1 | 1 | KING HOGAN (CE257) | H W Lai | B | Restrained from wide gate, ended up 7Ls back on fence, always at rear not aided by pace, improved 2-wide passing Rock, held up turning, gained split at 200 M, rocketed home to take front last 50 M and win running away. |
2 | 12 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | M Du Plessis | XB/TT | Began well, went forward to race outside leader, travelled strongly when pace slackened, pressured by 3-wide horse from 600 M, right there turning, beat off challengers but lost advantage last 50 M. |
3 | 4 | MY LUCK (CE256) | Y T Cheng | B/XB | Bounced out, pushed on to take up running, set a steady tempo in mid-section before challenged by horses outside lifted speed to turn, tackled in earnest at 200 M, kept to task creditably to hold placing. |
4 | 6 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | Z Purton | -- | Away nicely, assumed spot on leaders back, had soft run when pace steadied, saved ground to bend, kept on well behind horses along inside to make frame. |
5 | 3 | HERE WE GO (CH247) | K L Chui | B-/TT | Well enough away, slotted into prime position 1 out 1 back, had ideal run throughout, still 1 to 2Ls down on turning, stayed on well in behind horses without looking a threat. |
6 | 8 | BEST POWER (CG006) | D Whyte | B/TT | Little early pace, settled 4 to 5Ls back on rails, had an easy time in mid-section, made good progress 3-wide on bend, did best work late down middle making good ground to be nearest on line. |
7 | 2 | PRIME TARGET (CH242) | C K Tong | -- | Slow into stride, ended up 4 to 5Ls back in running line, made a 3-wide run at 600 M when pace dropped off, level with leaders 3-wide at bend, kept on nicely to 100 M when run ended. |
8 | 10 | SOLAR POWER (CE047) | D Beadman | TT | Even jump, took a position 3-4Ls back on fence, had a cheap trip, in behind horses on turning, lost run at 200 M, got going again late but could find no clear room. Not fully tested. |
9 | 9 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | O Doleuze | -- | Not early pace as usual, ended up 6Ls back on fence, angled 2-wide at 600 M, improved 3-wide on bend, came widest in straight, made moderate headway from impossible spot. |
10 | 7 | FIRST BABY (CG170) | F Coetzee | TT | Out in line, ended up slotting into midfield 4 to 5Ls away in running line, in traffic and held up on turning, clear from 200 M and didn't let down, just held ground late. |
11 | 11 | SIR LAGO (CH268) | G Boss | B | Ordinary getaway, raced 6Ls back in a 2-wide line, always rearward until making a 3-wide move at 600 M, quickly circled 4-wide challenging on bend, soon emptied at 200 M and plugged late. |
