1 | 12 | HONGKONG SUPERSTAR (CH167) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Broke well, bagged the rail and vied for the lead, established a narrow lead going into final 200 M, fought on well in late stages to keep pursuers at bay. |
2 | 4 | BUNDLE O' GOLD (CJ311) | B Prebble | TT | Restrained after the start and placed midfield in a strongly run race, out into clear nearing 200 M, finished well and pushed the winner all the way to the line. |
3 | 10 | EL ZONDA (CK132) | M Chadwick | TT | Towards the rear but never far off leaders, had not much room early straight, went through a gap inside 200 M to chase winner but was always held. (Lame next day.) |
4 | 11 | HAPPY REUNION (CK163) | H W Lai | TT | Dropped back to last from gate 11, ran on strongly in straight despite hanging in, nearest finish. |
5 | 5 | WINE WIN (CG018) | M L Yeung | B | Began awkwardly and lost ground, recovered to race behind leaders, looked threatening from 300-150 M but eventually weakened. |
6 | 1 | FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) | D Whyte | -- | Tracked leaders one back on fence, travelled well throughout but couldn't get out of the pocket until 200 M, kept on with leaders when clear but not much room again final 75 M. |
7 | 2 | ISLAND SPEED (CG202) | K C Leung | B/TT | Pushed along to a 2-wide position with leaders but found no extra turning in, eased when no chance final 100 M. |
8 | 7 | LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) | C W Wong | -- | Dropped back to a rearward position, 5Ls behind leader at the 400 M mark, picked up only fairly when asked but jockey had to stop riding final 100 M when awkwardly placed behind a beaten runner. |
9 | 8 | OCEAN WIDE (CJ132) | C K Tong | B2/H | With leaders early but caught very wide down the back straight, eased back for cover approaching the home turn, didn't find much under pressure and got past beaten runners only. |
10 | 6 | GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) | Z Purton | -- | Hard driven after jumping from a wide barrier but engaged in a speed battle and unable to cross, 5-wide swinging for room and was a spent force going into straight. |
