1 | 13 | ZEPHYRUS (CH285) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Good early pace to cross from wide gate to the rail 4Ls back in 4th a mile out, 2Ls back in 3rd turning in, dug in well enough to lead 50 M out, kept on. |
2 | 6 | BATURO (CH029) | T H So | -- | Bounced to the front and between 1L and 2Ls in front until the home straight when challenged, stayed on gamely but still overhauled 50 M out, held 2nd fine. |
3 | 3 | HAPPY ALL AROUND (CD248) | M Chadwick | TT | Wide early on, got into leader's slipstream from 1300 M, upsides BATURO off last turn, had every chance to win, one-paced final 200 M. |
4 | 1 | FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) | G Mosse | B- | Checked at the start, at least 5Ls or 6Ls from the pace and behind midfield through to final bend, retrieved some good late ground, just missed 3rd. |
5 | 9 | CLASSIC ENERGY (CJ143) | H W Lai | B1/H/TT | Settled 12th about 7Ls from pace through to home straight, had to weave through beaten horses and held up 100 M out, might have got a little closer. |
6 | 7 | GALAXEE (CJ182) | O Doleuze | -- | About 7Ls back in 9th initially, marginally closer off last turn, stayed on okay but never likely to feature prominently. |
7 | 4 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | C Soumillon | B | Checked at the start, raced 3 and 4-back on the rails through first half, improved to 4Ls back in 3rd on straightening, unable to get much closer. |
8 | 14 | OCTAGONAL CANYON (CJ055) | D Whyte | -- | One from rear about 9Ls from the pace at 1600 M, tried to improve out wider on the circle, plodding finish. |
9 | 12 | WONG'S SUCCESS (CE107) | J Victoire | -- | Never better than midfield, 11th or 12th at least 6Ls from the pace until home turn, no danger. |
10 | 5 | SAMBUOYANT (CE172) | Z Purton | B | Midfield out 2-wide about 5Ls from speed a mile out, off the bridle 600 M out and yielded ground in the final 400 M. |
11 | 2 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | K C Leung | B/TT | Over-raced a little when close to early pace in 3rd, suited by slow tempo, began to lose touch on the circle, weakened out rapidly, poor run. |
12 | 11 | FAST GO (CJ181) | M W Leung | B/XB | Taken back to the rear and always at least 8Ls or so from the pace, never on terms. |
13 | 10 | EMBRACES (CH175) | W M Lai | B | Midfield at first but left 3-wide no cover from the 1300 M, tried to press forward but struggling before final turn and eased late. |
14 | 8 | LOHAN (CH279) | B Prebble | B/XB | Very wide on first bend, 3-wide with cover and 6Ls back in midfield at halfway, soon struggling, eased down a long way out, heart irregularity. |
