1 | 10 | NEW ELEGANCE (A416) | A Badel | B-/XB1 | Guided to the fence, travelled well in midfield 4Ls off leaders, angled into clear passing 300M, quickened to the lead 150M and kept on well towards the finish. |
2 | 6 | GREEN ENERGY (A095) | K C Leung | H/TT | Ahead of midfield along the 2-path, never far away 3Ls back from leaders, into clear 350M, produced good finish. |
3 | 11 | ROUNDABOUT (T352) | N Rawiller | SR | Reserved behind mid-division 5-6Ls off the good pace, quickened nicely when switched to outside 400M, got up for 3rd late. |
4 | 14 | TAI SMART (A366) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Dropped back to a rearward spot 6-7Ls off the good pace, badly held up to 250M and did best work towards the line. Should have done better. |
5 | 8 | HOME RUN (V101) | Z Purton | B/H | Settled down midfield in a strongly run race, 5-6Ls off leaders middle stages, held up to 300M, ran on when clear but couldn't close gap on leaders. |
6 | 4 | GOLD LAND (A109) | B Prebble | B/TT | Held up 2-wide in mid-division, brought wide to challenge, stayed on mildly to the line but always held by leaders. |

8 | 5 | PING HAI STAR (A375) | J Moreira | B/TT | From draw 1 rolled forward to lead, commenced to race keenly when pressed by rivals middle stages, headed inside 200M, weakened towards the line. (Jockey questioned re riding tactics.) |
9 | 3 | WINWIN RUBY (A120) | M F Poon | B | Pressed the pace 2-wide, driven near 400M and vied for the lead until fading passing 200M. |
10 | 13 | SUCH A HAPPINESS (A152) | K Teetan | -- | Slotted into a 2-wide spot near the rear, 6Ls off the pace 400M, made his run from wide, battled past a few while never in the reckoning. |
11 | 7 | DUKEDOM (V372) | D Whyte | P | From draw 13 crossed to a 3-wide spot ahead of midfield, no cover from 1000M, outsprinted by rivals inside 300M, soon out of contention. |
12 | 2 | FAITHFUL TRINITY (A247) | U Rispoli | H | Switched off to last on jumping, over 10Ls off the pace halfway, made no impact in straight. |
13 | 12 | LOTUS BREEZE (T112) | K C Ng | CP/XB/TT | Chased leaders, kept on same pace in straight, eased when no chance 150M. |
