1 3 MR BOND (M098) G Mosse -- Towards the rear in early stages, caught wide and moved forward entering back straight, reached leaders nearing 400M, kept on soundly despite a tough run and always holding off the persistent runner up.
2 12 VERY WELL (M161) H W Lai SR/XB Given a waiting ride as usual, turned 3-wide into back straight and moved closer to midfield after 800M in a slowly run affair, dueled with eventual winner over final 250M, went down narrowly.
3 7 MY HOME TOWN (CH331) C Y Ho -- Close up tracking leaders, well placed to strike turning in, kept on well but not pace of first two final 100M.
4 2 FLEET COMMAND (CK077) J Lloyd B Fractious in stalls and was slowly away, guided to the fence and settled in midfield, loomed a threat behind leader near 200M, kept on steadily to the line.
5 4 REGENCY WINNER (CK410) M Guyon TT Patiently ridden in last, possibly not suited by the slow mid race tempo, taken wide on straightening, ran on without reaching leaders.
6 5 THE WAND (M265) D Whyte -- Showed speed to take up early running, shared lead with a rival entering into back straight and set a slow pace from halfway, not able to shake off pursuers in straight, swamped nearing 100M and out of contention.
7 8 ANTIPASTO (CK213) K C Leung B Held up behind midfield, kept on one paced final 300M, never factored.
8 6 UPGRADING (CK367) T Clark -- Restrained to a near last position, strode closer to pace nearing 500M, made some progress early straight, flattened inside 200M.
9 9 YUE LU TREASURE (CJ184) C W Wong B Held up towards the rear, saved ground along the inside, kept on same pace to the line, never a threat.
10 11 ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) O Doleuze B-/CP2/TT Tracked leaders in early stages, dropped back to midfield passing halfway, couldn't pick up when the race got serious passing 400M.
11 10 JIMSON THE BEST (CL016) Y T Cheng CP- Driven forward from draw 12, caught very wide for the first half of the race, had little left passing 200M, weakened rapidly.
