1 | 12 | SHIBALA (CK230) | O Doleuze | B-/TT | Speared across from an outside barrier to race in the lead along the paint by the 900m. Made every post a winner thereafter to record a strong win. |
2 | 9 | TOMODACHI (M026) | Z Purton | XB/P1/H1 | Missed the start then raced on the bridle just behind midfield. Stayed to the inside in the straight and ran on soundly. |
3 | 8 | REAL DRAGON (M144) | M Chadwick | TT1 | Camped 1 out 1 back. Maintained an even gallop right to the wire. |
4 | 1 | WASABISABI (CJ221) | K C Leung | H | Struck some interference early settling in the box seat. Travelled comfortably in the run but tired over the latter stages. |
5 | 13 | SUGAR ON TOP (CG274) | M Guyon | B | Settled in last position. Rounded the home turn widest and closed off nicely. |
6 | 6 | FIERCE FORCE (M146) | B Doyle | -- | Settled at the tail of the field along the paint. Railed up in the straight and worked home fairly. |
7 | 4 | MING HOI GLORY (M020) | D Beadman | -- | Luckless in the run coursing 3-4 wide without cover, behind midfield. Straightened wide and was never likely. |
8 | 11 | AMAZING AWARD (CL232) | Y T Cheng | TT | Was prominent early before receiving interference on the first turn and setting 3 back thereafter. Faded over the final 300m. |
9 | 2 | TELECOM SUPER STAR (CK386) | N Callan | XB1/TT- | Raced behind midfield 2 wide with cover. Stayed on at the same speed over the concluding stages. An endoscopic examination after the race showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. |
10 | 5 | EASY GOLD (CL431) | D Whyte | B1 | Copped a check near the 800m, settling 1 off with cover close to midfield. Looked for runs through the field in the straight but was only one paced in the run home. |
11 | 10 | VICTORIA SMILE (CL365) | C W Wong | -- | Raced near the tail of the field 3-4 wide with cover. Only plodded to the finishing line. |
12 | 3 | TRAVEL KING (CK240) | T Angland | CP/TT | Travelled behind midfield 3 wide with some cover on the circle. Gave ground in the final stretch. An endoscopic examination after the race showed a substantial amount of mucopus in the horse's trachea. |
13 | 7 | POLYMER POWER (CL417) | H W Lai | -- | Settled with the backmakers, 2 deep with cover. Struggled in the home straight. |
14 | 14 | YOUNG SUPREME (CL074) | J Lloyd | V/TT1 | Not the best away but mustered sufficient speed to improve early and parked outside the leader. Was eased down over the final furlong. To trial. (See incident report.) |
