1 | 10 | ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) | B Prebble | -- | Squeezed at start, rear and 3-wide with cover 7Ls back at halfway, 4-wide turning in, let down well to be upsides at 150 M, won a head-bobbing finish. |
2 | 3 | SUPERNOVA (CJ032) | D Whyte | SR | Taken back, one from rear inside winner at 1000 M, advanced on the circle and 5-wide (widest) off last bend, led 150 M out, collared by winner on line. |
3 | 1 | FIRST BABY (CG170) | M L Yeung | P | Worse than mid-division 4Ls back and 3-wide with cover at 1000 M, marginally closer into straight, every chance at 200 M, lacked dash of quinella pair. |
4 | 11 | ICE FIRE (CJ272) | W Pike | SR1/XB1/H | Raced 3 and 4-back on the rails around 9th or 10th through to final curve, stayed on fairly well to nick 4th on the wire. |
5 | 4 | UNIQUE SPEED (CG134) | H W Lai | TT | Nice spot in 4th in 'one-out-one-back' position through to final turn, upsides and with every chance of at least a place at 200 M, run peaked. |
6 | 2 | REGENCY KINGDOM (CK031) | M Chadwick | TT | Caught 3-wide no cover from the 900 M in midfield between 3Ls and 4Ls until home straight, outpaced by principals in the stretch. |
7 | 12 | FLORAL IMAGE (CK027) | Y T Cheng | XB/H/TT | Disputed early pace out 2-wide, on rails and vying for lead from 900 M to final bend and at the 200 M, weakened late on. (Tactic questioned.) |
8 | 9 | OCTAGONAL CANYON (CJ055) | C K Tong | -- | 2-wide in or around 7th and some 4Ls from the speed until final turn, always outpaced but didn't disgrace in the finish. |
9 | 8 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | W M Lai | B | 2-wide towards rear and 6Ls off speed at the 1000 M, marginally closer turning for home, always chasing the majority of the field. |
10 | 6 | CARE FREE MIDAS (CH053) | G Cheyne | B | Disputed lead on fence at 1200 M, handed up 900 M out and on leader's back through to last turn, very one-paced to conclude. |
11 | 5 | WIN MORE (CH243) | Z Purton | PC-/B2/H2/TT | 3-wide no cover initially before getting across to vie for the lead out 2-wide from 900 M to final turn, tired rapidly. |
12 | 7 | GOLD CITY (CJ322) | J Winks | -- | Poor effort given his soft trail in the box-seat at first then 3-back the fence from the 900 M, was close enough if good enough. |
