1 | 2 | CRAIG'S DRAGON (CH131) | G Boss | -- | Began with them, camped behind leaders 2Ls off lead, improved to be on terms at 200 M, asserted authority last 100 M and went on for another strong win. |
2 | 7 | AMAZING JOURNEY (CH281) | W M Lai | B1 | No great early pace, raced in middle of bunch 2 to 3Ls back, tracked well throughout, shifted at 200 M into clear running, closed race off nicely making good late ground. |
3 | 3 | LUCIA (CH229) | D Whyte | XB1 | Unbalanced on jumping, regathered and raced 2Ls back towards middle, improved from 500 M, kept finding inside last 300 M to land a solid 3rd. Nice debut. |
4 | 6 | MEDALLION (CG322) | Z Purton | TT | Moderate getaway, soon at rear racing along outside rail, 5Ls back, made ground from 400 M, 3Ls down at 150 M, steadied 50 M when finishing hard to make frame. |
5 | 10 | TOWKAY FLYER (CJ036) | G Mosse | -- | Showed natural pace to be up sharing lead off outside fence, kept pace genuine throughout, right there to 150 M before condition gave out and was passed late. |
6 | 1 | TREASURE COLT (CE308) | K Shea | SR-/B1/TT | Slow into stride, lost further ground when checked, rearward 4Ls back, in traffic when improving at 600 M and checked at 400 M, continued to make good headway before striking more trouble inside last 50 M. |
7 | 14 | GENERAL SPEEDEE (CG193) | S K Sit | TT | Began well enough, not far away early but ended up 3Ls back by midpoint racing in centre of course, tried hard but lacked pick up over the concluding stages. |
8 | 9 | TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) | O Doleuze | -- | Crowded shortly after start, ended up 3Ls or so back in midfield towards centre of course, didn't have another gear and just held ground in run to line. |
9 | 4 | SOLDIER ON (CD230) | B Prebble | CP | Standard jump, raced 3Ls back towards outside rail, niggled along at midpoint, lacked extra dash last furlong, battled away in run to line. |
10 | 5 | TOP STITCH (CE273) | C K Tong | TT | Showed customary pace, shared lead between middle and outside rail, kept speed genuine throughout there to 300 M but capitulated quickly which is now becoming a common scenario in these events. |
11 | 8 | LUCKY QUALITY (CH134) | F Coetzee | -- | Plenty of natural pace, up sharing lead towards stand side, niggled from 400 M, found little when asked and fitness gave out swiftly, checked at 200 M when weakening. |
12 | 11 | WIN MORE (CH243) | S Dye | CP1 | No pace from jump, lost ground and raced detached 8Ls or so away, niggled throughout, made little impression in run to line. |
13 | 12 | CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) | Y T Cheng | -- | Ordinary jump, raced detached at rear of main group, best part of 8Ls back towards centre of course, never nearer. |
14 | 13 | HEART TO HEART (CH160) | H W Lai | CP1 | Standard jump, raced 2 to 3Ls back on outside rail, under pressure at midpoint, found nothing and dropped right out. |
