2 | 4 | SHANGHAI MASTER (A337) | C Y Ho | -- | From draw 12 shifted across behind runners early, in rear pair 6Ls off the steady pace, held up and unable to improve position from home turn to early straight, closed well final 250M to go 2nd near line but no match for winner. |
3 | 10 | HAPPY COOPERATION (T392) | M L Yeung | H/TT | Emerged as leader passing 950M, led steadily to straight, fought on well headed by winner 70M out, lost 2nd last stride. |
4 | 9 | EXCEPTIONAL DESIRE (A142) | H N Wong | V | Caught wide no cover from draw 11, pressed forward to race outside leader, didn't quicken on straightening but kept on evenly to hold 4th. |
5 | 5 | SUPER WISE (A100) | D Whyte | H/TT | Slow to begin, recovered to be tracking leaders entering home turn, loomed a chance 250M, but held by leaders in the run home. |
6 | 3 | AMAZING (A202) | K Teetan | -- | Settled down midfield just over 3Ls behind leader 400M, stayed on mildly, checked inside 150M losing momentum, ran on again towards the line. |

8 | 11 | SUNNY DRAGON (V412) | K C Leung | H/CP1/TT | Began fast to lead early, sat back passing 900M behind leaders, couldn't muster speed to be closer turning in, plodded home. |
9 | 12 | SPRING WIN (V157) | M Chadwick | B | Switched off to the rear to be 6-7Ls away from pace on settling, worked home fairly without threatening. |
10 | 8 | THE CREATETH (A336) | M F Poon | XB-/TT1 | Assumed a 3-wide position in midfield, 9th on the turn 5Ls behind leader, didn't run on in the straight. Never a factor. |
