1 5 GOLD RACER (M383) Y T Cheng -- Enjoyed the run of the race tracking the leader along the paint. Got a rails run early in the straight and had the event in its keeping a 100m out.
2 6 CAPITAL CHAMPION (N023) K C Leung B1/TT Parked midfield, 2 deep with cover. Raced keenly near the 800m, and was checked off heels soon after. Recovered and chased gamely to the winning post.
3 1 TAKE THE RAP (CL369) M Barzalona SR/TT Had every chance after settling in 4th position the fence. Kept up a good gallop right to the wire.
4 7 GLOBAL FAME (M335) D Beadman TT Made its run from behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Peeled out early in the straight and closed off soundly to reach the frame.
5 3 SURFER BOY (CL306) C W Wong B Sent forward and led along the rails. Opened up a break after the 800m and was able to dictate. Hung out on the home turn and early in the straight, gave way inside the last 100m.
6 12 TELECOM TOP STAR (CL276) M L Yeung B Couldn't go the early speed of the race despite being ridden along, settling last, some distance from the field. Was under pressure before the home turn and made good ground along the inside in the final stretch.
7 2 SMART TOUCH (CL402) B Prebble CP-/B1/TT1 Settled close to the speed, 1 off without cover. Maintained a reasonable gallop down the running before fading inside the 100m.
