1 | 10 | SUPREME DRAGON (CH161) | E Saint-Martin | B | 3-wide with cover in midfield about 4Ls from early pace, 3Ls off front spinning for home, briefly held up at 200 M, got up inside final strides. |
2 | 14 | MEGA BULLET (CH192) | M Du Plessis | B | Restrained in 11th initially, headway on the circle to go 2Ls back in 3rd, led 200 M out, stayed on well but grabbed by winner inside final two bounds. |
3 | 1 | NASA PEARL (CC068) | K C Leung | -- | One from rear 8Ls behind leader at 1000 M, steady improvement to be 4Ls back in mid-division at top of home straight, stayed on well to get 3rd on line. |
4 | 7 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | B Prebble | B | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at halfway, led about 500 M out but headed at the 200 M and missed out on a place in the final few metres. |
5 | 3 | EVER KING (CE147) | D Beadman | V/TT | 5-back on the rails about 6Ls from the pace early on, further back in rear off last turn, made good late headway on outside and just missed a place. (Questioned.) |
6 | 8 | PERFECT MATCH (CJ072) | D Whyte | B1 | 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls from the speed at first, checked 500 M out, still with 4Ls to make up into straight, couldn't quite reach principals. |
7 | 6 | KA KA SMART (CG042) | Z Purton | B/H | 3-wide without cover throughout, 2Ls back in 4th or 5th at halfway, 1L down in 2nd entering the straight, one-paced inside final 200 M. |
8 | 13 | LOHAN (CH279) | C W Wong | B | A little better than midfield with cover about 3Ls or so from the pace until home straight, very one-paced to conclude. |
9 | 4 | HOLIGAN (CH003) | W C Marwing | B- | 8Ls last at 1200 M, 6Ls down turning for home out wide, 3Ls back in mid-division at the furlong pole but couldn't draw any closer. |
10 | 2 | SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) | O Doleuze | B | Slow to begin and 6Ls back in 12th at the 1200 M, hardly any closer entering home straight, made only very minor late ground. |
11 | 5 | WONG'S SUCCESS (CE107) | H W Lai | B | 4-back along the fence down back straight in midfield about 5Ls from the speed, slipped back to last on straightening, remained behind. |
12 | 12 | KEEN SPIRIT (CJ022) | K T Yeung | B/TT | 3-back on the fence when 4Ls off speed in midfield at 1000 M, similarly placed rounding home turn, didn't pick up and eased late when beaten. |
13 | 11 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | W M Lai | -- | 2Ls back in 3rd on fence at the 800 M when a bit keen, hampered before the home turn and soon struggling, eased some way from the line. |
14 | 9 | CITY SURFER (CG129) | C K Tong | B/H | Crossed from widest gate to lead by 1L at 1400 M, headed 500 M out and beaten before the straight, later found with irregular heartbeat and distressed. (Lame next day.) |
