2 | 1 | REAL SUPREME (CL247) | B Prebble | B/TT | Rolled across to sit outside leader, travelled nicely with steady pace to suit, challenged and took over at 300m, out dashed by winner last 150m. |
3 | 10 | YOU KNOW I WIN (M361) | M L Yeung | -- | Fair jump, settled behind midfield, 3 wide with cover, improved turning, stuck to task in straight and kept making ground to snare 3rd. Nice debut. |
4 | 4 | EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) | M Guyon | B | Began with usual speed to take sit behind leader, had easy time with steady pace, right there turning, kept on well to make frame. (Lame) |
5 | 7 | ANCIENT KINGDOM (M210) | T Clark | B/TT1 | Tardy into stride, raced 5Ls or so back on rails, saved ground taking inside runs turning, closed steadily to just miss frame. |
6 | 5 | MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) | K C Leung | XB | Restrained form an outside alley, back with last few 6Ls or so away, tracked up turning but blocked to 200m, closed ok when clear. |

11 | 3 | PERFECT GEAR (CL014) | C Y Ho | -- | Took up prime position 1 out 1 back, had all favours to bend, battled away before lost run when tightened at 200m, no extra thereafter. |
12 | 14 | ALMIGHTY WINDPOWER (CL272) | H W Lai | B | Trapped 4 wide throughout from a wide draw, no cover on circle, worked too hard to bend, dropped out in home stretch. |
13 | 9 | CLYDESIDER (M283) | M Du Plessis | H | No early speed, raced 3 wide at rear, not really suited when tempo slowed, well back to bend, no real close in straight. |
14 | 6 | HORSE APLENTY (M376) | Y T Cheng | B1 | Pressed forward but posted 3 wide without cover, did share of work to bend, began tiring from 300m and checked at 150m although didn't effect overall chances. |
