1 | 5 | GREENWICH (H328) | Z Purton | TT1 | Driven forward from draw 14, crossed to the lead 800M, continued on well under pressure on straightening, firmly held off rivals final stages. |
2 | 3 | HONG KONG HALL (G315) | H Bowman | TT | Moved up to track leader, had every chance on straightening, tried hard to the line but was always held by winner. |
3 | 12 | HERO ICON (G422) | A Badel | TT | Began well from draw 1, soon restrained to a midfield position, made steady headway final 250M, just missed out on 2nd place. |
4 | 9 | NICETOBEMET (H094) | K Teetan | CP/XB | Restrained behind midfield, over-raced early and middle stages, held up near 350M before running on moderately to the finish. |
5 | 2 | ENDEARED (H161) | L Currie | XB | Jumped with them, dropped back to the rear passing 1000M, 6Ls to make up 400M, closed off fastest to be beaten 2L, nearest finish. |

9 | 1 | LUCKY GOR (G217) | C Y Ho | B/E/TT | Held up in midfield 3-wide, responded mildly early straight but run ended 200M. (Jockey : his mount was disadvantaged by being obliged to race three wide carrying top weight.). |
10 | 14 | CRAIG'S MASTER (G440) | M Dee | SR-/H/CP1/TT | Settled down in midfield along the 2-path, held up early straight, kept on one paced to the finish, never a winning chance. |
