1 | 14 | SHATIN WIN WIN (CE284) | W M Lai | XB-/H/TT2 | Worse than midfield 3-wide with cover about 6Ls off pace before straightening, ran on strongly down centre of the track to lead on the line. |
2 | 3 | ROCKET POWER (CH136) | F Coetzee | B/TT | Took a while to muster speed but led by 1L on fence at 1000 M, held same margin 200 M out when hard ridden, foiled on the line to end up 2nd. |
3 | 5 | BAAZIGAR (CG171) | S Dye | -- | Settled in rear on fence about 7Ls off pace down backstretch, under pressure in same position turning for home, ran on well through the field for a place, would have won with more ground. |
4 | 4 | SPARE A DIME (CH155) | D Whyte | -- | With cover in midfield through first half about 4Ls off pace, hung out on the circle and under pressure to improve on final corner, stayed on dourly, nearest at finish. |
5 | 2 | PACHINKO (CH208) | B Prebble | -- | 3-wide with cover and one from rear about 7Ls off pace through early stages, in a worse position circling for home, made some modest late ground past beaten rivals. |
6 | 1 | CONQUEROR (CE270) | S K Sit | V | 4-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in midfield at halfway, slipped back to 5Ls down entering homestretch, kept on at the same pace. |
7 | 13 | PALIO KING (CG073) | P H Lo | TT | Keen early on but held box-seat position on fence in 3rd from 1000 M to home turn, still with place prospects at furlong pole, faded out and no excuses. |
8 | 6 | FORTUNE WHEEL (CH018) | G Mosse | TT | Prominent but 3-wide no cover early on, 1L off pace in 2nd out 2-wide tracking leader from 1000 M to home straight, all out in same position at the 200 M, weakened. |
9 | 10 | ABLE STANDARD (CG043) | Z Purton | B/TT | Better than midfield about 3Ls off pace down the back but left 3-wide no cover on the circle and 2Ls down in 4th off final bend, didn't find much under pressure. |
10 | 8 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | K Shea | -- | 3-back on fence down backstretch about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace in midfield, steadily lost position from the 600 M and plugged on home without posing any danger. |
11 | 11 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | Y T Cheng | B/XB/TT | Trapped 4-wide no cover throughout, about 5Ls behind pace in 10th or so at the 1000 M, widest and further back entering homestretch, made no impact. |
12 | 12 | COME HO CHOI (CE082) | C K Tong | B | Slowest away and 7Ls last at the 1200 M, marginally better off swinging for home straight, no impression. |
13 | 7 | SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) | O Doleuze | -- | Worse than midfield 900 M out when niggled along about 6Ls off pace, struggling in rear making final turn, never in touch thereafter. |
14 | 9 | TERRAFERMA (CG016) | D Beadman | V-/XB/CP1/TT | Over-raced early on, 2Ls back in 4th at the 800 M and same into home straight, emptied out and eased final 100 M. (Bled.) |
