1 | 6 | CHATEAU KING PRAWN (CE180) | E Saint-Martin | B1 | Fair to begin, settled just behind leaders, enjoyed good run with cover throughout, burst through with well timed run to hit front last 100 M and score a narrow victory. |
2 | 7 | CLASSIC NAVIGATOR (CD330) | F Coetzee | TT | Fast to begin, raced in middle on track 3Ls away, under pressure from 300 M, gave plenty last 200 M to almost come away with victory. Improved effort. |
3 | 4 | ABLE CHOICE (CB126) | C Soumillon | B/TT | Average to begin, settled midfield 3Ls away with cover, travelled well to 200 M, came with strong run last furlong to narrowly go down. |
4 | 11 | KINGIFLY (CG020) | B Prebble | -- | Began only fairly, raced in middle of track 4Ls from pace, responded well under hard riding to make frame. |
5 | 10 | GREEN WARRIOR (CD385) | Y T Cheng | -- | Broke with them, settled 2 to 3Ls off them with cover, travelled well in run not working too hard, lacked 100% clear room in stretch and kept going well to line. Needs to dictate. |
6 | 2 | ALINSKY (CE046) | D Whyte | B | Broke well, pushed along to be prominent early 3 off fence, 1 to 2Ls away, pushed along at 300 M, kept on at same speed without really threatening. |
7 | 3 | OUR JET (CD128) | S Dye | B/TT | Began awkwardly and lost ground, raced at tail behind horses 4 to 5Ls away, finished race off well to be closest at finish but unable to peg back gap. |
8 | 12 | HELENE ELEGANCE (CB004) | H K Yim | PC-/B2/TT | Broke well, showed good speed to contest lead early, still in it to 200 M but under pressure, couldn't maintain speed and weakened out last 100 M. |
9 | 5 | FLASHING STAR (CC018) | G Schofield | -- | Broke with them, settled 3Ls away without cover, began to struggle with speed from 300 M point, slowly weakened out of it, steadied when slightly crowded late but giving ground at that point. |
10 | 8 | FIREBOLT (CB256) | H W Lai | B-/SR/TT | Showed good speed, held early lead and kept running at solid speed, under pressure from 300 M, offered little over final furlong to drop right out. |
11 | 9 | GOLDEN CARE (CD188) | M W Leung | B/TT | Lacked dash from break, drifted back to be 5Ls away, always niggled along to hold position, under whip from 300 M, gave little from that point. |
12 | 1 | EVERY TIME (CD314) | A Delpech | SR | Average to begin, settled at rear, 4 to 5Ls off them throughout, travelled well to 300 M but showed no turn of foot when placed under pressure. |
