1 14 SUN JEWELLERY (T301) J Moreira TT Began well and taken forward to sit in a handy position on the rails. Took very little encouragement to kick from the 300m, and went to the line under a hold, with plenty left in the tank.
2 1 LET ME GO (P215) G Mosse H/XB Began awkwardly, but taken forward to sit better than midfield on the rail. Crowded at the 400m. Came through the gap left by the winner when he kicked at 250m. Ran on strongly from there, grabbing 2nd on line.
3 4 PRECISION KING (P134) K C Ng P Taken forward from the jump to lead, and held the rail for the trip. Asked to go when winner began to loom up at 250m, and ran on well. Peaked towards the finish, and just lost 2nd.
4 6 DR GOOD HABIT (N300) M L Yeung TT Began well and taken forward initially, before easing to find cover midfield 1 off the fence. Pushed forward to be well placed at the top of the straight, and ran on well, but fading late.
5 8 VICTORY MAGIC (T272) K C Leung -- Fairly away, and settled worse than midfield, 1 off the fence. Kept on steadily in the straight, improving in the last 200m.
6 12 ANTICIPATION (T198) M Chadwick B-/TT Began well and not used up early, sitting midfield on the fence. Wider on the turn for a run and ran well in the straight, improving from the 200m.
7 2 WINNING LEADER (N268) H N Wong H Taken forward from the wide draw to sit 2nd, 1 off the fence on the leaders flank. Handily placed on the turn and asked the question early in the straight, but never responded and faded from the 200m.
8 7 LOTUS BREEZE (T112) C Y Ho H/XB/TT Crowded on jumping, before sitting at the rear of the field 2-3 wide. Came 2nd widest round the turn and ran on OK, picking up a few of the slower ones, without threatening late.
9 9 PREMIUM CHAMPION (T187) T H So B/TT Began fairly before sitting at the rear of the pack 3-4 wide. Eased back to sit last on the fence, before coming wider on the turn. Only plugged away in the straight.
10 5 GOAL FOR GOLD (S439) A Suborics B1/TT1 Began well and taken forward to sit in a handy position 1 off, 1 back with cover. Lost his run at the 400m, but never ran on when given the chance, and eased across the line late.
11 13 FORMULA WON (P183) C K Tong TT Slightly awkward to begin and stuck 3-4 wide at the rear early. Under pressure around the turn, but never responded and faded late, beating a few easing up.
12 10 SPEEDYGONZALEZ (N412) W M Lai B/H/TT Began OK, settling at the rear of the field on the fence. Came wider on turn, but never in it and eased out late.
13 11 UNIVERSAL UNION (S263) D Whyte -- OK to begin, and taken to a position just behind midfield. Taken wider 1100m, and forced race wide. Never finished off, and well beaten in the straight. Unacceptable performance.
14 3 MR GENUINE (S253) B Prebble H/XB Began fairly, but couldn't settle into a position, and ended up worse than midfield, 4 wide without cover. Widest on the turn, and dropped out soon after.
