1 | 3 | ELITE FORTUNE (CJ212) | W C Marwing | -- | Midfield on fence through to home straight. 5Ls behind the lead at 400M. Fought on determinedly to charge down the runaway leader final 100M. Kept on to score with some comfort. |
2 | 1 | TRAVEL KING (CK240) | M Chadwick | TT | Began well and raced outside the speed early. Sat 4Ls behind the leader which made run home turn. Chased strongly in the straight to catch the leader final 100M but couldn't repel the winner close home. |
3 | 10 | NICE KING (CG147) | Y T Cheng | B | Behind midfield near the fence until home straight. Shifted out and was 10Ls back passing 400M. Made up many lengths to snatch 3rd at line. |
4 | 14 | GENERAL DANROAD (CL020) | S K Sit | -- | Well enough away but caught wide. Taken to race 3-wide behind midfield from 1200M. Swung out and was 9Ls off on straightening. Covered considerable ground to make frame at post. |
5 | 4 | SOHNA (CG183) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Soon taken to rear from high draw. 10Ls adrift turning in. Made up good ground thereafter but couldn't sustain its effort closing stages. |
6 | 5 | POTENTIAL (CL204) | B Prebble | B | Travelled wide and without cover at midfield. 6-7Ls away into final stretch. Rallied but peaked 100M. |
7 | 2 | NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) | M L Yeung | B/SR | Crowded for room and lost ground at start. Niggled early to race 2-wide at midfield. 8Ls down leaving the bend. Progressed steadily in the straight without threatening the principals. |
8 | 7 | CHEEKY LAD (CG198) | K W Leung | B | Driven early and took lead at 1200M. Attempted to make all passing 600M and held a 4Ls advantage turning home. Hung on until overhauled final 100M. |
9 | 6 | SLEEPCARE (CK336) | Z Purton | -- | Prominent spot through to home straight. Failed to quicken when asked. |
10 | 9 | BINGO KEY (CK190) | J Lloyd | B1 | Began in line but trapped widest. Gradually taken to race 2-wide towards rear. Over 10Ls to make up rounding home turn. Minor headway in the straight to beat tired runners. |
11 | 11 | SURE GOOD (CJ240) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | One-out-one-back until no extra to stay forward top of home straight. |
12 | 13 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | M W Leung | CP/H | Behind midfield early. Dropped towards rear home turn. No real improvement in the straight. |
