1 | 6 | SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) | D Whyte | B | 4-back on fence about 4Ls off pace before moving out 2-wide at 1000 M, driven along when 4Ls down in 5th off final bend, 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, dug in to lead 50 M out, ran on. |
2 | 4 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | O Doleuze | B | 2-wide and less than 1L off speed in 2nd from 1100 M to home straight, led 300 M out and looked the winner when over 1L clear at 200 M, bumped when headed about 50 M out, no extra. |
3 | 9 | SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) | H W Lai | -- | 2-wide and 8Ls back in 10th at 1100 M, hard pressed to be 6Ls down in 8th turning for home, plugged on to take 3rd on line, nearest at finish. |
4 | 2 | EVER KING (CE147) | K T Yeung | TT | 2-wide at 1200 M when 5Ls back in midfield, forced out 3-wide with cover at 1000 M, 4Ls down in 5th or so off home turn, kept on at same speed and just missed out on a place. |
5 | 10 | BAUHINIA (CD118) | C Munce | B | 3Ls back in 6th when 2-wide at 1100 M, over 2Ls down in 3rd taking final bend when under pressure, failed to quicken up. |
6 | 12 | POSA (CE337) | H K Yim | SR | Awkward break and lost ground at start, soon 8Ls last, 7Ls down in 10th turning for home, made some minor late ground past a few tired rivals. |
7 | 11 | FLYING PROFILE (CD168) | C K Tong | B-/TT | Carried head awkwardly early on, 7Ls back in 9th at 1100 M, no closer when steadied turning for home, moderate late headway. |
8 | 7 | NOBLE BOSS (CD360) | F Coetzee | TT- | Slowest away, always in rear group at least 8Ls off the speed until home turn, no impression. |
9 | 5 | BEST CHOICE (CE038) | S Dye | B | Pressed on to lead by 1L on fence 1300 M out, a neck clear from 800 M to straightening for home, all out when headed at 300 M and dropped away. |
10 | 1 | SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) | G Schofield | B/TT | Keen early on, 3-back on fence when 3Ls off pace in 5th at 1200 M, under pressure to keep up at 600 M, dropped out tamely in home straight. |
11 | 8 | PURPLE GOLD (CD249) | R Fradd | B | Caught 3-wide no cover in 4th about 2.5Ls off pace at 1300 M, couldn't get in at any stage and lost position turning for home, emptied right out. |
12 | 3 | KIDDY SING (CD005) | E Saint-Martin | B2/TT2 | Led on fence at 1500 M, headed at 1300 M and adopted box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th, under pressure to lie up 600 M out, soon folded tamely. |
