1 | 12 | WARM EMBRACES (CJ162) | W M Lai | -- | Even break, travelled smoothly on the rail in mid-division 3Ls back, taken wide entering home straight, picked up in good fashion and wore down the race leader inside 50 M. Won with a bit to spare. |
2 | 1 | LHOJONG (CG281) | D Whyte | -- | Quickly taken to a 3-wide spot in midfield after start, shuffled back coming off the 1st turn, pressed inside 400 M, came home strongly down the outside of track, just got up to take 2nd on the line. |
3 | 4 | PRIME TARGET (CH242) | O Doleuze | -- | Standard jump, assumed a position in midfield, unsuited by the slow pace and ran a touch keen early, moved closer on turning, threatened with a strong run but the winner had pulled clear. |
4 | 3 | COUNTRY MAGIC (CH069) | B Prebble | TT | Average beginning, rolled forward to chase leader, enjoyed a run under slow tempo, pressed leader on the turn, hit front inside 300 M, all out but effort just flattened 100 M out. |
5 | 7 | KENOBE (CH222) | M Du Plessis | XB | Purposely taken back, travelled in a position towards the rear about 7Ls off the pace, proved difficult to settle, picked up nicely in straight but was held up inside 200 M, full of running over the final stages. |
6 | 11 | KOWLOON FIT (CE247) | F Coetzee | -- | Began well, settled prominently in 3rd on the inside, close enough entering home straight, responded well, looked to have place chance 100 M out but was overhauled in the final strides. |
7 | 5 | MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) | D Beadman | CP | Settled patiently towards the rear about 6Ls behind leader, saved ground on the rail, asked inside 400 M, made some headway down the inside but found no extra entering final 100 M. |
8 | 9 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | Y T Cheng | TT | Unable to cross after start and was left racing wide without cover in mid-division, gradually moved up approaching home turn, unable to pick up and was one-paced in the finish. |
9 | 2 | KING HOGAN (CE257) | H W Lai | B | Taken back on jumping, assumed an usual position in the rear, 6Ls down approaching home turn, kept to inside on straightening, made only limited progress and was never threatening. |
10 | 6 | ENCORE WIN (CH251) | C W Wong | CP/TT | Bounced out, tracked leaders in 3rd, had every chance in the straight but was again found wanting, weakened inside 100 M. |
11 | 10 | FRIENDSHIP (CE066) | C K Tong | -- | Jumped well from the inside barrier, ridden early to take up running at slow tempo, pressed by outside horse on home turn and struggled, faded rapidly inside 200 M. |
12 | 8 | VISIONARIO (CJ095) | B Doyle | -- | Awkwardly away, travelled in midfield, shuffled back and struggled rounding home turn, never able to challenge, dropped out tamely. |
