1 | 6 | DANESOUTH (CL001) | K C Leung | H/TT | Enjoyed a nice run in the race close to the fence in third position with cover. Kept to the inside in the final stretch and worked home soundly. |
2 | 2 | TELECOM SUPREMO (M328) | N Callan | B | Handed up near the 1000m, shifted out into 1 off and assumed 2nd position. Had every chance but was nailed close to home. |
3 | 10 | KING GALILEO (CL028) | U Rispoli | -- | Settled worse than midfield, 1 off with cover. Commenced to improve after the 600m, ran on satisfactorily. |
4 | 12 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | M Du Plessis | P-/B2/TT | Settled at the rear from an outside gate travelling 3-4 deep with cover. Under pressure from the 500m, responded well to figure in the frame. |
5 | 9 | KUNG HEI FAT CHOI (CL157) | T Clark | XB | Travelled 2 wide with cover, midfield. Was taken out 3 wide no cover after the 800m. Was dour in the run home. |
6 | 3 | WINNING PAL (CJ138) | C K Tong | B/TT | Camped midfield the fence. Railed up in the final stretch but whacked away one paced. |
7 | 11 | FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) | H W Lai | B | Settled 2-3 wide with cover at the tail of the field. Came widest in the straight but peaked on its run well short of the line. |
8 | 1 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | M L Yeung | B1 | Eventually crossed to the fence after the 1000m and settled in the lead. Was a spent force after the furlong. |
9 | 7 | EPATANT (CL349) | Z Purton | H1 | Settled in fourth position 1 off the fence. Faded over the final 100m. |
10 | 5 | SABINA (CK169) | B Prebble | -- | Not the best to begin settling with the backmakers, 1 off with cover. Failed to close off. |
11 | 4 | HAPPY EAGLE (CL347) | T H So | B/TT | Camped well back in the field along the paint. Railed up in the straight but despite being ridden vigorously from the 450m, never responded. |
12 | 8 | GREEN GLORY (CJ177) | G Mosse | B/TT | Settled back in the event from a wide gate but was posted 3-4 deep without cover for most of the trip. Never likely. |
