1 | 8 | CAGA BOY (CG060) | K T Yeung | -- | Best away and led early, handed up to race 3-back on fence 3Ls off pace from 1000 M, closer on straightening, battled gamely to wrest the lead final strides. |
2 | 12 | SUPER BABY (CH227) | M Du Plessis | TT | Slowest out, with cover in midfield 5Ls off pace at halfway, flanked winner turning in, led about 100 M out, hung in close home, headed final strides. |
3 | 6 | NORTH HILL (CJ082) | B Prebble | -- | 3Ls back in 5th with cover at 1000 M, attacked out 3-wide turning for home and led 300 M out, no response to quinella pair when headed about 100 M out. |
4 | 5 | MASCOT FORTUNE (CH221) | G Mosse | XB | Box-seated in 4th at 1200 M, shuffled back to midfield off last turn, ran on well again in the straight but no chance with leading trio. |
5 | 11 | PACHINKO (CH208) | G Boss | B/TT | Worse than midfield about 7Ls behind at halfway, made some good late ground through the field but too late for a significant impact. |
6 | 3 | CHINA WIN (CJ147) | Y T Cheng | B | Taken back from widest gate, towards rear 7Ls adrift at 1000 M and not much closer turning in, made a little late ground, never nearer. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
7 | 1 | WIN AGAIN (CD371) | D Beadman | B/SR | Restrained from wide gate, left 3-wide without cover from the 800 M when 7Ls back in 12th, ran on okay in the straight without really threatening. (Tactic questioned.) |
8 | 9 | ENCHANTED (CE065) | F Coetzee | TT | Didn't break well, keen early when about 5Ls back in midfield, 3-wide no cover from the 800 M, one-paced in the homestretch. |
9 | 10 | BRILLIANT CHAPTER (CJ100) | Z Purton | -- | Close-up until home straight, 1L back in 4th at the 1200 M and in 3rd just 1L down turning for home, hanging on 200 M out but weak inside final furlong. |
10 | 4 | FAVOURITE SUPREME (CH203) | W M Lai | TT | Got back as usual, 9Ls last 900 M out, 7Ls off pace turning for home, made some very minor late progress through beaten horses. |
11 | 7 | CALIFORNIA LUCK (CG215) | K L Chui | TT | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1200 M, still close up but under pressure to maintain proximity off last bend, steadily gave ground. |
12 | 13 | WINBO (CJ085) | D Whyte | -- | Disputed early pace out 3-wide no cover, led by 1L 600 M out, headed 300 M out and weakened rapidly. |
13 | 2 | FERRO BEAU (CG244) | C K Tong | -- | Trapped 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, keen early also, 4Ls back in midfield 900 M out, 4-wide off last bend, soon struggling and beaten 200 M out. (Heart irregularity.) |
