Close up, held slender lead on rails around the bend, gained a length's advantage briefly over 200 M out, soon found no extra and headed. |
11 | 12 | RARE TREASURE (CH150) | D Whyte | -- | Raced wide without cover in worse than midfield, widest runner turning in, kept on same pace down centre of straight without quickening. |
12 | 8 | WINE WIN (CG018) | M L Yeung | B | Close up in 3rd on heels of leaders most of way until finding no extra 200 M out. |
13 | 10 | WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) | K C Leung | -- | Began well from a wide draw, soon ridden to join leaders, disputed lead around the bend and into straight, kept on until fading under pressure 200 M out. |
14 | 3 | HAPPY SEVEN (CK155) | C K Tong | -- | Always struggling wide in last few, never seen with a chance. |
