1 | 2 | LUNAR REFLECTIONS (CL009) | M L Yeung | B | Settled well in mid-division, switched to 3-wide 500M out, moved into top gear inside 200M and stayed on strongest to hit lead 50M. |
2 | 5 | OTTIMO (CK238) | K C Ng | -- | Always prominent, moved up to one out one back from 1200M, kept grinding away under pressure in straight, hit lead briefly near 100M, not pace of winner final 50M. |
3 | 1 | MR BOND (M098) | G Mosse | -- | Held up in mid-division, not suited by the lack of pace and overraced from 900M, travelled wide from midway, chased winner from 300M but was always held. |
4 | 4 | MY MATE ADRIC (CL004) | Z Purton | CO | Held up in 5th, raced a shade keen in middle stages and seemingly unsuited by the slow pace, kept on steadily final 300M. |
5 | 10 | NORDIC STAR (CH302) | D Whyte | TT | Patiently held up, raced near the rear in the first half, moved closer making the home turn, steadied early straight, ran on final 250M. |
6 | 8 | LUCKY WARRIOR (M292) | Y T Cheng | TT | Used a bit to find the lead then slowed things down, led unchallenged, headed inside 100M, weakened and was swallowed up late. |
7 | 9 | VERY WELL (M161) | B Doyle | SR/XB | Dropped back to last about 8Ls behind leader in a slowly run affair, held up near 450M when attempting to improve position, switched wide into straight, stayed on but not getting to the leaders. |
8 | 7 | AMBITIOUS TREASURE (CJ173) | O Doleuze | B/XB/TT | Soon taken across behind runners, settled near the rear about 6-7Ls back in a slowly run race, ,held up from 300M-200M but had little to offer once getting a clear run. |
9 | 11 | RECORD HIGH (CK202) | N Callan | SR | Tracked leaders in a slowly run race, pushed along 450M, kept on same pace, weakened inside 150M. |
10 | 6 | PERFECT SPRINT (CL107) | T Clark | TT | Restrained after the start, settled behind midfield along the inside, plodded on one-paced final 300M, never likely. |
11 | 3 | ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) | M Chadwick | -- | Dropped in behind midfield, travelled 3-wide without cover from 1300M, shuffled to near last turning for home, made limited progress final 300M, never threatened. |
12 | 12 | ALMIGHTY WINDPOWER (CL272) | M Du Plessis | B | Settled in 4th place always in touch with leaders, not quickened inside 300M, faded in the final stages. |
