1 | 12 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | W M Lai | B | Away well, ceded lead to box-seat in 3rd about 2Ls from pace from 1200 M to home turn, picked up well to lead 150 M out for comfortable win. |
2 | 3 | STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) | Z Purton | B | Did well to slot into 2-wide position in 4th at 1200 M despite wide gate, close-up until home turn, had his chance but out-sprinted by the winner. |
3 | 10 | KEY WINNER (CG157) | K L Chui | B2/TT | 4-back on fence in 7th about 6Ls from the speed at 1000 M, held up briefly at top of home straight, made some fair late ground to place. |
4 | 11 | KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) | P H Lo | B | 8Ls back in 9th at the HKFC and 7Ls down in 10th swinging for home, eye-catching late ground to snatch 4th. |
5 | 5 | SWEET BABY (CG294) | W C Marwing | B | 4Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at 1100 M, under pressure and unbalanced at 500 M, 2Ls back in 5th at 200 M but no further progress. |
6 | 1 | LUCKY MONEY (CE159) | Y T Cheng | -- | Crossed from widest gate to race 1L back in 2nd out 2-wide at 1200 M, half a length back off final turn, little response to pressure and weak final 100 M. |
7 | 9 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | C W Wong | V | 3-back on fence and 4Ls off pace at in 5th from 1100 M to home turn, never likely to fight for the lead and one-paced final furlong. |
8 | 4 | CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) | H W Lai | TT | Led by 1L on the rails at 1200 M and held a lesser break off last bend, all out when headed by winner 150 M out and swamped nearer the line. |
9 | 2 | BRILLIANT FLASH (CE042) | O Doleuze | B | Slow and squeezed out at start, 8Ls or 9Ls last until straightening for home out widest of all, never likely. |
10 | 8 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | M Du Plessis | B | 7Ls behind the speed in 8th out 2-wide at 1000 M, keen in places, under pressure on the circle and wilted steadily from top of home straight. |
11 | 6 | PERFECT MATCH (CJ072) | D Whyte | -- | On fence 8Ls back in 8th initially, tapped for toe 600 M out, making back minor late ground when tight for room and not ridden out final 100 M. |
12 | 7 | CRUSH ON YOU (CH065) | B Prebble | B | Very flat performance, slowly away, 9Ls back in 10th at 1000 M and still well adrift turning in, found nothing off the bit. |
