1 | 8 | NICE FOLKS (CL421) | O Doleuze | B | Drifted back from a tricky alley, raced 3 wide at rear 6Ls away, switched widest turning and closed hard down centre, overhauled rivals strongly final 100m. |
2 | 2 | ADORATION (M214) | D Oliver | B | Pressed forward from a wide alley but trapped 3 wide without cover, did some work outside runners 1L away to bend, chimed in at 250m, led until final strides when overhauled. |
3 | 12 | MIGHTY K (M315) | M Du Plessis | H/TT | Positive from outset, positioned outside leader shading inside horse for first part, took over on circle, led them turning in, kept fighting and went down narrowly in 3 way go. |
4 | 11 | DEEP THINKER (N159) | H W Lai | XB | Standard jump, pressed up into ideal spot 1 out 1 back, had all favors throughout, took inside runs at 300m, kept on evenly to make frame without worrying first trio. |
5 | 6 | SUPREME FLIGHT (M199) | A Suborics | B | Worked forward from a wide alley, did it tough 4 wide without cover in mid-section, not far away approaching turn, kept to task well given trip to be not far away in finish. |
6 | 5 | FOREVER ELATION (CK215) | T Angland | B | Began with rest, settled just off midfield 4Ls back racing 2 wide, even trip to bend, worked home well despite a tricky passage and did well to get as close as he did without clear running. |
7 | 4 | THE UNTOUCHABLELAD (CK398) | M L Yeung | B | No early pace and dropped down to rear, 6Ls or so away at tail of bunched field, had job to do turning, took inside runs and passed a few in straight without looking likely. |
8 | 13 | TARREGA (M322) | T H So | -- | Showed speed to hold front, kept inside running despite pressure from outside horse, shaded on circle and crossed before bend, having niggled at 300 M but was one paced remainder of straight. |
9 | 3 | COSTA DEL SOL (M111) | W C Marwing | B | Positioned 3 wide in midfield 3Ls or so back, had cover but overaced in mid-section, didn't let down when they sprinted and just plugged away late. |
10 | 10 | SAMADHI (N200) | W M Lai | -- | Out fairly, unable to slot in and raced 4 wide with cover 4Ls back in midfield, ridden along turning, lacked a finish and battled in run home. |
11 | 14 | WINNING BOY (N186) | K C Ng | SR | Ordinary jump, raced back with last few on rails, 5Ls back on rails, same position back turning, no extra gear in straight. |
12 | 1 | MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) | K C Leung | XB | Tardy into stride, raced 5Ls away two wide at rear, not helped by spot but came wider turning, lacked a close and battled final 300m. |
13 | 7 | LUCKY WARRIOR (M292) | C W Wong | TT | Standard jump, made ground along rails to race 3Ls back in midfield, no real excuses in run, came under pressure at top of straight and weakened tamely. |
