1 6 FLYING BLUE (CL389) D Whyte -- Sprung from gates, crossed comfortably from wide out, set speed to suit in front, kicked clear turning and ran out a convincing winner.
2 1 CAPTAIN SWEET (CL354) D Beadman -- Fractious at start, began evenly, settled 3Ls or so away on rails, unbalanced when galloped on at 700m, took time to make impact from 400M and couldn’t wear down winners margin inside 150M.
3 2 ST FEVRE (CL002) G Mosse TT Reasonable break, assumed 1 out 1 back role, all chance with steady tempo in mid section, stuck on bravely in stretch but couldn’t catch first two.
4 4 DRAGON FIGHTER (CL260) M L Yeung -- Showed some early speed, elected for a trail on leaders back, terms to suit with slow speed, kept on competitively in straight.
5 3 EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) W C Marwing B/TT No early speed and taken back from a wide alley, raced 3 wide behind midfield, 6-7Ls back throughout, improved at 400m, made some ground but was unsuited by slow tempo.
6 5 FOREVER ELATION (CK215) M Guyon B Began well from wider out, pressed forward and raced outside leader, aided by slow speed, right there turning but lacked extra final 300m.
7 8 DANZULU (CJ069) C Y Ho B Even break, trapped 3 wide without cover, 3Ls back to bend, worked too hard in mid section and unable to find final 300m.
8 14 MING HOI TREASURE (CK145) M W Leung TT Tardy into stride, assumed spot nearer to last, 7 to 8Ls back on rails, had job to do turning, made some minor ground without threatening.
9 11 TAILWIND (M103) Y T Cheng B1 Began with rest, ended up 3 wide in mid section, had cover 4-5ls back, tracked up to turn, condition gave out in straight.
10 9 KING AL AKBAR (CK381) N Callan XB/H/TT Awkwardly away, angled into midfield spot, difficult to settle in mid section with slow pace on, 4Ls down turning, lacked usual dash and didn’t offer much when race turned into a sprint home.
11 10 EASY WINNER (CL138) T H So B Moderate beginning, raced in midfield 4-5Ls back on rails, easy time to turn, niggled turning and struggled in straight.
12 7 VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) J Moreira P/H Slow into stride, settled two wide at rear 8Ls or so away, not helped by pace, made limited ground in straight.
13 13 JERRY MAGUIRE (CL381) G Cheyne TT No real early pace, settled behind midfield, 6-7Ls back in two wide line, made no real progress despite being steadied at 150m.
14 12 MY HOME TOWN (CH331) W M Lai -- Drifted back from a wide gate, 8Ls or so back racing 3 wide at rear, still last turning, no serious impact.
