1 | 7 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | W M Lai | BO | Away in line, settled in midfield but always in touch, had a dream run along the rails, quickened well in straight to hit the front 100 M from home. |
2 | 6 | EVER BEAUTY (CJ161) | D Beadman | CP/XB/TT | Held inside run and cruised to the lead near 600 M, drifted away from the fence making the turn, driven out 250 M, headed inside 100 M. |
3 | 12 | EXPLODING (CH046) | K C Leung | XB/H | Quickly into stride, led early but gradually dropped back to midfield, chased leader 300 M out, kept grinding to the line and just held on for 3rd. |
4 | 1 | SPECIAL K (CK114) | B Prebble | CP | Began awkwardly, restrained to a rearward position 4 to 5Ls behind leader, switched out for a clear path and challenged from 300 M, ran on strongly under pressure to finish nearest at the line. |
5 | 8 | MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) | S K Sit | -- | Assumed a position in midfield, 3-wide on the turn, made steady headway down the centre but was never getting there in time. |
6 | 9 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | M L Yeung | PC/TT | Taken back on jumping from the wide barrier, 2 off the fence in the rear group, steadied early in straight and had huge task in hand, ran on well over final 200 M, never nearer. |
7 | 11 | PRETTY TOUCH (CK252) | M Chadwick | B | Raced in last few, held inside run, made some progress down the inner on straightening but no real impression. |
8 | 10 | EASY AHEAD (CK212) | T H So | V | Dashed to the front, sat one-out-one-back from leader at the turn, had every chance but looked very laboured when asked to quicken, faded away inside 200 M. |
9 | 5 | INDUSTRIAL MARVEL (CG188) | W C Marwing | -- | Hard ridden out the gate, up front disputing the lead early but dropped back to avoid racing wide entering the home turn, unable to pick up and weakened over 200 M out. |
10 | 3 | ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) | O Doleuze | P/TT | Raced 2-wide behind midfield, had to be pushed along passing 500 M, kept on one pace to the line, never on terms. (Mildly distressed / abnormally high heart rate.) |
11 | 2 | GRAND STORE (CH087) | K W Leung | -- | Up with the early pace, unable to cross and trapped 3-wide, not picked up in straight, eased close home. |
12 | 4 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | Y T Cheng | CP-/TT- | Drawn on the outside, raced 4-wide and covered more ground than others, under pressure 400 M, soon running on empty. |
