1 | 10 | LUCKY GALLOPER (CD030) | O Doleuze | B | 4Ls or 5Ls off pace towards inner in midfield until home straight, the gaps came and he quickened up nicely to lead at the 50 M, kept on well. |
2 | 6 | CROWNED GEM (CE056) | D Holland | TT | Caught wide early but got in 2-wide 2Ls off pace in 2nd at 900 M, 1L down in 2nd off final bend, led 200 M out but no extra when headed by winner 50 M out. |
3 | 5 | ZERO IN (CC332) | F Coetzee | TT1 | Led out wide early on, crossed to fence to lead by 2Ls at 900 M, led by 1L at top of home straight when going well, headed 200 M out but always holding onto a place comfortably. |
4 | 12 | GOLD STRIKER (CD365) | D Whyte | -- | Steadied at 900 M when 2-wide and 5Ls off pace in mid-division, a little closer when 4-wide off final bend, ran on okay but never likely to grab principals. |
5 | 1 | LUCKY LAD (CA148) | C Soumillon | B | 8Ls off pace when 2-wide in 12th at 800 M, still towards rear when 3-wide off home turn, hung out under pressure but could only plug on at same pace. |
6 | 3 | FLYING SPRINTER (CD021) | H K Yim | B | Half a length off pace in 2nd early, had the box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 900 M to home straight, weakened inside final 300 M. |
7 | 9 | HEALTHY FRUITS (CC193) | H W Lai | B/TT | 6Ls behind leader when 2-wide in 9th at 900 M, 4-wide with cover at 600 M, worse than midfield when 5-wide off final bend, outpaced when hindered at 300 M, posed little threat. |
8 | 2 | GOODWOOD (CA167) | S Dye | -- | On fence 4Ls behind in midfield at 900 M, similarly placed off home turn, no impression. |
9 | 7 | LUCKY WINNER (CE124) | G Mosse | P | 3-wide with cover when 6Ls off pace in 9th at 900 M, hung in at 800 M and hung out at 600 M when 5-wide without cover, extremely wide (7-wide) off final bend, soon well beaten. |
10 | 14 | AMBITIOUS LEADER (CC082) | W M Lai | B | Very awkwardly away, 7Ls off pace and one from rear at 800 M, struggling entering straight, no danger. |
11 | 11 | ALL FIT (CD065) | G Schofield | CP | Checked and bumped at start and got well back, 10Ls last at 800 M, 4-wide in rear off final bend, never a factor. |
12 | 4 | SAINTLY PARTNERS (BV292) | R Fradd | P- | 4Ls off pace when 2-wide in midfield at 900 M, hard-pressed to lie up on straightening, drifted further back. |
13 | 8 | ABLE EAGLE (CB443) | S K Sit | -- | Blundered at start, caught 3-wide without cover when 3Ls off pace in 4th at 900 M, under pressure to hold this position entering straight, faded from 300 M out. |
