1 | 3 | SHINING VICTORY (CL163) | D Whyte | B/TT | Quickly into stride. Urged early to hold lead on fence. Eased gradually to take box-seat making home turn. Picked up well in the straight and hit front final furlong. Drew clear to score easily. |
2 | 4 | LEADING CITY (CK298) | G Mosse | -- | Began well but trapped wide. Travelled 3-wide in the leading section rounding the turn. Ridden passing 300M when challenged by the winner but was soon knocked out. Barely hung on for 2nd. |
3 | 12 | LUCKY NINE (CL259) | A Suborics | -- | Handy position, one-off on the fence behind leading section through to home straight. Finished off well and nearly snatched 2nd. |
4 | 5 | ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) | W C Marwing | SR | Driven to maintain midfield spot on fence early. Same position turning for home. Covered ground steadily in the straight. Made frame near the line without troubling the front trio. |
5 | 13 | TOP NEWS (CK196) | C Williams | -- | Prominent spot through to the home straight but was one-paced to conclude. |
6 | 8 | CLASSA (CK267) | T H So | H-/B2 | Detached early despite rider's effort. Reached the back of the field passing 700M. 8Ls down on straightening. Made up decent ground late. |
7 | 2 | TRULLI (CH327) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Niggled early and tucked in behind midfield on fence approaching home turn. Soon under pressure after straightening. Ran on steadily but was not threatening. |
8 | 7 | MY GOAL (CJ131) | M W Leung | B/TT | Elected to stay towards rear in a 2 to 3-wide position through to the home straight. Vigorously ridden thereafter to make some headway. |
9 | 9 | CHARMGOLD (CK002) | H W Lai | TT | Caught wide in the front rank after start. Gradually taken to sit 3-wide behind midfield from 1000M. Last few entering the final stretch wide. Minor progress thereafter. |
10 | 1 | BEAUTIFUL DREAMER (CH108) | C K Tong | B | Trapped 3-wide ahead of midfield through to the home straight after a nice start. Failed to turn up a notch when asked. |
11 | 10 | LOMBARDI (CK406) | J Lloyd | B | Never better than midfield. Found nothing when the race got serious. |
12 | 6 | POLYGOLD (CK309) | B Doyle | -- | 2-wide towards rear throughout. Never improved from there. |
13 | 11 | BESPOKE MASTER (CL227) | C W Wong | -- | 3-wide behind midfield through to the home turn. Pressed along approaching the home straight but no progress. Beaten long way before the post. |
14 | 14 | SMART CURRENCY (CJ222) | F Coetzee | TT | Shaken up early to go forward from high draw. Disputed lead making home turn. Soon weakened passing 400M. |
