1 10 KEEN SOUL (CH092) F Coetzee B Never far off and always within 2Ls of pace despite racing in 5th or 6th position early. Responded well to take charge passing 200 M. Won easily.
2 5 TOP STITCH (CE273) K T Yeung TT Jumped fairly. Soon took up running on rails and led narrowly most of way until headed inside 200 M. Hung on under pressure for 2nd.
3 9 WIKI WIKI (CD205) K L Chui -- Jumped fairly but lacked pace to contest early lead, settling behind midfield. Commenced run upon straightening and ran home steadily under pressure without threatening.
4 2 CHOICE AND CHANCE (CA381) W M Lai B Settled on rails just behind leader. No clear run in straight and not fully tested. (See Racing Incidents.)
5 6 MY PRIDE (CG017) D Whyte V Remained wide in prominent position after beginning from poor draw. Still 3-wide and one back in 3rd rounding home bend but lost position turning in. Plugged on under pressure.
6 3 PERFECT TREASURE (CH091) B Prebble -- Close up far side. Lost ground and dropped to midfield coming out of back straight. Shifted out for a run turning in but could only produce moderate headway without threatening.
7 1 HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) G Mosse V/TT Began well. Disputed lead outside leader far side, hitting front briefly rounding home bend. Kept on before fading inside 200 M.
8 8 AMAZING CHOISIR (CH189) C K Tong -- Slightly slow out. Settled at the back. Produced good late impression inside final 200 M.
9 11 VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) H W Lai B/XB Niggled along just worse than midfield. Saved ground on rails turning in. Fought on steadily under pressure.
10 12 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) Y T Cheng SR Always in last few and never seen with a chance.
11 7 INSIDER (CG112) E Saint-Martin B Broke well racing 4-wide in prominent positions before dropping to midfield home bend. Lost further ground turning in.
12 4 MEGA BULLET (CH192) S Dye -- Always well back. Tailed-off home bend.
