1 | 12 | LUCKY ARMY (CL230) | Y T Cheng | H/TT | Rated 3 back, 2 deep with cover. Shifted out about 6 wide on straightening and finished off strongly. |
2 | 2 | RAY'S FAVOURITE (CL045) | D Whyte | CP | Sent forward and travelled outside the leader. Kicked clear and was well in front at the furlong but was mowed down over the final 50m. |
3 | 5 | CLASSA (CK267) | H W Lai | CP | Parked behind midfield the fence. Commenced to shift off the rail after the 500m, swung wide on the home turn and closed off well. |
4 | 8 | CHAMPION STAR (CL339) | Z Purton | CP | Had every chance after box seating. Very one paced in the straight and managed to hold on in the final stages to finish in the frame. |
5 | 6 | DAILY DOUBLE (CK043) | K C Leung | -- | Camped 3 back the fence. Looked for runs away from the rail after the 500m, came 5 deep on the home turn and worked home soundly. |
6 | 11 | GORGEOUS RULER (CK403) | N Callan | B/TT | Posted 3 wide without cover whilst travelling on the speed. Kept on fairly but was never likely. |
7 | 9 | SONOFTHEWEST (CL063) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Took up leading duties and strolled along evenly on the fence. Was a beaten horse early in the final stretch. |
8 | 7 | EVER KING (CE147) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Raced with the backmakers along the fence. Only plodded to the finishing line. |
9 | 4 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | T H So | B/TT | Travelled 1 out 1 back but raced very keenly in the early and middle stages and was gassed in the straight. |
10 | 1 | SUCCESSFUL ERA (CK276) | C K Tong | B/H | Settled worse than midfield 1 off with cover. Made no impression in the home straight. |
11 | 10 | FORTUNE BUNNY (CL310) | T Clark | -- | Crowded at the start settling towards the rear, 2 deep with cover. Peeled out approaching the home turn but failed to close off. |
12 | 3 | GREEN GLORY (CJ177) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Settled in last position along the paint. Struggled in the final stretch. |
