1 | 11 | WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) | C Munce | B | 3-back on fence 3Ls off pace in 5th or so through first half, switched off fence on circle and turned in 3-wide and 2Ls down in 4th, a neck 2nd at 200 M, stayed on to lead close home. |
2 | 2 | GANBARIA (CE052) | Y T Cheng | B | Led out 2-wide by 1L at 1000 M, on fence in front at 700 M and 1L clear off home turn, grabbed by winner inside final 50 M but gamely hung onto 2nd. |
3 | 6 | PROPELLOR (CE263) | O Doleuze | SR | Box run on fence 2Ls behind lead in 3rd through to home straight, peeled out to have every chance when 1L 2nd at 200 M, kept on well but couldn't poke head in front. |
4 | 9 | PALIO KING (CG073) | G Mosse | TT | 2-wide and about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed in midfield through to home straight, kept on fairly well despite being outpaced by front three. |
5 | 3 | WAFER KING (CD276) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | In a worse than midfield position 2 and 3-wide with cover between 4Ls and 5Ls off pace until home turn, made some decent late ground, never nearer. |
6 | 1 | BRAVE KNIGHT (CC131) | B Prebble | TT | Towards rear about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace until final bend, kept on only fairly but still nearest at finish. |
7 | 10 | THUNDER STORM (CA226) | W M Lai | B/H | 4-wide no cover early on, got in 2-wide and 1L off pace in 2nd from 700 M to home straight, one-paced thereafter. |

10 | 4 | EUPHORIC KID (CB165) | M W Leung | V/TT | Lacked any early pace, 8Ls behind in 2nd last at halfway, always well held despite running short of room late on. |
11 | 5 | EVEREST (CC196) | S Dye | -- | 2Ls down in 4th at 1000 M, 3-wide on straightening and struggling to lie up in 5th turning for home, faded out tamely. (See Racing Incidents.) |
12 | 12 | MASONIC TREASURE (CE294) | C K Tong | B/H | Never on terms, quite some way detached on straightening, unacceptable performance. |
