1 | 10 | COMPACT YARN (CK377) | H W Lai | B | Led early then handed up near the 1200m, box seating along the paint. Surged to the lead passing the final furlong and kept on nicely to the wire. |
2 | 9 | PRIVATE ROAD (CK189) | C Y Ho | B | Camped in second position outside the leader, no cover. Stayed on soundly in the final stretch. |
3 | 5 | FAT DRAGON (CD130) | M W Leung | B | Took control of the race near the 1200m settling along the fence. Set even fractions and fought gamely after being headed near the 150m. |
4 | 3 | TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) | M L Yeung | B/H | Parked 1 out 1 back. Worked home steadily to stay in the frame. |
5 | 6 | GREAT LUCK (CL101) | G Mosse | TT | Slow to begin travelling midfield, 3 wide with cover. Swung wide on the final turn but reached its peak near the 100m and was one paced thereafter. |
6 | 2 | HOW WONDERFUL (CK397) | G Cheyne | B/SR | Rated behind midfield 1 off with cover. Angled out 5 deep on the home turn & made some late ground without threatening. |

10 | 1 | VIVA GUY (CK318) | D Whyte | B | Jumped on terms then from a wide barrier was taken back. Was unable to gain cover and was posted 3 wide midfield for most of the trip. Never likely. |
