1 5 MADE IN HONGKONG (CD139) O Doleuze B From wide gate, settled near the tail of the field, along the fence, shifted off the fence rounding the turn, lengthened well to draw a large winning margin.
2 4 FUN CRUISER (CD167) C W Wong B Just behind midfield, on the rails, made up satisfactory ground in the run home.
3 8 BALL OF FIRE (CD020) H K Yim B/TT Caught wide early in a midfield position, went forward near the 1200 M, opened up big break, despite travelling wide. Commenced to tire after 200 M. (See Racing Incidents.)
4 12 MIRACULOUS (CE115) R Fradd -- Led early before being overtaken near the 1000 M, got good cart into the race, disappointing in run home.
5 3 JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) H W Lai -- Severely checked near the 1400 M and settled well back. Made good ground around the field to close off nicely.
6 2 DANZIGMOUNTAIN (CG139) E Saint-Martin B/TT Raced 3-wide in midfield with cover, dour in the straight.
7 1 DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) S Dye B Raced in last spot for most of the trip, hard ridden to stay in touch from the 900 M, found wanting in the straight. (Blood in left nostril.) (See Racing Incidents.)
8 11 ESPRIT D'OR (CD295) D Whyte TT Raced midfield, 1 off, came wider on the bend, didn't go on and was disappointing.
9 6 SUNRISE LINING (CG030) Y T Cheng V/TT1 Settled slightly worse than midfield, 1 off with cover, struggled in the straight.
10 14 SILVER JET (CB102) K L Chui B Enjoyed a good run mid-race, just off the speed, 1 off, couldn't capitalize.
11 13 FIGS (CE141) M Odendaal P Raced back in the field, raced 3-wide with cover, never in the hunt.
12 10 MIRACLE DRAGON (CD254) G Mosse V- For the major part of the race travelled 3-wide, no cover, just off the speed.
13 9 GREAT FORTUNE (CE098) B Prebble TT- Slightly more prominent, 1 off with cover in a handy position, weakened noticeably in the straight.
14 7 A-TACK (CC343) C K Tong B Positioned on the fence, slipped well out of contention after the 400 M, to finish a long last.
