1 | 12 | SOLAR POWER (CE047) | H W Lai | TT | 4-back on fence in 10th about 5Ls from lead at halfway, still well back but going nicely turning in, quickened up well to lead inside 100 M, kept on. |
2 | 6 | BUTTERFIELD (CG178) | G Mosse | B | Taken back and 7Ls last at 1100 M, 5Ls last turning for home, stayed on strongly through to the field to take 2nd close home. |
3 | 4 | FLUKE (CJ061) | D Whyte | -- | Midfield 3-wide with cover 4Ls from pace at 1000 M, darted forward from the 500 M to lead at top of home turn, 2Ls clear 200 M out, lost quinella inside final 100 M. |
4 | 9 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | M Du Plessis | XB | Went back, 6Ls back in rear at 1200 M, 5-wide (widest of all) when 4Ls down, stayed on okay for 4th. |
5 | 5 | HOLD HANDS (CH116) | C K Tong | -- | Checked early on, crowded at 600 M when 3-back on the rails when 4Ls back in 8th, steadied turning in, didn't finish with quite his usual flourish. |
6 | 8 | MELLIFLUOUS (CH212) | Y T Cheng | -- | 5Ls back in 9th with cover at the 1000 M and edged closer making the last turn, 2Ls back in 2nd at the furlong pole but couldn't sustain the bid. |
7 | 11 | CRYSTAL (CE209) | M W Leung | B | Bounced to the lead and 1L clear at 1100 M, about a neck up from the 800 M but headed before the home turn and slipped out of contention. |
8 | 10 | HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Caught 4-wide no cover early on and 3-wide no cover at halfway when 1L off pace, extra work took its toll in the straight. |
9 | 2 | YOUNG HERO (CH071) | J Winks | -- | Hampered at 1100 M, 2-wide with cover in 8th or so between 3Ls and 4Ls from the pace through to homestretch, muted response when it mattered. |
10 | 1 | LUMINOUS (CE300) | K L Chui | -- | 3-wide no cover 1L off pace at 1000 M, a neck 2nd at the 800 out 2-wide, still right there turning for home but did not find anything off the bridle. |
11 | 7 | LOCAL POWER (CH296) | C W Wong | -- | 1L back in 3rd at the 1000 M, steadied at the 800 M but still handily placed off last turn, very one-paced to finish. |
PU | 3 | ANKH MORPORK (CH306) | B Prebble | TT | Box-seated in 5th on fence early, hampered at 1100 M, still close-up before being galloped on and losing his action off final turn, pulled up. |
