1 6 CHANS DELIGHT (P420) S De Sousa H/XB Shared pace on rails before allowing eventual runner-up to cross to rails, well poised outside the lead rounding home bend, renewed effort to gain slender advantage under pressure 200 metres out.
2 1 A FAST ONE (S424) J Moreira B Worked his way across from the middle gate to soon obtain lead and then rails run 1000 metres out, unable to resist winner's tenacity and headed 200 metres out. (Tactic questioned)
3 5 EASY AHEAD (CK212) G Mosse P Moderate start, soon dropped towards the rear, picked up to midfield on rails rounding home bend and saved ground on the turn, fought on steadily without threatening. (Lame due to punctured sole)
4 11 EVER SHINY (S214) K C Ng B/E Soon dropped well behind, racing keenly in last on the bend, still trailing the field entering straight, finished off race well inside final 200 metres, did best work late.
5 10 ORIENTAL FANTASIA (P269) H N Wong P-/H2/SR2/TT Awkward start, soon ridden to prominent one-out-one-back position in 3rd, failed to quicken under pressure in the run home.
6 2 O'SOCOOLE (S032) B Prebble B/TT Jumped fairly from the widest gate, settled just worse than midfield, shifted widest turning in, produced good late impression closing stages.
7 12 INTELLECTUAL GLIDE (S124) M L Yeung B Taken back from a wide gate, gained closer on rails around the bend, baulked and switched out for a run over 200 metres out, failed to quicken to threaten.
8 3 GOLDWEAVER (P072) C Y Ho P Jumped well, settled wide without cover in midfield, kept on same pace without quickening.
9 7 PERFECT TRIUMPH (P241) C K Tong B Began well, soon settled in midfield, ran home one-paced.
10 8 TRIBAL GLORY (S395) H W Lai B/H Sluggish at start, eventually picked up pace from approaching 1000 metres, travelled 2L back in 4th on rails rounding home bend, weakened under pressure upon straightening.
11 9 DANEWIN TIGER (L282) K Teetan -- Broke well from a poor draw, gradually settled wide in last few, found nothing in straight.
