2 | 12 | FOX CHEUNGER (B187) | K Teetan | B/TT | Began well before being crossed after first bend & getting good position 1,1. Moved 4 wide around home corner, dashed to lead at 175m & looked the winner before being caught by fast finisher in final strides. |
3 | 4 | YEE CHEONG LUCKY (B357) | M F Poon | B | Had nice run on leaders back throughout. Moved over heels approaching the corner, improved to share lead on straightening before being joined at the 175m. Battled on gamely late to hold third, beaten under a length. |
4 | 10 | FLYING MONKEY (T361) | V Borges | BO/TT | Showed good early speed to come across from outside barrier and position outside the leader after the first bend. Hung out around home corner before finishing off soundly late to be only a length behind. |

7 | 8 | KWAI CHUNG ELITE (C173) | A Hamelin | B/H/TT- | Steadied after start & settled between runners at the rear. Moved wider when improving passing 600m before forced very wide on cornering. Made up a few lengths when running on to midfield from rearward position. |
8 | 1 | PLAY TO WIN (B468) | K C Leung | H/TT | Bumped & unbalanced at start before steadying after first bend to get good position in midfield away from rail. Eased wider entering last section when under 3L from lead before failing to make any improvement in straight. |
9 | 6 | AURORA STEED (C023) | B Shinn | V | Tightened for room on jumping before being caught three wide without cover after 300m. Continued wide passage, nearly 4L form lead near 800m. Forced wider on bend but never improved in straight. No threat. |
