1 | 4 | FLYING CHINA (CK266) | B Prebble | B-/PC2 | Drifted back as usual, raced 7-8Ls back in 2 wide line, appreciated solid pace on, came to middle in straight and unleashed strong finish to get up late. |
2 | 5 | JIMSON THE BEST (CL016) | T Angland | -- | Settled in midfield 5Ls or so away in midfield, strong tempo helped, made a 2 wide run before 400m, kept closing to take lead only to be outdone final 50m. |
3 | 11 | MY WHISKY (CK071) | P Strydom | B1/TT | Used a bit to cross from outside gate, kept speed strong throughout, 2Ls clear on turn, battled bravely and was overhauled final 100m. |
4 | 9 | BEAUTY SUCCESS (CL422) | M Chadwick | CP/TT | Taken back from a wide gate, 10Ls or so away in run, aided by strong tempo, took inside runs approaching turn and made good ground late to share 4th. |
4 | 10 | BUCCANEER (CH214) | M L Yeung | B | Took an ideal spot following pace trio 3-4Ls back, strong pace on to bend, kept on steadily without threatening and did enough to share frame. |
6 | 13 | QUANTUM EXPRESS (CK166) | H W Lai | H/TT | Began well, used a bit early, took a nice spot on leaders back, on decent pace throughout, in mix for most of straight but just tired final 100m. |
7 | 6 | EASTERN EMPIRE (CL172) | G Cheyne | TT | Even break, taken back from an awkward draw, ended up sharing rear on rails more than 10Ls back, took inside runs and closed creditably from an impossible spot. |
8 | 2 | JOLLY GOOD (CL134) | C Y Ho | SR/TT | Ended up in midfield on rails 6ls or so back, speed suited and saved plenty of ground on bend, closed gradually before peaking at 100m. |
9 | 7 | ANCIENT KINGDOM (M210) | Z Purton | -- | Drifted back from an awkward draw, nearly 10Ls away racing 2-3 wide in mid section, strong speed on helped, made some progress but unable to quicken, ground away. |

11 | 14 | TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) | M Du Plessis | B/H | Settled behind pace, 2 wide 4ls back, even trip in mid section, began to struggle and lost ground from 400m, dropped right out in straight. |
12 | 12 | HEALTHY BLUEBERRY (CK222) | T H So | V/TT | Didn’t muster and was further back than usual, raced 3 wide with cover 7Ls or so back, still just off midfield turning, made no real impact in straight. |
13 | 8 | KICK SERVE (CL385) | J Lloyd | H | Positioned 3 and 4 wide without cover, best part of 11-12Ls back near rear in run, hard run took toll in straight and folded tamely. |
