1 3 NEW ASIA SUNRISE (T268) R Moore -- Began OK, but not used early and happy to sit midfield, on the rail. Had to force a run just before the 300m, but ran on strongly from there. Slowing down late, but had to much in hand and held.
2 4 RADIANT BUNNY (S418) Z Purton -- Eased out of the barrier and dropped back to sit towards the rear of the field, 1 off the fence. Near last on the turn, but ran home strongly in the straight, clocking the fastest last sectional, but left with too much to do.
3 12 GLENEALY PRIZE (T181) J Moreira -- OK away and not used up early to settle just behind midfield, 1 off the fence. Ran home strongly in the straight, rolling past 4th horse but just losing 2nd on the line.
4 9 HONEST HORSE (S428) S De Sousa B1 Pushed forward from the wide barrier early to eventually settle in 2nd, outside the leader. Tackled the leader from the top of the straight and led from 300m. Weakened from 150m, and dropped out from 50m losing a place late.
5 6 ALL WIN BOY (P171) H W Lai H/TT Fairly away and not used up early to settle 3rd last early, on the rail and 7L off the leader. Held up in the run home until 300m, running on OK when clear.
6 14 SO CAFFE (S258) C Y Ho CP-/TT Bumped on jumping and taken back from the wide barrier to sit at the rear of the field, 1 off the fence. Ran on steadily in the straight, without ever threatening to place.
7 1 BUDDY BUNDY (T157) R Fourie B1/H1/TT Kicked well, and pushed to hold the lead on his own early. Bumped and slightly unbalanced at the top of the straight. Still in front at 300m, but tackled by the chasers, and faded out quickly from there.
8 13 WHO'STHEDUDE (T312) Y T Cheng B OK away and settled midfield early, on the rail. Battled on fairly in the straight, but never kicked and went to the line 1 paced.
9 7 BEST EFFORT (T220) K C Leung -- Dawdled out of the barrier and settled at the rear of the field, 9L off the leader. In the last couple on the turn. Ran on fairly in the straight and picked up a couple of slower runners on the way to the line.
10 8 WAYFOONG VINNIE (V055) K Teetan -- Settled midfield, 1 off the fence after beginning OK. Plugged away 1 paced in the straight.
11 5 BEAUTY MASTER (V135) N Callan TT Jumped well and taken forward to be handily placed 4th, 2L off the leader and 1 off the fence. Lay out under pressure in the straight, and never fully tested.
12 11 SIGHT SEEING (S291) H N Wong XB/TT Taken forward from the wide draw to sit midfield, 3 wide with no cover. Well positioned with clear running on the turn, but ran flat and dropped back through the field quickly in the straight.
13 2 LUCOBLU (V073) G Mosse -- Began well and taken forward early to be handily placed 3rd, on the rail. Never responded to pressure in the straight, and eased a long way out. Vet reported blood in trachea.
14 10 EXCELLENCE (T314) M L Yeung H/CP1 Began OK, but didn't push forward and settled worse than midfield, 3 wide. Race was run before the turn, and faded quickly in the straight to be tailed out 26L last. Unacceptable performance.
