1 | 2 | MUTUAL FUN (CH098) | D Whyte | SR | Travelled mainly 3 wide towards the rear. Shifted out for a run upon straightening. Quickened well to take charge over 150 M out gaining a 1L break before eroded by runner-up's late vain challenge. |
2 | 4 | TRIUMPHANT DIAMOND (CG227) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Jumped well from poor draw. Gradually taken back to travel in rear of field. Slightly hampered by winner turning in and loomed up inside final 300 M down centre of track to only miss by a neck. |
3 | 13 | FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) | K W Tsui | B | Travelled mainly one off the rails just behind midfield. Did not find too much clear running early in straight before running on steadily without threatening. |
4 | 11 | SINOSPIEL (CG003) | K L Chui | B | Travelled in 5th in better than midfield position. Closer up when only a length down turning in. Came to challenge under pressure but could only keep on at the one pace. |
5 | 6 | HOLD HANDS (CH116) | S Dye | SR | Close up when wide early. Took up running 1000 M out. Joined into straight but fought on well to retain advantage, however, unable to sustain effort about 150 M out. |
6 | 10 | MIRACULOUS (CE115) | F Coetzee | -- | Never far off. Gradually improved around home bend to share pace into straight. Unable to quicken and faded steadily inside final 200 M. |
7 | 8 | MEDIC LEGION (CE162) | G Mosse | -- | Travelled 3-wide in mid-division. Ran home one-paced under pressure. |
8 | 5 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | O Doleuze | B/H/TT | Settled at the back. Ran on quite well in straight to be nearest at finish. |
9 | 9 | BARRACUDA (CB320) | P H Lo | -- | Driven to lead early. Soon headed and settled one back on rails passing 1000 M. Similar when joint 3rd in box-seat turning in. Gradually faded inside final 200 M. |
10 | 7 | VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) | B Prebble | B/XB | Raced wide in midfield. Gained closer turning in. Soon dropped out tamely. |
11 | 1 | KING ACRYLIC (CG295) | H W Lai | B/TT | Broke well and travelled in close-up position. Made steady headway 3-wide outside leader rounding home bend. Nearly drew level turning in but soon folded up quickly. |
12 | 3 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | C W Wong | V | Midfield to straight. Faded gradually. |
13 | 12 | KA KA SMART (CG042) | Y T Cheng | B | Never seen with a chance travelling in last few throughout. |
