1 | 1 | LEGEND OF COLOUR (CK003) | D Whyte | B | Allowed to drift back and raced 3-wide in rear division 4-5Ls back, improved with trail to bend, into clear running at 300 M, let down smartly and quickly had rivals covered, drew away final 200 M to win easily. |
2 | 3 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | W C Marwing | XB/TT | Began well, pressed on from a wide gate to race outside lead, relaxed well in run, travelled strongly and took over shortly after turning in, held advantage to 200 M but no match with winner's turn of foot late. |
3 | 2 | GOOD GAINS (CJ293) | K C Leung | -- | Out in line, ended up 3Ls away on rails, enjoyed a good trail in mid-section, still behind horses turning, made good progress along inside to take placing. |
4 | 9 | WIN AGAIN (CD371) | S K Sit | B | Away nicely, took ideal spot behind leader on rails, not made use of to bend, eased out turning in and looked a brief threat at 300 M, just maintained same pace in run to line. |
5 | 14 | DILIGENT II (CJ211) | J Victoire | XB | No real speed, positioned 5Ls away on rails, enjoyed a quiet run throughout, steadied and in traffic when turning, made steady ground along inside in straight. |
6 | 4 | VICTORY TREASURE (CE031) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Standard jump, failed to muster and ended up in midfield 4Ls away, had a good run to bend, improved between horses at 400 M, looked a place hope inside 250 M but couldn't dash at business-end. |
7 | 10 | NOBLE HEART (CC355) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Only fair to begin, settled behind midfield 5Ls back in running line, same margin down turning, tracked through at 350 M but just kept on at one speed thereafter. |
8 | 12 | SUPER CAGA (CK054) | Z Purton | -- | Amongst first few to jump, positioned nicely 1 out 1 back 2Ls away, had no excuses to bend, eased 4-wide on straightening, improved briefly but peaked at 250 M and just held ground thereafter. |
9 | 13 | SUPER BABY (CH227) | H W Lai | TT | No pace early, drifted back to 2nd last 6-7Ls back in running line, not asked to bend, made a wide run turning in, some limited progress to 200 M but plugged thereafter. |
10 | 11 | GREAT SHOW (CK001) | Y T Cheng | B1 | Limited pace early and soon at tail, raced 7Ls off pace on fence, still same margin down rounding bend, steadied at 300 M when improving, didn't get much of a crack thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.) |
11 | 8 | WIND KNIGHT (CJ326) | M L Yeung | SR | Bounced out, went on to race more prominently leading field up, set an even tempo in front, shaded soon after turning in, didn't fight and gradually weakened out. |
12 | 7 | PACIFICO (CJ285) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Began fairly, went forward but forced to cover ground, raced 2Ls back with cover in mid-section, 4-wide turning but lacked extra gear in straight and just battled. |
13 | 6 | TRIUMPHANT DIAMOND (CG227) | K T Yeung | CP | Out with them, pressed forward however unable to slot in, posted 3-wide without cover outside of leaders, still challenging rounding bend, soon under pressure when hard run took toll, faded quickly. |
