1 | 12 | VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) | W M Lai | XB/B2 | Away in line, moved forward to take up running on rails, had an uncontested lead at a slow tempo, kept on strongly in straight to hold off late challenge from the runner-up. |
2 | 8 | SERIOUS PLAY (CC003) | E Saint-Martin | B | Began well, settled behind midfield one off the fence about 7-8Ls back, closed the race off nicely taking plenty of ground off winner last 200 M, just beaten by a neck. |
3 | 4 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | G Mosse | CP | Reasonable jump, didn't muster speed early on and was settled in a rearward spot 8-9Ls off the pace, taken wide swinging for home, made plenty of ground down the straight to be closest at the finish. |
4 | 3 | ROCKALOT (CH163) | K T Yeung | V/TT | Unable to cross from an outside barrier and had to travel wide and without cover, 3Ls behind leader on the turn under urging, made some progress down the straight at an even rate. |
5 | 6 | WATCHMAN (CB327) | Z Purton | B/SR | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
6 | 9 | ALL FOR ONE (CH180) | C W Wong | -- | Away ok, pressed on early to settle in a midfield 2-wide and remained there to the home turn, 6Ls to make up on the leader, made some headway down centre of the course. |
7 | 10 | ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) | Y T Cheng | B1/TT | Jumped fairly, taken back as expected, raced on the fence 8Ls back down the back straight, asked for effort on turning, ran into traffic 200 M out and didn't have a clear run until last 100 M. Ran home okay. |
8 | 7 | DENDRANTHEMA LOVE (CD073) | H W Lai | B | Slow to begin, soon ended up in rear 9-10Ls off the pace, still well back on bend, switched to outside and finished off fairly after being set a task. |

10 | 1 | BATURO (CH029) | D Whyte | -- | Began well, always prominent behind leader, had every chance in straight but unable to quicken up, gradually weakened inside 200 M. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
11 | 11 | SUPER POWER (CH117) | F Coetzee | TT | Modest start, hard pressed to move forward, travelled in 3rd down the backstraight, under pressure turning in, run ended 200 M, soundly beaten. |
12 | 5 | BAUHINIA (CD118) | M W Leung | B | Jumped okay from the inside draw, had a ground-saving trip along the rails 4Ls back in mid-division, under pressure round the turn, struggled to pick up on straightening, checked at 50 M and finished tailed off. |
