1 | 2 | MAVERICK STAR (CE279) | Y T Cheng | -- | Average to begin, hard ridden to take up spot behind the leader, enjoyed run of the race thereafter travelled well on turn, held up until 200 M, surged to lead when clear and held on gamely to score narrow win. (Lost plate.) |
2 | 6 | CHATER SILK (CG050) | C Munce | -- | Standard to break, restrained to tail from wide alley, raced well back on rails 6Ls from pace, not asked in mid-section, in traffic on turning, weaved clear passage at 100 M and flew late to narrowly miss. |
3 | 14 | VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) | D Whyte | -- | Jumped with rest, allowed to take sit off speed, slotted into 1 out 1 back spot 2Ls away, had run of race in mid-section, travelled well to turn, pushed clear at 250 M and charged home to be in 3 way finish. |
4 | 5 | ELEGANT KING PRAWN (CE265) | S Dye | -- | Fast into stride, showed usual speed to take up running, dictated terms in front with even sections, held 1/2L on turning, fought on strongly in straight and only claimed at 100 M. Stuck on well to make frame. |
5 | 1 | COURAGEOUSHEART (CD202) | B Prebble | B | Away with rest, allowed to roll forward to assume spot at leaders girth, relaxed well and had good run with easy speed, 1/2L away on turning, kept giving until 200 M (bumped) but lacked turn of foot to figure late. |
6 | 12 | CELEBRATION (CB029) | G Schofield | B | Crowded on jumping and lost position, niggled along to hold midfield spot, raced 2 wide 5Ls away in middle stages, not asked to do a lot until turn, eased out and closed race off well without really threatening. |
7 | 7 | ENCHANTED (CE065) | A Delpech | SR | Began best, unable to cross early and settled just off leaders, raced 3 wide without cover 2Ls away, always working to turn, still in mix until 200 M but hard run took effect and weakened out late. (Blood in trachea.) |
8 | 8 | DILIGENT (CC285) | H W Lai | CP | Bounced out well, taken back from awkward alley to race at rear, made a little ground to race 6Ls away but always wide in middle stages, had field to beat on turn, made up good late ground from too far back. |
9 | 4 | GALLANT FALCON (CD194) | K L Chui | TT | Standard to begin, hard ridden to take close order, settled into 3 wide spot 5Ls away in midfield, eased 4 wide with a run on turn, made some ground late from well back. |
10 | 10 | FLYING KENNY (CC244) | W M Lai | V | Fair to break, outpaced early and drifted back to settle just off midfield, 2 wide 6Ls away throughout, not travelling on turn, raced very one paced in straight and only held ground to line. |
11 | 9 | FAIR WIN (CE027) | E Saint-Martin | B- | Awkward to begin, settled at rear in 2 wide spot 9 to 10Ls away, lobbed along at tail throughout, tracked rails and had job to do on turning, unable to make any real impression in straight. |
12 | 13 | MILITARY OPTION (CD237) | D Dunn | -- | Average to leave gates, assumed usual rearward role, raced 2 wide 7 to 8Ls from frontrunners, not asked in mid-section, angled widest on turning, didn't offer much in run home and was one paced to line. |
13 | 11 | WIN FOR ALL (CD002) | M W Leung | -- | Poor to break, pushed along to hold midfield spot, raced 4 to 5Ls away on rails, used no petrol in mid-section, struggled when pace increased at 300 M, showed nothing and plugged to line. |
14 | 3 | AWESOME DRAGON (CG210) | S K Sit | -- | Even break from widest alley, pushed forward to take closer order, forced to race 3 and 4 wide without cover in midfield, always working to turn, dropped right out in straight after hard run. |
