1 | 9 | AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) | Y T Cheng | B | Overcame a wide draw and gradually found his way to the front, slowed down the pace significantly passing 800 M and dictated the race from that point, had a 2Ls lead off the bend and kept on strongly to score. |
2 | 2 | RAIN OF THUNDER (CJ352) | D Whyte | B | Held up in a position behind midfield, not helped by the slow pace in middle stages and strode closer making the home turn, held up to 250 M then made good headway to claim 2nd close home. |
3 | 8 | MASTER MASTER (CH144) | B Doyle | V | Fractious in stalls and began awkwardly, held 2-wide running in mid-division, moved to 3rd approaching the final turn, had his chance but never looked a threat to the runaway winner, beaten to 3rd close home. |
4 | 7 | FASTER FASTER (CG010) | W C Marwing | CP | Slow to begin, ended up in last 8Ls off the pace in the first half, moved closer approaching the final turn and driven from 550 M round the outside, progressed steadily in straight but not threatened the principals. |
5 | 11 | DIAMOND PRINCE (CJ172) | M L Yeung | SR | Handily placed behind leaders early, hampered by the slackening race tempo in middle stages, made some headway from 350 M but could find no extra in the closing stages. |
6 | 4 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | T H So | -- | Lacked early speed and raced towards the rear, lost 2Ls near 800 M when checked due to the slackening pace, last going into straight and remained very one paced in the finish. |
7 | 10 | WEALTH SYNERGY (CJ133) | J Winks | B | Up with the early pace, moved up to 2nd passing 800 M, under pressure to keep up inside 450 M, soon outpaced in straight. |
8 | 6 | HONEST TREASURE (CE200) | M Chadwick | B/H/TT | Well enough away, cut out the early running before taken back to track leaders down the back straight, looked very laboured when pressed on in straight, weakened inside 200 M. |
9 | 1 | SMART CODE (CK078) | B Prebble | B/TT | Raced 3-wide without cover in midfield and difficult to settle at times, driven from 300 M but soon outpaced and weakened. |
10 | 5 | FABULOUS START (CK151) | W M Lai | -- | Towards the rear 6Ls back, under serious pressure halfway round the home bend, took long time to pick up and only got going close to the finish. |
11 | 12 | RISING WIN (CC089) | H W Lai | SR | In midfield along the fence, hampered by the slow tempo in middle stages and shuffled backwards, had to switch out for a clear run in straight but not quicken. |
