1 8 GOOD LUCK BOY (S196) B Prebble B-/XB- Began OK, ridden along behind pacemakers while edging toward but three-wide from outer fence. Picked up momentum gradually, surged forward 200m, hit front 100m on way to easy win.
2 6 WINFULL PATROL (P063) G Mosse B Quickly into stride, racing with pacemakers away from outer fence. Swooped to the front passing 700m, looked the winner 200m before swamped with 100m to go.
3 11 HARBOUR ALERT (T254) C Y Lui -- Fractious before start. Best out and led to 700m before settling in second close to outer fence. Began forward move passing 400m, kept on gamely without being able to close the gap.
4 10 CHATER ROCK (S223) C Y Ho -- Began quickly, pressed forward, settling third 2L from leader. Caught flat-footed 400m when leaders speeded up, picked up again and kept on gamely to the line.
5 13 DYNAMIC VOYAGE (P066) Y T Cheng B/TT Slow into stride then ridden along down centre track, racing mostly on its own behind midfield. Made progress from 400m, though never really dangerous.
6 2 SKY MAN (S091) J Moreira -- Pressed forward to stay with pace, settling 3L from leader. Took closer order approaching 400m but one-paced after 200m.
7 9 SPARKLING TALENT (T346) N Rawiller -- Ridden along early to stay with pacemakers but kept away from outer fence. Got to within range of leader passing 400m but could not persevere and weakened final stages.
8 7 BEAUTY KINGDOM (T189) N Callan TT Crowded out start, taken to outer fence and made up ground quickly to within 3L of leader. Was still in contention passing 400m before weakening.
9 1 COUNTRY MELODY (T011) K Teetan H Slow into stride, recovered and made ground along outer fence to get within 7L of leader. Put under pressure from 400m but little response.
10 14 ST YAZIN (N409) W M Lai TT No early speed, left alone in midtrack and soon last. Stayed on inner track throughout, making up some late ground.
11 5 SMART DELIGHT (S402) Z Purton TT1 Bumped at start, taken towards outer fence, racing at the rear mostly. Never competitive. Found to have substantial blood in trachea.
12 4 TRIUMPHANT JEWEL (P310) M L Yeung B/TT Began fairly then crowded for room passing 950m and again 750m, dropping to rear about three-wide from outer fence. Never likely.
13 3 TANGO FIRE (S081) D Whyte B/H Began OK but failed to muster, dropping to near last along outer fence. Checked 600m and again 400m but never likely.
14 12 FAY DEEP (P071) H N Wong B/TT Unbalanced start, hard ridden to make up ground progressing to midfield 600m out. Weakened gradually.
