1 | 8 | TOM'S SIX (CG264) | G Boss | B | Out in line, ridden move forward than usual racing outside leader, suited by leisurely sections throughout, 1L off leader on circle, responded well turning to take over at 150 M and keep margin in run to line. |
2 | 4 | NILOMETER (CD052) | Y T Cheng | TT | Away well, rolled forward to take up running, set a slow tempo to suit, held a 1L advantage on bend, tried to kick in straight but caught at 150 M, fought on strongly to line. |
3 | 1 | FAMOUS DANCER (CD353) | E Saint-Martin | XB/H | No early pace, took a spot on rails 5Ls back, pace against in mid-section, saved ground on bend, made solid headway without going round a horse in straight to take 3rd. |
4 | 9 | ROCKET WIN (CE249) | H W Lai | P/XB | Began with more purpose, obtained a more prominent position than usual 3Ls away on fence, had an easy run with below average sections, tracked well on bend, took inside runs and kept on soundly to make frame. |
5 | 5 | GALEN WIN (CJ065) | K L Chui | CP | Broke nicely, assumed a prime position on leaders back, had run of race but travelled a little too keenly with steady pace, ready to strike on turning but couldn't get closer inside 200 M. |
6 | 10 | INFINITE DELIGHT (CG314) | F Coetzee | B/TT | Began well, slotted into ideal spot 1 out 1 back, had desirable run with modest pace on, right there easing 3-wide on turning, one-paced in straight and only managed to hold ground in run to line. |
7 | 3 | SOUNDS BEST (CE255) | M Nunes | TT | No pace from break, ended up 6Ls back on rails, shared rear throughout and disadvantaged by slow pace at top end, still well back making bend, made good progress along inside from impossible spot. |
8 | 12 | LHOJONG (CG281) | D Whyte | B/SR | Taken in behind runners from the outside alley, ended up 6Ls back in running line, harmed by slow tempo in middle stages, improved 3-wide on bend making solid progress, kept closing to be nearest on line. |
9 | 2 | YOUNG HERO (CH071) | O Doleuze | XB | Fair getaway, assumed a midfield position in running line 3-4Ls from front runners, travelled well in run, urged along turning, progressed to 200 M when run closed however only held ground when clear thereafter. |
10 | 7 | NORTHERNER (CD293) | G Mosse | XB | Lacked early pace, positioned behind midfield 5Ls back in running line, didn't have race run to suit, still had job to do well back leaving bend, only struggled in straight. |
11 | 6 | ELFHELM (CC342) | Z Purton | B | Even jump, unable to slot in and posted 3-wide without cover 5Ls back, did it tough covering ground with pace against gradually improved on bend, unable to sprint turning and faded out in straight. |
