1 7 SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) D Whyte -- Pressed forward to briefly lead making the first turn, had a relaxed run in 3rd under a slow tempo, moved forward from 500 M to stay close to the runaway leader, picked up well to hit front 100 M from home.
2 5 NILOMETER (CD052) K C Leung CP/TT Urged along to maintain a position in midfield 4Ls back in first half of the race, going strongly rounding the bend, finished the fastest and made up plenty of ground inside 350 M to be nearest on the line.
3 4 CHAMPION LAD (CH042) D Beadman XB/TT Switched off to the rear early, hampered by the slow pace down the back straight, sprinted into the lead passing 700 M, held 2Ls advantage going into straight, kept on but couldn't repel the winner close home.
4 12 CRYSTAL (CE209) M L Yeung B Quickly away and grabbed the inside rail running with ease, inconvenienced by the slow pace and shuffled back entering the back straight, urged along from 500 M and stayed on okay in the straight. (Jockey questioned.)
5 10 NEW CHAPTER (CH314) Z Purton B In a 2-wide position behind midfield, ridden along 500 M from home, finished well down the inside but never looked like getting involved.
6 1 WARM EMBRACES (CJ162) P H Lo -- Taken back and assumed a usual position in the rear, had 9Ls to make up passing 400 M and was taken wide on straightening, finished the race ok but was left too much to do.
7 9 HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) K T Yeung B/TT Tracked leaders early, led the field down the back straight until the start of the home turn, unable to sprint with them as the race got serious, weakened 200 M out.
8 11 MINGS' HERO (CJ011) W M Lai SR/B1 Unable to slot in and travelled in midfield 3-wide without cover throughout, struggled for pace turning in, found little in straight and ran home disappointingly.
9 3 CAGA BOY (CG060) Y T Cheng -- Not far off from leaders in early stages, trapped on the rails, hampered by the slow pace and was shuffled back to a rearward position approaching the home turn, had plenty to do inside 350 M but couldn't pick up.
10 2 KING ACRYLIC (CG295) H W Lai B/TT Pressed on early to be prominent behind leaders, struggled to hold his position making the home turn, already beaten going into the straight.
11 8 RED RULER (CH198) O Doleuze V/TT Taken back on jumping from the wide barrier, in a rearward position early but crept up to midfield entering the back straight, gave little response inside 350 M. No impression.
12 6 VIVA FIGHTER (CG307) W C Marwing B/TT In mid-division early, gradually shuffled back to the rear passing 1100 M, outpaced from 400 M and never picked up.
