1 | 6 | STAR OF CHIU TON (CJ175) | M Chadwick | B/TT | In first few, rolled forward to take up running before 1000 M bend, held 1L lead until joined turning for home, just held off runners-ups' late challenge throughout closing stages. |
2 | 8 | FANTASTISCH (CK017) | M Guyon | XB/TT | Soon led, crossed to rails and steadied pace on stables bend, ceded advantage to eventual winner before 1000 M bend and tracked him to straight, responded to strong pressure on rails after straightening only to fail by a narrow margin. |
3 | 2 | SUPER GALILEO (CL061) | D Whyte | B | Began fairly, ridden along to muster early pace and never far off, took closer order coming off the Rock, disputed lead into straight, fought on under pressure to miss narrowly. |
4 | 1 | EVER KING (CE147) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Began awkwardly losing ground, never better than midfield to straight, fought on steadily to be nearest at finish. |
5 | 11 | FULL PACK (CJ312) | T Angland | B | Trailed the field to straight, taken widest turning in, made up ground under pressure down centre of track to be nearest at finish. |
6 | 9 | HUMONGUS (CJ265) | B Doyle | B | Travelled on rails in midfield, came off the rails for a run entering straight, ran home one-paced. (Mucus.) |
7 | 7 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | O Doleuze | V | Midfield most of way to halfway, became 3L 4th when pace slackened after the Rock, gave ground gradually in straight. |
8 | 5 | FASCINATING SMILE (CK335) | K C Leung | -- | Broke well from a wide draw, close up when badly checked and lost about 2Ls approaching 1000 M bend, travelled in 3L 4th down far side and then 5th after the Rock, in similar position turning for home, found nothing under pressure. |
9 | 12 | ROCKALOT (CH163) | H W Lai | SR-/V-/H-/XB1 | Ridden for speed immediately after jump, gradually shuffled backward to be wide in midfield far side, remained similar turning for home, found nothing under pressure. |
10 | 4 | SUPREME YEARS (CL084) | G Mosse | H | Well back, very wide turning for home, not much room after straightening, made no impression thereafter. |
11 | 3 | ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) | N Callan | B | Began moderately and bumped a runner losing ground, travelled mainly in midfield to straight, found nothing under pressure in the run home. |
12 | 10 | GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) | G Cheyne | B | Soon taken back to race in rear, saved ground on inside turning in, made no impression. |
