1 | 10 | KING ACRYLIC (CG295) | C K Tong | B/TT | Hit ground running and showed plenty to lead, dictated terms from outset with steady speed, still controlled race 1L clear on turning, found plenty in straight to hold off placegetters late. Well clear of rest. |
2 | 7 | BOLD WIN (CE282) | B Prebble | B | Began well, assumed spot 3Ls back on rails, had a soft trip with steady tempo, used nothing to bend, followed nicely and made ground on leader last 300 M but didn't have enough to quite get there. |
3 | 6 | BEST POWER (CG006) | O Doleuze | B1 | No pace as usual at back early but drove through to race 4Ls back on rails, had a quiet time in mid-section racing closer than expected, in behind horses turning, warmed up last 200 M to close stylishly for 3rd. |
4 | 14 | SPECIAL DAYS (CH236) | D Whyte | -- | Began a little awkwardly and lost ground, ended up in ideal spot 1 out 1 back, overraced in mid-section, a little unbalanced turning, closed off nicely when balanced up to make frame. Still green. |
5 | 8 | FIRST BABY (CG170) | F Coetzee | CP/TT | No pace from outset, ended up 3 wide towards rear, 7Ls away, disadvantaged by slow tempo in middle stages. Still some margin away turing, switched to outside and made good progress from an impossible spot. |
6 | 4 | SOUTH BREEZE (CG241) | G Mosse | -- | Standard jump, unable to slot in and caught 4 wide beyond midfield, did plenty of work and not helped by tempo, came 4 wide turning, kept coming in straight to be nearest at finish. |
7 | 3 | MEDICO (CH075) | Z Purton | -- | No early pace, ended up 5Ls back in running line, not helped by pace, back between horses on bend, held up 200 M, made steady progress through pack when clear in straight without threatening. |
8 | 1 | NICE KING (CG147) | Y T Cheng | B | No pace from outset, raced in rearward division 6Ls away on rails, not used in mid-section, pace was a disadvantage and overraced on bend, only battled on at same speed in straight. |
9 | 11 | NOBLE TWINS (CH257) | W M Lai | -- | Began well enough, shuffled when trying to slot in, raced 7Ls back in running line, not assisted by tempo, still well back on bend, only managed to hold ground in straight |
10 | 13 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | H W Lai | -- | Out reasonably, tried to angle in but instead posted 3 wide without cover in midfield 4Ls back, did share of work to bend, 4 wide turning, threatened to 300 M but flattened thereafter and weakened late. |
11 | 9 | AMAZING ME (CH080) | S K Sit | XB/TT | Amongst first few to begin, assumed spot on leaders back, had ideal trip with steady tempo, moved 3 wide at 800 M, right there on turning, couldn't dash with them at 300 M and faded last furlong. |
12 | 12 | SUPER MUSIC (CG248) | M Nunes | B-/TT | Ordinary to break and ended up at rear, raced 8Ls back, harmed by tempo, still sharing tail on turning, only passed tired runners late. |
13 | 5 | BODACIOUS (CD170) | M W Leung | V/TT | Taken back from outside alley, raced mid-section further back than usual 8Ls back 2 wide, trained by slow pace, had field to beat on bend, found little in straight and just plodded last 200 M. (See Racing Incidents.) |
14 | 2 | SHANGDONG GENERAL (CH077) | K L Chui | -- | Had some early pace, crossed to race outside leader, had a reasonable run in mid-section, 3 wide turning in, there to 250 M but faded out thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.) |
