1 | 4 | EASTERN EXPRESS (T192) | J Moreira | B/TT | Pressed forward early to sit clear 3rd, just behind the 2 early leaders. Came round to lead at 300m. Ran strongly from that point. Peaked late, but was just far enough ahead to hold on. |
2 | 3 | BOOMING DELIGHT (A113) | S Clipperton | TT1 | Began well, and cruised forward to be placed forward of midfield, 4th/5th on the fence. Given a clear run to the line in the straight. Ran strongly, and almost mowed down the winner late. |
3 | 9 | DOYENI (T114) | K C Leung | TT | Fairly away and then taken up to sit midfield, 1 off the fence. Looked to be battling early in the straight. Came out across heels at 150m, and ran strongly to the line, gaining on first 2. |
4 | 8 | NASSA (A119) | K Teetan | -- | Dropped back early from the wide draw for a share of last place. Widest on the turn, and still last at the 200m. Showed a massive turn of foot late to run down the outside and take 4th. |
5 | 11 | BEAUTY WAY (A159) | S De Sousa | TT | Pressed forward early to sit forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Ran solidly in the straight without threatening a place. |
6 | 6 | SOLAR HEI HEI (T242) | H N Wong | -- | Pushed hard from the wide draw to ensure he had a share of the lead. Battled on 1 paced in the straight. |
7 | 1 | SEASONS BLOOM (V410) | Z Purton | TT | Eased forward early to settle midfield, but stuck 3-4 wide with no cover. Stayed on fairly in the straight, without ever threatening. |
8 | 13 | KEEN VENTURE (A024) | M L Yeung | -- | Dropped back early from the wide draw to share last place. Progressed fairly in the run home and picked up a few of the slower ones late. |
9 | 5 | SICHUAN DAR (T375) | C Y Ho | B-/H/TT | Eased out early to settle worse than midfield, 1 off the fence. Battled on fairly in the straight, with little progression. |
10 | 12 | HAPPY PLACE (S380) | C Schofield | B/H/TT | Bumped early and dropped back to sit towards the rear of the field, 3 wide with limited cover. Wider on the turn, but only plugged away to the line fairly. |
11 | 10 | ROCKETEER (A214) | T Berry | -- | Eased out early, eventually settling worse than midfield. Never responded to urging early in the straight, and not pushed to the line late. |
12 | 7 | GONNA RUN (T094) | U Rispoli | TT | Eased out early and settled worse than midfield, on the fence. Didn't respond to the stick, and was eased out late. |
13 | 2 | SIMPLY INVINCIBLE (V094) | M F Poon | B | Eased out early to settle midfield, on the fence. Never responded to riding in the straight, and dropped out quickly. |
14 | 14 | TRAVEL FIRST (T098) | K K Chiong | TT | Pushed hard early to share the lead. Race was run by the 300m, and dropped out quickly from that point. |
