1 | 10 | SCARLET CAMELLIA (M141) | K C Leung | TT | Out in line, took a trail off speed 3Ls away on fence, easy time to bend, looking for a run turning, clear from 300m and dashed well, took control for an easy win. |
2 | 14 | VIVA FREEDOM (M037) | W M Lai | XB-/TT- | Pressed forward to slot into 1 out 1 back spot, had ideal trip to bend, came 3 wide at 400m and took control at 300m, no match for winner final 150m. |
3 | 5 | CHAMPAGNE DAYS (CL024) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Went forward from outside gate, posted 3 wide without cover, 3Ls away, kept improving approaching bend, stayed on well given run to just hold 3rd. |
4 | 6 | VIVA FIGHTER (CG307) | H W Lai | B/TT | Drifted back to race behind midfield 6Ls or so from top end, raced 3 wide with cover, came even wider on bend and made sound progress down middle just missing place. |
5 | 9 | CITY KING (M304) | K C Ng | -- | Ended up in midfield, 5ls away in 2 wide line, every hope from there, caught a bit flat footed but kept working away to be closest at finish. |
6 | 13 | FLYING CHAPARRAL (M245) | Y T Cheng | XB/TT | Posted 3 and 4 wide in midfield 4Ls or so back, did it tough in mid section, didn't quicken but kept working to line well given run. |
7 | 2 | DANZULU (CJ069) | Z Purton | CP-/B2 | No early speed, back near last 8Ls away on rails, shared rear with field to beat on turning, closed best of rest making many lengths last 300m. |
8 | 8 | SADDLERS LODGE (CL406) | B Prebble | B/SR | Settled in midfield 5Ls back in 2 wide line, fair run to bend, angled out but didn't show much turn of foot, made some ground without threatening. |
9 | 1 | LOMBARDI (CK406) | T Clark | B | Faded back to rear racing 3 wide with cover, 7Ls or so away on bend, came wider turning and made some progress without looking likely. |
10 | 3 | SUPREME FLIGHT (M199) | M Du Plessis | SR | Away well, positioned up outside leader, had a fair run to bend, came under pressure at 400m and didn't find, weakened thereafter. |
11 | 7 | DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) | M L Yeung | H | Displayed customary speed to take up running, set decent tempo in front, niggled to hold off challengers at 400m, folded tamely soon after. |
12 | 12 | DELISH (M051) | D Whyte | TT | Drifted back from a wide gate, bit keen racing 6-7Ls back in running line, still had a job to do turning but lacked customary finish. (See racing incidents.) |
13 | 4 | ALL VICTORY (M107) | G Mosse | TT | Missed start, ridden up to get into an ideal spot behind leaders, within striking distance turning but reluctant to take run, battled away last 300m. (Lame next day.) |
14 | 11 | CLASSIC BOY (CL425) | C K Tong | H | Slow to begin, raced 5Ls back on rails behind midfield, struggled and offered little in run home. |
