1 | 12 | CHINA LUJIA (CJ088) | D Whyte | B/XB | Showed early speed, took prime position behind leader, had run of race with slow tempo, angled into clear on turning, let down smartly at 250 M and drew away final furlong for an easy win. |
2 | 11 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Out in line, assumed a midfield role 3 to 4Ls back not helped by slow tempo and proved difficult to settle, improved 3 to 4-wide on bend, made solid progress down centre to 2nd, no match for winner. |
3 | 13 | KOWLOON FIT (CE247) | M Du Plessis | -- | Away nicely, ended up 3Ls back on fence, not used in mid-section, saved ground on bend, held up at 300 M, closed nicely when clear to narrowly miss 2nd. |

5 | 7 | BEST POWER (CG006) | B Prebble | B/TT | Moderate beginning, ended up 4 to 5Ls away on rails, had a soft run however disadvantaged by pace, still in traffic at 400 M, closed strongly over later stages to be nearest on line. |
6 | 1 | MAINLAND SHUTTLE (CG315) | G Mosse | TT | Out in line, went forward from outside alley to race 3-wide outside leaders 1L away, did work without cover, still there to 200 M but couldn't lift thereafter after early workload. |
7 | 6 | WARM EMBRACES (CJ162) | G Boss | -- | Away only fairly ended up 3-wide 3Ls back in a compact field, had cover throughout and suited by tempo, made a bid on turning but run soon ended and battled last 250 M. |
8 | 14 | MINGS' HERO (CJ011) | W M Lai | SR/TT | Out well, took up 1 out 1 back spot, enjoyed nice trail with slow tempo, still there 2Ls down turning, failed to lift as required in straight and just kept on at same pace in finish. |
9 | 4 | MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) | S K Sit | -- | Out with rest, ended up in midfield 5Ls away racing 2-wide, proved difficult to settle and disadvantaged by slow speed, pushed along turning, made limited headway last 300 M. |
10 | 10 | MONTE CRISTO (CH120) | O Doleuze | B | Moderate jump and lost position early, raced 7Ls away at trail, slow pace harmed chances in mid-section, still last turning, made some headway down centre of track from an impossible spot. |
11 | 2 | SOUNDS FANTASTIC (CH146) | Y T Cheng | TT | Began only fairly, drifted back to race 3-wide with cover 5Ls back behind midfield, did share of work to bend, lacked a finish and just held position in straight without looking likely. |
12 | 8 | FIRST BABY (CG170) | F Coetzee | TT | Standard getaway, raced 6 to 7Ls back towards rear, raced 3-wide with cover but harmed by slow pace in mid-section, in impossible spot turning and lacked usual finish just plugging away late. |
13 | 9 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | H W Lai | B2 | Average beginning, posted 4-wide without cover 6Ls off front runners, gradually improved on circle, 5-wide turning, was a spent force at 300 M and battled in finish. |
14 | 3 | MY LUCK (CE256) | K L Chui | B-/XB | Fast away, lead comfortably, set a slow tempo throughout, headed on turning, there to 300 M but found little when asked and gave in tamely soon after. |
