1 | 3 | RAY'S FAVOURITE (CL045) | D Whyte | CP | Settled 1 out 1 back after being crossed near the 800m. Shifted in passing the 500m, and chased well down the running. Had the race in its keeping near the 100m. |
2 | 11 | METREVELLI (M165) | U Rispoli | B | Parked worse than midfield after being slow to begin, 1 off with cover. Let down nicely after obtaining clear running early in the straight. |
3 | 7 | EPATANT (CL349) | N Callan | B- | Sent forward and led along the fence. Held a good break after the 300m, but was mowed down passing the 100m. |
4 | 4 | DR UNION (CK105) | W M Lai | -- | Enjoyed a nice run in the race box seating. Couldn't hold its spot after the 700m, copped a check near the 500m, and maintained a good gallop to fill the frame. |
5 | 1 | AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) | H W Lai | B | Camped behind midfield, 2 deep with cover. Came widest on the home turn and closed off soundly without threatening. |
6 | 5 | EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) | M Chadwick | B | Travelled 3 back 2 wide with cover, had every chance but couldn't capitalize. |
7 | 9 | GRANDWAY FLYER (CK302) | K C Leung | H/SR | Coursed 3 wide and without cover, whilst racing on the speed, eventually crossing and racing outside the leader near the 700m. Was a beaten horse before the furlong. |
8 | 2 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | J Lloyd | B | Settled worse than midfield, 3 deep with cover. Finished off dourly. |
9 | 6 | SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) | T Clark | B/TT | Taken back from a wide gated & raced at the rear along the paint. Commenced to work into the race early in the straight but was unable to obtain clear running over the final 200m. |
10 | 10 | LUCKY ARMY (CL230) | Y T Cheng | H/TT | Slow to begin then ridden along to improve, traveling 3-4 wide with cover with the backmakers. Struggled in the home straight. |
11 | 12 | DUKE'S VICTORY (CL262) | M Du Plessis | V | Settled at the rear of the field but was wide about 4 deep without cover in the early and middle stages. Got some cover on the final circle but was a spent force early in the straight. |
12 | 8 | JOYFUL JOYFUL (CK284) | M L Yeung | B/H | Had no luck posted 4 wide without cover in the early stages settling just behind the leaders, and thereafter taking up a 3 wide position. Never likely. |
