1 | 14 | EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) | C K Tong | B/TT- | Hard ridden from middle gate to track the leader on fence in 3rd until home straight when pressured; responded to lead 100m out; kept on. |
2 | 13 | HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) | T H So | B/TT | Good early pace from wide gate to lead by 1L on fence at the 900m; 2Ls clear turning in; grabbed by the winner 100m out; hung on for 2nd. |
3 | 12 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | G Cheyne | B | Midfield with cover at least 5Ls from the speed before taking last curve out 3-wide; stayed on well to nick a place late on. |
4 | 5 | BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) | W M Lai | TT | 6th with cover in midfield before straightening for home; closer at the 200m; had his chance to place inside final 50m; just missed out. |
5 | 7 | TREASURE HUNT (CJ348) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Tracked early pace out 1L off 2-wide in 2nd; 2Ls back in 2nd turning in; challenged on all sides final 100m but still nearly placed. |
6 | 6 | DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) | W C Marwing | TT | In rear at good 8Ls or 9Ls behind pace until the home turn; recovered some nice late ground; never nearer. |
7 | 10 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | K L Chui | SR/CP/TT | Nicely placed 3-back on the rails in 5th about 4Ls off speed before last turn; given every hope; lacked a change of gear. |
8 | 4 | FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) | D Whyte | CP | Broke okay; worse than midfield some 7Ls off speed before final bend; made up some late ground down the centre without threatening. |
9 | 2 | CRUSH ON YOU (CH065) | B Prebble | CP | 8Ls off pace in rear down the back; wide no cover on the circle; stayed on okay out widest down the centre but never posed a threat. |
10 | 3 | EXCELLENT ELITE (CJ316) | J Lloyd | H1/TT | Taken back from wide gate; 9Ls off pace at halfway; recovered some decent late ground along the inner in the final stages. |
11 | 8 | GLITTERING (CJ343) | Z Purton | XB1 | Awkward with head up through first half; hung out on the circle when about 8Ls back in 11th or so; kept chasing the majority. |
12 | 11 | MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) | O Doleuze | XB/TT | Nicely handled from gate 11 to race 2-wide and 4Ls off pace in 4th at 800m; same turning for home; weakened inside final 200M. |
13 | 9 | TOP SPEED (CH019) | H W Lai | B | Slowest away; 4-back on the rails at halfway about 5Ls off pace in midfield; lacklustre conclusion; later scoped for mucus. (Questioned for disappointing performance.) |
14 | 1 | BLESS US ALL (CK086) | B Doyle | CP/XB | Keen when severely checked at the 800m when at the tail of the field; similar spot off last bend; faded out. (Bled.) |
