1 | 10 | CLASSA (CK267) | H W Lai | CP | Made its run from midfield, 2 deep with cover. Hit the straight 3 wide, swept to the lead near the 100m and had the race in its keeping soon after. |
2 | 11 | GORGEOUS RULER (CK403) | T Clark | B/TT | Settled in 2nd position outside the leader. Held a narrow advantage at the furlong but was overhauled inside the 50m. |
3 | 5 | POLYGOLD (CK309) | B Doyle | CP | Copped a check early, settling in 2nd last position, along the rail. Worked off the fence after the 800m, swung widest in the home stretch and ran on with plenty of purpose. |
4 | 8 | CONQUEROR (CE270) | T Angland | V | Camped in 5th position, 2 wide with cover. Stayed on well, but flattened out over the final stages. |
5 | 9 | RAY'S FAVOURITE (CL045) | Y T Cheng | CP | Worked across from the outside gate to eventually cross & lead along the paint after the 1100m. Was collared near the furlong and faded soon after. |
6 | 6 | CHEERFUL DOUBLE (CK396) | K C Ng | SR-/B2/TT | Parked worse than midfield along the paint. Cornered five deep, passed tiring runners over the concluding stages. |
7 | 1 | GRANDFIELD (CJ250) | C Y Ho | B | Enjoyed the box seat after drawing a low gate. Had every chance but failed to capitalize. |
8 | 7 | SPEED RACER (CK207) | C K Tong | B | Rated behind midfield1 off with cover after being checked off heels near the 1400m. Failed to close off. |
9 | 3 | FULL VERSION (CL348) | G Cheyne | B | Crowded near the 1400m and settled midfield the fence. Kept to the inside in the final stretch but failed to make any impression. |
10 | 2 | SOHNA (CG183) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Travelled 2-3 deep, with some cover towards the rear of the field. Was carried out into a 3 wide line after the 900m and was never a threat thereafter. |
11 | 12 | MEDIC CHAMPION (M054) | K C Leung | B/TT | Settled in last position along the fence. Struggled in the straight. |
12 | 4 | FAIRY BOY (CL377) | G Mosse | B | Posted 3 wide without cover whilst travelling in a prominent position. Never a factor. |
