1 | 9 | CRAIG'S DRAGON (CH131) | D Beadman | -- | Raced on the back of the leader, found the front near the 200 M and kicked strongly along the inside for easy victory. |
2 | 4 | BRAVO BRAVO (CH119) | G Boss | -- | Slow to begin and settled midfield the fence. From on straightening until after the 300 M was held up and unable to obtain clear running, closed off strongly passing the 150 M. |
3 | 10 | FLYING KENNY (CC244) | M W Leung | V | Parked just off midfield, 2 deep with cover. Had to shift out after entering the straight to get into the clear, but after having done so worked home well. |
4 | 13 | KING CREOLE (CG287) | H W Lai | -- | Travelled midfield 3-wide with cover, dashed to the front approaching the 200 M, but peaked on its run over the latter stages. |
5 | 2 | LIFELINE PEGASUS (CH067) | Z Purton | TT | Raced at the rear of the field, was checked near the 800 M, and then raced 4 deep with cover. Made forward move inside the 600 and ran home well down the outside. |
6 | 6 | ICHIBAN (CJ050) | F Coetzee | B1 | Began awkwardly, then proved difficult to settle in the early stages. Settled 1 out 1 back, had every chance. |
7 | 1 | BITE MY DUST (CH170) | C K Tong | -- | Pushed to go forward early, after the 900 M continued to be ridden to avoid being caught racing wide and without cover. Near 800 M shifted across to be 3 wide outside leader no cover thereafter, faded in straight. |
8 | 3 | AMAZING VENTURE (CJ039) | K Shea | -- | When the gates opened was leaning against the outside of its stall, was slow to begin and lost a considerable amount of ground. Settled in last position, came to the outside in the straight and finished off well. |
9 | 5 | HAPPEE GIFT (CH313) | B Prebble | -- | Took up leading duties early in the event along the rail. Hung out on the circles and faded inside the 200 M. |
10 | 7 | JUGGERNAUT (CJ019) | G Mosse | -- | Raced behind midfield and was caught 4-5 deep with cover. Battled away in the run home. |
11 | 14 | GENERAL SPEEDEE (CG193) | W M Lai | TT | Throughout the race travelled wide and without cover behind the speed and near the 800 M was steadied. Never likely. |
12 | 12 | HELLO GIBRALTAR (CH207) | K L Chui | B-/V1 | Slowly away and settled at the rear. Was a beaten horse turning for home. |
13 | 8 | SURE GAIN (CJ038) | Y T Cheng | -- | Raced midfield, 2-wide with cover, struggled under pressure. |
14 | 11 | MAGIC KING (CH182) | D Whyte | XB/B1 | Landed in a forward position and near the 700 M after racing wide and without cover, was ridden along to go forward and shift across to race outside the lead. Copped a check near the 200 M, but was a spent force. |
