1 | 12 | O'REILLY RALLY (CH266) | B Prebble | TT | Got a fair way behind, 6Ls down in 10th with 600 M to race, 4-wide off final turn when 5Ls back in midfield, quickened up very well to lead inside final 50 M, value for greater margin. |
2 | 6 | MONEY MAN (CG115) | C K Tong | CP- | Hard ridden to lead on fence from widest gate at the 900 M by 1L, headed at top of home straight but rallied to lead again 250 M out, collared by classy winner final 50 M, solid effort. |
3 | 2 | ALWAYS GIGGLE (CG086) | G Mosse | B | Always well behind in rear and covering plenty of ground down backstretch, 5-wide without cover at 900 M when 6Ls back in 13th, no closer turning for home, finished strongly out wide for a place. |
4 | 10 | SUPER MUSIC (CG248) | A Delpech | B/TT | Good performance despite tough trip, prominent but caught wide early, pressed on 4-wide no cover to lead at top of stretch, headed about 250 M out, lost a place in closing stages. |
5 | 8 | STEP TO WIN (CG167) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Handy position with cover about 2Ls off pace early, fired up at the 800 M but still 2Ls off pace in 4th taking final bend, 1L down in 3rd at the 200 M, no extra final 100 M. |
6 | 1 | WIN AGAIN (CD371) | D Whyte | B/SR1 | Mostly midfield with cover between 3Ls and 4Ls off pace until home turn, kept on fairly without posing a serious threat in the straight. |
7 | 5 | MELLIFLUOUS (CH212) | O Doleuze | XB/H1 | Always prominent but always wanted to hang in, 1L off pace in 2nd out 2-wide at the 800 M, 1L back in 3rd off home turn, weakened inside final 200 M. |
8 | 9 | LUCKY FRUIT (CG026) | D Nikolic | -- | Got well back, 9Ls last at the 900 M mark, 6Ls down in 12th turning for home, never likely to improve better than mid-division. |
9 | 14 | DR POSSI (CE288) | M W Leung | -- | Always towards rear on the fence, about 5Ls off pace when tight for room at the 800 M, same position on straightening, always well held. |
10 | 11 | ASIAN CITRUS (CH246) | F Coetzee | -- | Had the box-seat position about 2Ls off pace on fence in 4th from 800 M to home bend, very one-paced thereafter. |
11 | 13 | BROWN BEAR (CH125) | Y T Cheng | -- | No early pace and held rails position in midfield about 4Ls off speed until home turn, failed to quicken up with the principals. |
12 | 4 | BE MY SONG (CH272) | W M Lai | B1 | Awkward break and raced ungenerously with head up down the back while racing about 5Ls off pace and worse than midfield, always remained a similar distance from the pace. |
13 | 3 | LUMINOUS (CE300) | S K Sit | -- | Better than midfield about 2Ls off pace down the backstretch, left 3-wide without cover at the 600 M, petered out once straightened for home. |
14 | 7 | SHY BALDY (CH168) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Unacceptable performance, raced freely without cover down the back straight, 5Ls back in 10th at the 800 M, slipped back to last entering homestretch and soon eased down. |
