1 | 1 | LEADING CITY (CK298) | D Beadman | H | Broke well, took them along at a good clip, kept on well final 300M under top weight and comfortably held off the persistent runner-up. |
2 | 4 | CITY POWER (M066) | M L Yeung | SR/B1 | Chased leader in 2nd, began his challenge nearing 400M, had every chance but was always held by the winner. |
3 | 12 | HORSESHOE FORTUNE (CL098) | J Lloyd | -- | Held up in mid-division and travelled well into straight, shifted to clear nearing 300M, finished off willingly. |
4 | 13 | MASTER KEY (CK387) | G Cheyne | P/H/TT | Had inside run throughout and never far off the pace, had no clear run early straight, shifted out to clear 300M, stayed on without threatening. |
5 | 3 | SUMMER DASH (M105) | B Prebble | V1 | Slow to begin and slightly outpaced early, well behind leader halfway, moved closer approaching 400M and stayed on towards the line. Encouraging run. |
6 | 5 | SUPREME FAY FAY (CL185) | M Guyon | B/TT | Taken across behind runners and patiently ridden near the rear, ran on well from off the pace despite being hampered near 300M. (Trainer questioned re riding instructions.) |
7 | 6 | VICTORY IDE SAY (M056) | W C Marwing | TT | Towards the rear, 11th before straight, taken widest to challenge but kept on same pace only. |
8 | 7 | LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) | H W Lai | -- | Began awkwardly but soon recovered to race prominently just behind leader, outpaced passing 400M, weakened rapidly final 150M. |
9 | 2 | OTTIMO (CK238) | Y T Cheng | -- | Didn't muster and under pressure to hold his position, at the rear of midfield the whole way, no impression on straightening. |
10 | 9 | HONG KONG FAT (M099) | M W Leung | -- | Switched off to last on jumping from a wide barrier, over 8Ls off the pace in early and middle stages, not quickened turning in and was never a factor. |
11 | 8 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | T Angland | B/TT | Positioned 2-wide ahead of midfield, travelled well to 500M but found very little when placed under pressure, no extra inside 200m. |
12 | 14 | MASTER RIO (CK188) | C K Tong | CP | Raced in mid-division along the 3-path, outpaced passing 700M and dropped back, weakened leaving the bend and soon out of contention. |
13 | 10 | MR AWARD (M065) | O Doleuze | TT1 | Never better than mid-division, didn't respond when placed under pressure inside 400M, dropped out 200M. |
14 | 11 | LUMINOUS (CE300) | K C Leung | B | Urged along to chase the pace, 3-wide over the turn and was readily left behind when the tempo increased inside 400M, tailed off (Unacceptable Performance.) |
