1 | 7 | MONTE CRISTO (CH120) | G Mosse | -- | Slow into stride, back with last few 2 wide 8Ls off speed, helped by genuine tempo, still well back turning, made solid ground between horses picking up well last 200 M to hit front and score with some in hand. |
2 | 6 | FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) | Y T Cheng | TT1 | Standard break, drifted back towards tail, raced greenly 8Ls back in running line, helped by reasonable speed, still well back on turning, took a while to balance up however put it together last 200 M doing best work late. |
3 | 4 | SPARE A DIME (CH155) | D Whyte | -- | Fairly away, taken back from a wide alley, raced 6 or more lengths away in 2 wide line, suited by speed, into clear running turning and looked a threat but just produced a one paced finish final furlong. Needs further. |
4 | 3 | BLISS STAR (CE311) | B Prebble | TT | Began well, pressed on in search of front, held lead nearly 1 length clear but couldn't find rail, kept pressure on throughout, held advantage turning and led to 200 M, couldn't keep up effort and overhauled last furlong. |
5 | 13 | SIMPLY JOY (CH052) | S Dye | -- | Even jump, assumed a midfield role 4 to 5Ls back on rails, enjoyed a soft trip, moved 2 wide on circle, in between horses turning, clear last 300 M but only turned in a one paced effort. |
6 | 10 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | H W Lai | V | Out well, pressed on to take a prominent spot 1 out 2 back 3 to 4Ls away, came 3 wide on bend and made progress to get within a length at 200 M, couldn't dash again and just kept on steadily. |
7 | 2 | MAGI JOY (CH056) | E Saint-Martin | B | Began with first few, raced 3Ls back on fence, had run of race on back of speed, not asked in mid-section, kept to fence turning in, into clear running shortly after but only battled at same speed. |
8 | 11 | NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) | M Nunes | -- | Slow to begin, ended up behind midfield on rails 6Ls or more from front, suited by speed on, made some steady progress to 200 M but only held ground thereafter. |
9 | 8 | TELEWIN (CJ010) | K L Chui | TT1 | Began with them, took up spot in midfield 3 wide with cover 5Ls back, did share of work in run, didn't respond in straight and just kept on at same speed racing greenly. |
10 | 1 | OWNERS LAD (CG273) | D Beadman | B | Out in line, slotted in to midfield spot 2 wide 5Ls back, suited in run, angled clear on turning in, found little last 300 M, struggling late. (Blood in trachea.) |
11 | 12 | SILLY BOY (CC094) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Showed plenty of pace to lead them early, held rails but pressured throughout by outside horse, 1L back on inside on turning, no dash at business end and folded tamely. |
12 | 14 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | C W Wong | B | Began awkwardly and lost ground when checked, raced well back at rear 10Ls from speed, never really in it and set a big task from bend, only passed tired runners in straight. |
13 | 5 | VICTORY START (CG216) | W M Lai | TT | Began awkwardly, ended up racing 3 wide behind midfield 6Ls back, never nearer on bend, found nothing when asked and lost touch in straight. |
14 | 9 | GREAT HERO (CH016) | C K Tong | B | Began well, pressed on from a wide gate to be 3 wide without cover for first half, slipped in 2 wide 2 to 3Ls back on bend, under pressure on turning, soon weakened and gave in easily when run took toll. |
