1 | 13 | DARING FIT (V398) | D Whyte | B/TT | Easily got to the front from the wide draw to set his own tempo in front. Let down from the 250m. Challenged hard by 2nd all the way down the straight, but outlasted and kicked clear in the last 50m. |
2 | 1 | BEAT THE CLOCK (V397) | J Moreira | -- | Checked on jumping and dropped back to be worse than midfield, 3-4 wide and with no cover from 900m. Pushed forward to be 2nd at 400m. Challenged winner in the straight, but couldn't produce a kick to get past him. |
3 | 3 | ROUNDABOUT (T352) | B Prebble | SR | Taken up early to settle 4th/5th, 1 off the fence. Came wider for a clear run from 300m, and ran solidly to the line from there and making up some ground on the first 2. |
4 | 4 | WINSTON'S LAD (T348) | A Badel | H | Taken forward early to share 2nd, on the fence. Battled on gamely in the straight, holding his place, but only picked up real speed last 100 and no threat to first 3. |
5 | 11 | ENERGETIC CLASS (T082) | S De Sousa | H/TT | Broke well, before opting to drop back midfield, 3 wide. Wider on the turn and ran solidly to the line, without threatening a place. |
6 | 9 | LUCKY GUY (T349) | Z Purton | TT | Dropped back from the wide draw to sit towards the rear of the field, 1 off the fence and tending to over race. Ran steadily under limited urging in the straight, but never a threat. |
7 | 12 | KA YING KID (P189) | K Teetan | H/XB | Pushed to be midfield early, before drifting back to be 4th last, 3 wide with cover. Steady in the straight, and picked up some of the slower ones late. |
8 | 2 | ROYAL PERFORMER (V405) | O Doleuze | -- | Slow away and cruised forward early to sit midfield, 1 off the fence. Had every chance on the straight, but only went to the line 1 paced. |
9 | 8 | TOP SCORE (V357) | N Rawiller | TT | Cruised forward early to be handily placed in 4th, 3 wide without cover. Crowded on the turn, and only plodded to the line under hands and heels in the straight and was eased late. |
10 | 10 | THE JAZZ (A004) | H W Lai | B | Pushed hard early to share 2nd, 1 off the fence. Nothing left in the tank in the straight, and dropped out rapidly from the 300m. |
11 | 14 | PROUD SKY (V406) | M L Yeung | -- | Dropped back to sit last early. Never responded to urgings, and dawdled to the line in the straight. |
12 | 5 | CELESTIAL ARROW (A169) | K C Leung | XB1/TT1 | Slow to begin, before settling around midfield, 1 off the fence. Unsettled and checked off heels at 900m, and lost some ground. Didn't have much to give in the straight, and just plodded to the line. |
13 | 6 | DELIGHT EXPRESS (A099) | C Schofield | B1/XB1 | Didn't settle early when trying to get a position midfield. Came off heels 1200m and dropped back towards the rear of the field. Wider on the turn, but gave nothing and was eased late. |
