1 | 4 | HAPPY REUNION (CK163) | H W Lai | SR-/B1/TT | Raced ungenerously in early stages, never far off the pace and always had the leader in sight, produced a very good finishing kick to cut down the leader 50 M out. Sound effort. |
2 | 2 | SMART CURRENCY (CJ222) | K C Leung | TT | Took them along under a steady tempo and always going nicely, put in a brave effort inside final 400 M but unable to repel the winner when passed near 50 M. |
3 | 3 | DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) | B Prebble | H1 | Showed good speed throughout to be prominent along the stands' rail, kept on resolutely to the line but was always being held. |
4 | 6 | SAPELLI (CK191) | D Whyte | B | Settled one back from the leader on the stands' rail, raced a shade keen in the middle stages, picked up well inside 400 M without quite reaching the first three. |
5 | 10 | FAIR NAVIGATOR (CJ254) | J Lloyd | TT | Slow to begin, obtained a midfield position close enough to the pace, responded fairly when asked near 400 M, ran on OK but never troubled the first four which pulled well clear. |
6 | 8 | TURF WINNER (CK061) | W M Lai | H | Standard jump, travelled within 3Ls of the leader down the centre of track, didn't find a lot on asking but kept battling on to the finish. |
7 | 7 | SOLAR UP (CK065) | P H Lo | -- | Slow to begin and raced towards the rear for much of the contest, drifted in and out under pressure, never threatened but stayed on OK towards the line. |
8 | 12 | SMART CODE (CK078) | K T Yeung | TT | Lacked early pace and trailed in the rear 7Ls back, under pressure from midway, made some ground late on but was given too much to do. |
9 | 5 | MEGABUCKS (CJ301) | O Doleuze | -- | Awkwardly away and lost ground, switched to race along the stands' rail, gradually crept closer to be 4th going into final 400 M, but could find only one pace when it mattered. |
10 | 14 | MY MELODY (CJ157) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Drawn low, in a rearward position on the outside of field, ran on only fairly inside 400 M and found no extra over the final stages. |
11 | 11 | LEAD THE PROSPECTS (CJ195) | M W Leung | -- | Behind midfield towards the stands' side, never picked up despite urging. Disappointing. |
12 | 1 | BRAVO WINNER (CK035) | Z Purton | XB | In mid-division, raced a shade free without cover, unable to sprint with them as the race got serious inside 400 M, dropped off. |
13 | 9 | XAVERIAN QUEST (CJ345) | M Du Plessis | -- | Stayed close to the pace early on but struggled for speed passing halfway, already beaten 400 M out. |
