1 | 7 | GOOD BOY BOY (CK388) | Z Purton | -- | Raced keenly after handing up the lead passing the 900m. Thereafter shifted out into the 1 off line and raced in 2nd position. Was never headed after the 250m. |
2 | 5 | MARIACHI (CH190) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Camped midfield on the rails. Kept to the inside in the home straight, gained a split after the 100m, and lengthened nicely to secure second. |
3 | 12 | GENERAL DANROAD (CL020) | H W Lai | -- | Raced keenly in the early stages, travelling 3 back the fence, had cover. Peeled out near the 300m and battled on gamely to the wire. |
4 | 1 | LOMBARDI (CK406) | G Mosse | B | Coursed 3 wide with cover in a midfield position. Struck some interference near the 800m, but rallied nicely to finish in the frame. |
5 | 13 | SUGAR ON TOP (CG274) | W M Lai | B | Slow to begin, settling in last position. Rattled home strongly out wide in the final stretch. |
6 | 4 | SURROUNDED (CL129) | D Beadman | H1 | Rated behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Copped a bit of crowding midrace, but recovered well to close off soundly. |
7 | 11 | MANY GAINS (CJ051) | T Angland | B-/CP2 | Camped 1 out 1 back. Weakened over the concluding stages after having every chance. |
8 | 10 | SNITZEL KID (CL379) | C Y Ho | -- | Was posted 3 wide without cover behind the speed. Never likely. |
9 | 3 | NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) | C K Tong | B/SR | Sent forward and crossed to lead on the fence near the 800m. Faded over the final 200m. |
10 | 14 | NICE KING (CG147) | J Lloyd | B | Missed the start settling with the backmakers along the paint. Made some ground along the inside but was flat over the last 100m. |
11 | 2 | OPEN SESAME (CL091) | K C Leung | TT | Positioned worse than midfield, 3 wide with cover. Finished off somewhat one paced. |
12 | 8 | KING AND I (CL430) | B Prebble | -- | Travelled midfield 2 wide with cover. Raced greenly for the better part of the trip and came up empty after the furlong. |
13 | 6 | EASY GOLD (CL431) | M L Yeung | -- | Was taken back from the outside barrier and settled with the tail enders, 2-3 wide with cover. Failed to close off. (See incident report.) |
14 | 9 | SUPER HERO (M018) | Y T Cheng | -- | Travelled in front of midfield early, but propped badly near the 800m, and was never in contention thereafter. Eased out of the race soon after. (To trial.) (See incident report.) |
