1 | 10 | MEDIC POWER (CG303) | B Prebble | -- | Box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd until home turn, edged out into clear running to lead over 250 M out, always well in command. |
2 | 6 | GOLDEN CROWN (CH100) | D Whyte | -- | 3-back on fence about 4Ls off speed in 5th at 800 M, hung in on straightening and 3Ls down in 4th, continued to hang with awkward head carriage, easy 2nd but had little hope with winner. |
3 | 2 | CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) | O Doleuze | B/TT | On fence about 6Ls off speed at 800 M, no closer taking home bend but ran on pretty well to grab a place in final 50 M. |
4 | 12 | THE ONE (CG319) | M Nunes | TT | Checked at start and raced 4-back on fence about 5Ls off speed in midfield early, still 5Ls down in 6th turning for home, stayed on at much the same tempo. |
5 | 3 | PROGRESSING TIMES (CC231) | G Mosse | TT | On fence about 8Ls off pace towards rear early, not a lot closer taking home turn and one-paced thereafter. |
6 | 13 | WILD ACE (CH009) | Y T Cheng | -- | With cover in rear about 8Ls off speed early, similarly placed when without clear running room turning for home, finished off fairly down centre of track. |
7 | 11 | GRASS HOPPER (CD050) | C W Wong | B/TT | Best away and soon clear by about half a length on fence, about 1L to the good off final bend, headed by winner over 250 M out and only plugged on at same pace. |
8 | 1 | THUNDER VALLEY (CG074) | D Nikolic | B1 | Took some time to load, soon half a length of pace in 2nd out 2-wide, 1L down in 2nd taking home bend, didn't find much off the bridle and faded late. |
9 | 4 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | E Saint-Martin | -- | 3-wide no cover down the backstretch in mid-division about 5Ls from the front, got in 2-wide with cover in the circle but never looked like making much progress in the finish. |
10 | 7 | HOLD HANDS (CH116) | S Dye | -- | Never travelled well, about 6Ls off pace at 800 M and soon became unbalanced and under pressure out 3-wide no cover, 4-wide entering stretch in rear bunch and stayed there. |
11 | 5 | CLEMENT ELITE (CH004) | F Coetzee | -- | 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in 4th at the 800 M, hung out when under pressure turning for home and 3Ls off pace, dropped away rapidly. |
12 | 14 | WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) | M W Leung | B | 2-wide in midfield about 5Ls off pace at 800 M, steadied at 700 M and slipped a little further back taking final bend, petered out. |
13 | 8 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | K L Chui | XB/TT | Fractious in gates and slowest away, soon 10Ls off pace in last position, did not threaten to get much closer. |
14 | 9 | MAKE A MINT (CH005) | C Soumillon | -- | Bumped at start, always towards rear about 8Ls off speed, left 3-wide no cover on the circle, detached turning for home and soon well beaten. |
