1 | 3 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | Z Purton | -- | 4-back along rails, 7Ls adrift in 9th at 1000 M, progressed on the circle and poked through to lead 150 M out towards inner, driven out to prevail. |
2 | 4 | AURELIAN (CC025) | Y T Cheng | B- | 6Ls back in 8th out 2-wide at 1000 M, 4Ls back but briefly held up at top of home straight, stayed on well for 2nd without really testing the winner. |
3 | 2 | TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) | H W Lai | -- | 9Ls off pace in 12th at 1000 M, improved to be 4Ls down off final turn and kept on to briefly lead 200 M out, couldn't sustain the bid but held a place. |
4 | 5 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | O Doleuze | B | Devoid of early pace, detached in rear 14Ls from the pace at 1000 M, ran on pretty well through final 600 M to take an unlikely 4th, never nearer. |
5 | 8 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | K L Chui | B/TT | 8Ls back in 10th out 2-wide at 1000 M, still worse than midfield about 6Ls down off last bend, retrieved a little late ground, nearest at finish. |
6 | 14 | WINNING PATTERN (CG125) | M W Leung | B-/H-/PC2 | Hard ridden to lead by 1L from 1400 M to home turn, headed 200 M out and gradually slipped out of the money. |
7 | 6 | TALE OF FRIENDSHIP (CH184) | G Mosse | B/SR | Slow to muster early pace, one from rear about 12Ls last at 1000 M, 5-wide off last bend, ran on okay through a few tiring rivals. |
8 | 10 | GOLD DIGGER (CD101) | W M Lai | CP | Box-seated in 4th about 2Ls behind early pace on fence and still right there entering homestretch, failed to find another gear, weakened late. |
9 | 7 | CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) | D Whyte | B/TT | Enjoyed a soft run on fence 4Ls behind speed around midfield from backstretch to home turn, held up for a run at 200 M, didn't recover. |
10 | 12 | STARFINDER (CH074) | M Du Plessis | B | On fence but worse than midfield 9Ls behind pace at 1200 M, 6Ls back off last bend, always chasing at least half the field. |
11 | 13 | HAPPY ASH (CG106) | C K Tong | V/XB | Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout, between 1L and 2Ls back in 3rd from 1200 M to home turn, yielded ground after extra work in final 300 M. |
12 | 1 | GOLD GEM (CG197) | D Beadman | CP/TT | 4Ls back in 7th out 2-wide at 1000 M, improved to a more threatening position into straight, nothing there when asked to pick up, eased late. |
13 | 9 | PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) | S K Sit | TT | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1200 M, under pressure to retain this proximity into home straight, dropped out very quickly. |
14 | 11 | GLOBAL WAY (CG158) | G Boss | B/TT | 2Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, steadily lost this position on the circle, very poor ending, unacceptable. |
