1 | 9 | HELLA HEDGE (P355) | K K Chiong | B | Strong start, quickly to lead, 1L lead 800m in moderate fractions, travelled strongly throughout, clicked up 350m, found just enough. |
2 | 5 | FLYING TOURBILLON (T051) | M L Yeung | B/XB | First to break the line, quickly headed, restrained into 2nd 1 off, back to 3rd on rail 900m, ridden 350m, railed through, almost on terms 75m but just missed. |
3 | 4 | TIME WARP (A066) | M Chadwick | TT | Fast to jump, unable to match early speed, settled 4th 1 off, keen at times, ridden 500m, still green and laying in, one-paced early in straight, strong through line late. |
4 | 1 | LOVE SHOCK (V287) | J Moreira | B | Slightly slow, eased early to settle midfield 1 off, ridden 380m, ducked out on turn, made solid ground but no threat. |
5 | 6 | WONDERFUL JOURNEY (T402) | N Rawiller | XB | Away on terms, natural speed to press forward, awkward 1st turn and trapped 3 deep, settled 2nd 1 off, a little keen at times, asked for effort 320m, faded very late. |
6 | 2 | SUPER TURBO (V310) | B Prebble | -- | Slow into stride, mustered through to settle midfield on rail, got head up 750m, switched over heels entering straight, ridden 340m, only hit top gear very late. |
7 | 3 | DRAGON GENERAL (T400) | C Schofield | B/TT | Jumped well, let speed go, settled fore of midfield on rail, overraced 850m, settled better soon after, ridden along 500m, never likely. |
8 | 7 | HARRIER JET (T372) | N Callan | V/TT | OK start, last early, railed through to sit near rear on inside, travelled strongly throughout, pushed along 400m, made significant ground without ever challenging. |
9 | 12 | TRUMP (P106) | T H So | -- | Even jump, eased to beyond midfield on rail, on heels 750m, under a ride 350m, never a chance. |
10 | 10 | SPEEDY ACHIEVER (V021) | S De Sousa | B/TT | Eased from gate, settled beyond midfield 3 deep, eased to 1 off 750m but threw head about, niggled 450m, pulled centre track straight, no impression. |
11 | 11 | COURAGEOUS BROTHER (T397) | H W Lai | H | Began well, eased, settled beyond midfield 1 off, pulled widest into straight and ridden, weakened. |
12 | 8 | KING MORTAR (A097) | S Clipperton | B/TT | Good start, eased to 2nd last, back last 1000m, racing ungenerously, nudged along 380m, faded. |
