1 | 4 | DECISIVE TWELVE (D280) | A Badel | TT | Soon emerged as the leader, had uncontested lead, kicked on strongly final 250M, well in control 150M from home to win by dominant margin. |
2 | 11 | SMILING CITY (D113) | M L Yeung | CP/SR | Chased the pace set by eventual winner, tried hard in straight but couldn't close the gap on the winner, fought on to the line to hold 2nd. |
3 | 2 | TRANSCENDENT (D126) | C L Chau | CP/TT | Eased back to race at the rear, 6Ls to make up 400M, driven and closed off well over final 250M to go 3rd, not reached winner. |
4 | 3 | THE RUNNER (D042) | K C Leung | -- | Never far off from the pace, shoved along 500M, closed off only moderately for a non-threatening 4th. |
5 | 9 | MERIDIAN GENIUS (C067) | M F Poon | -- | Niggled along at the rear, saved ground along the fence, made some progress passing 300M but never a serious threat to leaders. |
6 | 6 | HARRIER JET (T372) | V Borges | B | Up with leaders early stages, reigned back to sit in mid-division, ran home one-paced, out of contention 200M. |
7 | 7 | LUCKY QUALITY (D050) | C Schofield | -- | Jumped well, soon switched off to race towards the rear, swung widest from 400M, ran past beaten horses in the straight. No impression on leaders. |
8 | 12 | TELECOM ROCKET (C137) | K Teetan | B | Restrained in a position behind midfield, 4Ls to make up turning home, ran on fairly final 300M, never reached leaders. |
9 | 10 | VITRALITE (E121) | C Y Ho | XB | From wide draw dropped back for cover, settled 3-wide towards the rear, failed to finish off. |
10 | 5 | GOOD HEALTH (E159) | A Hamelin | CP1 | Began fairly, strode forward to track leader, lacked further response from 300M, weak in the finish. |
11 | 8 | RHAPSODY (D120) | J Moreira | -- | From wide draw caught wide no cover in midfield early stages, strolled closer to pace passing 800M, no extra 200M from home, weakened to last. |
