1 | 6 | JUGGERNAUT (CJ019) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Took it up making the 1st turn and dictated the race from there, quickened inside 450 M and held significant advantage coming off the bend, kept on strongly to the line and never looked like being caught. |
2 | 10 | SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) | D Whyte | -- | Quickly away, held a position on the fence 4Ls behind leader travelled strongly throughout, began his chase on the runaway leader inside 350 M, unable to bridge the gap but finished well clear of the rest. |
3 | 9 | MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) | D Beadman | CP | Behind midfield, raced in a 2-wide position throughout, made some progress inside 300 M and just came out on top in a close finish for 3rd. |
4 | 5 | ELFHELM (CC342) | H W Lai | B | In mid-division 5Ls off the pace, had a comfortable run along the fence, kept on steadily to the line but unable to trouble the first two. |
5 | 2 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | Y T Cheng | SR/TT | Slow to begin, shaken up to take closer order behind early leaders, checked at the top of the bend, held every chance inside 300 M, didn't show much acceleration but fought on gamely to the line. Missed out on 3rd by a narrow margin. |
6 | 8 | GREAT HERO (CH016) | W C Marwing | B-/CP1/TT2 | Ridden to a forward position just off the pace, travelled in a handy 3rd in the middle stage, couldn't match the first two but kept on ok until weakening inside final 50 M. |
7 | 1 | LHOJONG (CG281) | K C Leung | B | Ridden along after jumping but unable to hold its position early, shuffled back approaching home turn, kept to inside in straight, made some progress though never troubled the first two. Lost out on 3rd narrowly. |
8 | 11 | SUPER GENKI (CH195) | G Mosse | TT | Slow to begin, proved difficult to settle at the back, unsuited by the slow pace and shifted out to improve entering the back straight, in mid-division turning in, had a clear passage in straight but ran on only fairly. |
9 | 7 | ADD THE FUN (CD308) | Z Purton | B | Taken back on jumping, travelled 2-wide in a rearward position 8Ls back, urged along approaching 400 M, swung wide into the straight, failed to run on when the race got serious. |
10 | 4 | WHIPLASH (CG072) | B Doyle | TT1 | Shaken up early to assume a spot in mid-division, raced 2-wide throughout, checked on turning near 400 M, couldn't pick up when pressed, dropped away inside 100 M. |
11 | 3 | MAN IN THE MIRROR (CH058) | J Winks | -- | Given a waiting ride in the rear, trailed 10Ls to leader in early and middle stages, found nothing to pressure and ran disappointingly. |
12 | 12 | SILVER BLAZE (CJ149) | B Prebble | B1 | Tracked leader prominently, struggled for pace from 500 M, eased down. (Irregular Heart Rhythm 2nd time.) |
