1 4 UPGRADING (CK367) D Whyte -- In midfield about 4Ls behind leaders, came with a well-timed challenge inside 400M, made rapid headway to lead 150M out, kept on well once in front and held off the fast finishing 2nd and 3rd.
2 11 JOYFUL WINNER II (M094) D Beadman TT Positioned behind midfield about 6Ls off the pace, raced in the 2-path following the eventual winner, didn’t pick up as quickly as the winner but stayed on very strongly towards the line. Good effort.
3 5 LUNAR REFLECTIONS (CL009) H W Lai -- Behind midfield 6Ls back in first half, moved closer approaching the home turn, responded well inside 300M and finished off the race willingly.
4 1 SLEEP WELL (CK036) M Guyon XB/TT Never far off in 4th, came with a strong challenge inside 300M, kept on effort to the line but was outpaced by the top 3 over the final 100M.
5 2 OCEAN PRINCE (CK066) Z Purton -- Caught 3-wide no cover making the 1st turn, strode forward after 1200M to join leaders, looked a threat early straight but flattened passing 150M.
6 9 KICK SERVE (CL385) O Doleuze H Always in touch with leaders but didn’t quicken when urged nearing 300M, weakened final 100M.
7 8 GREAT GUY (CH112) M Chadwick TT Track leader early, took over nearing 1000M, was strongly challenged once into straight, briefly resisted, headed 150M out and weakened away.
8 7 BEST FRIEND (CH240) T H So -- Switched off to last 10Ls off the pace, had plenty to do turning in and not in the clear until 300M, made limited progress.
9 12 DALKAN (M129) K C Leung SR1 Taken across behind runners, settled near last over 8Ls away, made no headway in straight and hung out under pressure. No impression.
10 10 DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) M L Yeung H Took up early running, relinquished lead near 1000M and sat back in 3rd, outpaced passing 200M, no extra late stages.
11 3 SUNSEEKER (CL161) C K Tong B-/H-/TT Positioned 2-wide towards the rear, under pressure inside 500M and didn’t respond, left behind 200M out.
12 6 IRISH PEARL (CL387) G Cheyne H1 Near the rear throughout, didn’t pick up when asked inside 350M, never a factor.
