1 | 3 | COME HO CHOI (CE082) | B Prebble | B | Away in line, restrained from a wide alley, raced 2-wide 8Ls off pace, tempo even throughout, tracked 3-wide on circle, eased to middle 6Ls back turning, closed steadily to snatch victory on line. |
2 | 12 | AS YOU WISH (CE290) | A Delpech | V/TT | Slowly out, took a spot behind midfield 6 to 7Ls back in 2-wide line, not asked to work before improving 3-wide on bend, came with strong run from well back to hit lead at 150 M, collared right on line. |
3 | 13 | MIRACLE DRAGON (CD254) | F Coetzee | B2 | Ordinary jump, ridden along to take a midfield spot in running line, raced 2-wide 5 to 6Ls off speed, not harmed by position, back in traffic turning in, clear from 250 M and made many lengths late for 3rd. |
4 | 1 | MAIN ATTRACTION (CB218) | Y T Cheng | V | Away well, held a more prominent role 1 out 1 back 2Ls behind leaders, followed even tempo to bend, closed steadily at same speed in straight to make frame. |
5 | 5 | CHARMING SPEEDY (CE186) | C W Wong | B/TT | Out with rest, hard ridden to hold a spot in midfield on rails 5Ls off pace, had an ideal trip and not asked to bend, got split at 850 M but didn't have another gear and just held ground to line. |
6 | 2 | SINOSPIEL (CG003) | K L Chui | B | Moderate break, ended up in midfield racing 2-wide 4 to 5Ls off pace, had a suitable run to bend, a little unbalanced on turning, regathered but produced only a one-paced finish. |
7 | 8 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | D Whyte | B | Tardy to begin, ridden along at tail, made some progress to settle 6Ls off speed in 10th place, enjoyed a soft run on rails, still well back turning, held up to 200 M and only really clear when race was over. |
8 | 9 | LUCKY CORDELIA (CD088) | W M Lai | -- | Reasonable break, showed speed to take a spot 3Ls off pace in 2-wide line, suited by tempo and travelled well on bend, urged along turning, lacked a dash but kept on to 100 M before run ended. |
9 | 10 | CHALLENGER (CE138) | G Mosse | TT | Restrained from outset, ended up trailing field 9 to 10Ls off speed, helped by even pace, still had field to beat on turning, switched out and passed a few but gave too great a start. |
10 | 14 | A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) | H K Yim | TT | Amongst first few to jump, took up spot 2Ls back on rails trailing speed, tracked at a reasonable pace to bend, eased into clear but run ended at 200 M and weakened thereafter. |
11 | 11 | DANSING FUN (CE202) | M Nunes | B | First to hit ground, challenged for lead, kept pressure on at an even pace when unable to cross, did work to bend, run took toll at 200 M and dropped out tamely. |
12 | 4 | GLOBAL WAY (CG158) | D Nikolic | V/TT | Showed plenty of early pace, held lead on rails but worried throughout, shaded on circle and kicked back on turning, had no answer when tackled at 200 M and weakened late. |
13 | 7 | A PLUS FIT (CD013) | H W Lai | B | Even getaway but failed to muster, urged along in a rearward post, raced 8Ls back on rails, had a quiet trip to bend, made only moderate progress in straight. |
14 | 6 | WORLD SERIES (CG121) | E Saint-Martin | B | Little speed from outset, raced 3-wide near tail 8Ls off pace, covered ground to bend, found nothing in run to line. |
