1 | 10 | SEA DIAMOND (N237) | T Clark | H/TT | Away ok, took a midfield spot just off pace, 3-4Ls back racing 2 wide throughout, peeled to centre on turning in, responded to hard riding to sweep passed rivals final 100m for a strong win. |
2 | 5 | FOREVER ELATION (CK215) | T Angland | B | Away with rest, ended up 5Ls back in midfield on rails, crept closer saving ground turning, made a strong bid at 200m, overhauled by winner late. |
3 | 8 | DEEP THINKER (N159) | T H So | XB | Broke well, took prime position on leaders back, all favours to bend, into mix from 300m, stayed on well but unable to find extra last 100m. |
4 | 11 | DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) | W M Lai | H | Showed plenty of early speed to cross from a wide gate racing outside leader, fair run with even sections, applied test to leader at 400m and took over, peaked 100m. |
5 | 13 | GIGGLES FOREVER (N069) | C K Tong | H | Angled into a spot behind midfield, raced 6-7Ls back in 2 wide line, plenty to do turning, closed best of rest to be nearest on line. |
6 | 3 | KING'S PACT (N244) | Z Purton | TT | Drifted back from a tricky alley, raced behind midfield, 3 wide 6-7Ls away with cover, still near last turning, bumped in straight and kept on ok despite this to make minor progress. |
7 | 9 | MEDALLIST (N024) | M Du Plessis | CP/H1/TT | Jumped with them, taken back to race behind midfield, shade keen in a 3 wide position with cover on circle, 5ls or so away turning, switched out but only battled when clear. |
8 | 1 | AFFLUENCE OF RAIN (CL363) | W C Marwing | H/P/TT | Even break, went forward but posted 3 wide throughout, had cover in midfield on circle 4Ls back, clear from 300m but was one paced concluding stages. |
9 | 7 | UWILLBEGLORIOUS (N212) | W Pike | B | Standard jump, allowed to drift back, raced 4 wide at rear 6ls back, keen in mid section and still well back to bend, bumped at 200m, stayed on ok in circumstances. |
10 | 6 | GOLDEN OSMANTHUS (N245) | Y T Cheng | H- | No early speed, settled at rear on rails, 7Ls or so off lead, always well back, took inside runs turning and passed a few tired runners late. |
11 | 14 | MERIDIAN TREASURE (N084) | C W Wong | -- | Even start, trapped 4 wide and pressed on to race 3 wide without cover 3Ls back, did work until turning, soon struggling and faded after tough trip. |
12 | 12 | ALL FRIENDS (M374) | H W Lai | -- | Away in line, pressed on but caught 4 wide, unable to slot in and travelled very wide with cover throughout, struggling turning and unable to raise another effort after hard run. |
13 | 4 | MI SAVVY (N138) | O Doleuze | SR | Began nicely and took a trail in ideal spot 1 out 1 back, travelled well throughout, peeled out turning but offered little and weakened disappointingly (see racing incidents). |
14 | 2 | ALL VICTORY (M107) | M Chadwick | TT | Showed plenty of speed to lead from wide gate, set even tempo to suit, challenged at 400m, kept on to 200m when run ended. |
