1 4 OVATION (BS190) W Woods B Ridden to lead. Kept on well to fend off runner-up's late challenge.
2 7 SUPREME CAT (BV142) F Coetzee -- Always well there. Ran on well to challenge the leader final 200 M when racing tight, just failed.
3 9 PROJECTSTAR (BV048) C H Tse -- Broke best, settled in midfield at 800 M. Responded well from 200 M, no extra closing stages.
4 6 MONARDS (BV267) R Fradd B1 Niggled along early in behind midfield, steadily improved to midfield at 800 M. Made ground gradually from 300 M to be nearest at finish.
5 3 KEV BUSHIDO (BV166) D Whyte -- Prominent early, steadily dropped to midfield at 1000 M. Shaken up to challenge from 400 M but was disappointed for running final 200 M. Not properly tested out throughout the straight.
6 2 BASIC INSTINCT (BM020) D O'Neill -- Near rear. Made up some late ground.
7 8 DR MORE (BV164) W C Marwing -- Soon moved up to track the leader. Looked a threat until beginning to tire 200 M out.
8 11 PEGASUS STAR (BV062) K C Tsang -- Never better than midfield, did not quicken in the straight.
9 5 MIGHTY AND GOLD (BT271) K H Yu -- Better than midfield. No extra and weakened close to home.
10 12 GALAPAGOS (BV113) S Dye B Began awkwardly, well back. Never in contention.
11 10 MAJESTIC WARRIOR (BV234) J Egan B At rear throughout.
