1 | 6 | ROMANTIC WARRIOR (E486) | J Moreira | TT1 | Raced wide in midfield after jumping from widest gate before being left without cover near 700m when improving to third. Continued 3 wide outside leaders around bend, dashed to lead at 150m, drew away late for impressive win. |
2 | 7 | A SMILE LIKE YOURS (E089) | K Teetan | -- | Ridden forward after start, left wide around first bend until improving position to be 2 wide & outside leader from the 700m. Shared lead 200m, boxed on well but no match for impressive winner. |
3 | 4 | GREAT HARVEST (B390) | A Badel | -- | Pushed forward to lead. Held lead until joined at 200m, boxed on to hold well beaten third. (Substantial blood in trachea post-race) |
4 | 5 | PRANCE DRAGON (B349) | C Y Ho | V/TT | Crowded for room on jumping & consequently raced worse than midfield on rail. Shifted wider on straightening & wider again passing 200m before making up a length or so when running onto 4th place in late stages. |

8 | 10 | DESTIN (V417) | M Chadwick | B | Slow to begin & raced rearward for the majority. Over 6L from the lead entering last section, shifted wider after straightening before passing a few tiring rivals late, too far back to challenge. |
9 | 11 | CHIKORITA (D230) | H T Mo | XB-/TT- | Crowded & checked after start & raced rearward early before improving position near 800m to be racing 3 wide with cover in midfield from 700m. Cornered about 3L from the lead before peaking mid-straight & weakening late. |
10 | 1 | HAPPY GOOD GUYS (B466) | C L Chau | B | Raced close to the lead early before being crossed and racing 1,1 from the 700m. Peaked on effort soon after straightening & weakened out meekly in final furlong. |
11 | 2 | A A AGILITY (D466) | M F Poon | B | Shifted across behind runners at start & raced a clear last. Continued a clear last, 8L from the lead entering last section before failing to make any headway. |
