1 | 11 | FANTASTIC TIME (CH220) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Broke well, with leaders early, gradually settled in 5th over 3Ls off the speed near mid-division, switched sharply to avoid heels upon straightening, fought on down straight to just get up on line. |
2 | 13 | DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) | Y T Cheng | TT | Began with others, quickly driven to take up running, failed to cross to rails and settled in one-out-one-back spot, hit front upon straightening, fought on under pressure to be just pipped at post. (Questioned for forward tactic.) |
3 | 4 | CARISSIMA (CL112) | B Prebble | V-/B2 | Settled at the back, wide into straight, made significant progress down centre of straight to be nearest at finish. |
4 | 3 | PRIVATE ROAD (CK189) | C Y Ho | B-/XB- | Settled in midfield, lost position and dropped towards rear rounding home bend, produced good late finish to do best work late. |
5 | 2 | LUCKY NISTELROOY (CL118) | M L Yeung | B2/TT | Soon picked up along rails to travel in 2L 3rd, briefly baulked for a run upon straightening, ran on steadily to be nearest at finish. |
6 | 7 | SCOOT DA LOOT (CH274) | J Lloyd | -- | Began with others, settled in forward of midfield, in closer order when bumped on straightening, kept on one pace in the run home. |
7 | 6 | DANESOUTH (CL001) | B Doyle | B/H/TT | Settled in midfield on rails, saved ground turning in, did not find much room until 200 M out, recovered some late ground closing stages. |
8 | 5 | SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) | H W Lai | B2 | Soon dropped towards rear despite ridden along, checked and lost position coming out of back straight, ran on past beaten horses in the run home. |
9 | 1 | DEVON JOY (CK237) | D Whyte | B/TT | Began fairly, raced wide without cover in rear of midfield down far side, ran home one-paced before fading inside final 100 M. |
