Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | GLORY ELITE (H311) | K C Leung | H | Broke alertly, soon took up running, travelled well in middle stages and still on the bridle leaving home turn, kicked on strongly under a big weight to score a dominant win. |
2 | 2 | LADY'S CHOICE (H155) | K Teetan | B/H | From wide draw pressed forward to track leader, driven 400M, fought hard but couldn't close the gap on the winner. |
3 | 6 | ALSONSO (J405) | H Bentley | -- | Jumped on terms, from draw 1 moved up to chase leaders in 3rd, not going the pace to challenge winner in the straight but stuck to task well for 3rd. (lay out under pressure in straight.) |
4 | 9 | MAJESTIC EXPRESS (J244) | B Avdulla | E | Restrained to race in mid-division along the fence, had some difficulty obtaining clear running early straight before finishing off the race mildly. Held by leaders in the run to the line. |
5 | 4 | THE STORM (J126) | H Bowman | TT1 | Jumped awkwardly, switched off to race at the rear 7Ls off the pace, had big task in hand 400M, ran on well when asked, awkwardly placed behind rival late and not ridden out to the finish. |
6 | 10 | PACKING TURBINE (J470) | Z Purton | TT1 | Made contact with the barrier on jumping, lost ground and settled towards the rear further back than intended, stayed on final 400M without troubling leaders. (Jockey: better suited by being stepped up in distance.) |
7 | 7 | THUNDER PRINCE (K017) | C Y Ho | TT1 | Jumped awkwardly and was crowded shortly after the start, maintained a position behind midfield, made some progress in the straight but was never a serious threat. |

9 | 5 | AWESOME TREASURE (E435) | P N Wong | TT | Quickly into stride under 10lb claimer, restrained to race in 4th on settling, not quickened leaving the turn when placed under pressure, ran home one paced. |
10 | 3 | PRESTIGE RICKY (K009) | A Atzeni | XB1 | Jumped only fairly, raced keenly in a rearward position early stages, moved closer to midfield home turn but couldn't quicken enough on straightening, soon behind major rivals. |
11 | 8 | YOUNG ARROW (J401) | L Ferraris | XB | Urged along to be racing in midfield, gave limited response on straightening, soon outpaced by rivals. |
12 | 12 | SUPER FORTUNE (G065) | M F Poon | TT | Maintained a position ahead of midfield, raced 3-wide without cover, weakened inside 300M, finished last. |
