1 | 1 | SHANGDONG GENERAL (CH077) | K L Chui | -- | First to show, behind leader early before angling 2 wide 3Ls back on bend, had ideal trip behind solid speed, switched to middle at 300 M, worked over the top of them last 200 M to score in very fast time. |
2 | 10 | OUR LUCKY BABY (CH187) | W M Lai | -- | Reasonable break, allowed to slot into midfield from a wide alley, raced on rails 4 to 5Ls back, improved on bend 3Ls down turning in, behind horses and switched out at 200 M, closed off nicely for a promising debut. |
3 | 7 | LUCKY HERO (CH135) | M Nunes | -- | Away in line, hard ridden to front, pressured throughout at fast tempo but held inside 1L back, fought back to share lead 1/2L down turning, regained front at 200 M but couldn't hold off principals late after early work. |
4 | 9 | MAGIC KING (CH182) | K T Yeung | SR | Amongst first few to break, showed good pace to challenge for front, lead 1 off fence at a fast tempo, still leading leaving circle without crossing, tackled at 200 M and condition gave out but held on well for 4th. |
5 | 6 | SUPREME GOLD (CH205) | D Whyte | -- | Began with rest, had enough dash to keep with them early, raced 2Ls back in 3rd on strong speed 2 wide, followed nicely with cover on turning, couldn't dash again at 300 M, inexperience told and just weakened last 200 M. |
6 | 3 | JOLLY WONGCHOY (CH076) | C K Tong | -- | Out with line, held a spot behind pace 4Ls back in 5th in running line, urged along to improve on bend despite suitable run, hung in turning, just kept on at same pace in run to line. |
7 | 8 | CRAIG'S DRAGON (CH131) | D Nikolic | -- | Bounced in air and lost ground, soon towards rear, improved to be 8Ls down in 8th on bend, progressed 2 wide on turning, some run on but just holding ground from too far back to make a difference. |
8 | 2 | HORSE POWER (CH079) | S Dye | -- | Slowly away, settled in last few 10Ls back 2 wide made a little ground on bend but lacked experience, urged along on circle, made a little progress in straight but never a real factor. |
9 | 4 | MEDALLION (CG322) | S K Sit | TT | Poor jump, raced at rear on rails 12Ls or more from front runners, still well back with field to beat on bend, managed to pass only tired runners late. |
10 | 11 | SOU MA TAM (CH253) | H W Lai | -- | Tardy to begin, raced ungenerously throughout, ended up in midfield on rails 8Ls back, helped by tempo, was a spent force at 300 M and weakened thereafter. |
11 | 5 | MISSION (CH073) | C W Wong | -- | Moderate getaway and didn't have pace to match them and faded back, raced on fence 10Ls back struggling to hold spot on circle, found nothing when asked in straight. |
12 | 12 | TALE OF FRIENDSHIP (CH184) | Y T Cheng | -- | Awkwardly away, raced greenly again, ended up 2 to 3 wide at rear 12Ls back, still in last trio leaving bend, showed nothing in run to line. |
