1 | 2 | BEAUTY GENERATION (V380) | Z Purton | B | Taken up early, before running onto heels 1400, checking and dropping back to midfield 2-3 wide. Pushed on from the top of the straight, nosing ahead at 200m. Solid to the line, and just holding on late. |
2 | 14 | CALIFORNIA DISEGNO (V170) | S De Sousa | CP/TT | Taken forward early to share the lead, 1 off the fence. Stayed on well in front in the straight, battling with the winner and just peaking before the line. |
3 | 13 | WESTERN EXPRESS (A090) | J Moreira | -- | Leapt out of the barrier, slow away and dropped back to sit 3rd last, 1 off the fence. Still at the rear on turn, before coming wide. Huge run in straight, going around nearly every horse, almost running down 1 and 2 late. |
4 | 10 | WINNER'S WAY (A025) | M Chadwick | TT | Scrambled forward early, but managed to get stuck 3 wide no cover in a share of the lead. Battled gamely in front down the straight, just peaking at the 50m and losing a place. |
5 | 9 | MARVEL HERO (T311) | K Teetan | -- | Dropped back early from the wide draw to sit at the rear of the field, on the fence. Weaved through the field late, and finished strongly. |
6 | 12 | MIGHTY MAVERICK (V150) | A Badel | B-/XB/CP2 | Cruised up from the inside draw to be handily place 5th, on the rail. Held up for a run until 300m. Ran on solidly when clear, but no threat. |
7 | 1 | SIMPLY INVINCIBLE (V094) | K C Leung | B | Handily placed 4th, 1 off the fence. Awkwardly placed on heels early in the straight, before switching out at 200m for a clear run. Came to nothing and faded late. |
8 | 5 | SERGEANT TITANIUM (S332) | C Y Ho | -- | Cruised up early to settle just forward of midfield, 1 off the fence early. Never kicked and went to the line 1 paced. |
9 | 3 | SANTA FE SUN (P210) | B Prebble | B/TT | Eased back from the wide draw to sit last, 2-3 wide. Still last and widest at the 200m. Given an impossible task, and ran well late to pick up a few late. |
10 | 6 | HAPPY PLACE (S380) | M L Yeung | B/H/TT | Gradually taken up to sit midfield, before crowded out of his run at 900m and losing ground. Held up early in the straight, and only started to get moving at 150m, and had no time to make any impression. |
11 | 11 | TOP ACT (P435) | K K Chiong | H/TT | Pushed forward early to share the lead, on the rail. Offered nothing in the straight. |
12 | 4 | RODRICO (A091) | S Clipperton | B1/H1 | Eased forward from the wide draw to settle worse than midfield, 3-4 wide with limited cover. Looked to run on from 400m, but never kicked and only fair to the line. |
