1 | 6 | ROUND THE WORLD (CA227) | W Woods | -- | Broke awkwardly and lost about 3Ls at start, travelled well settling 6 to 7Ls off pace on rails until straight, got a split between horses 250 M out to smoothly grab lead, driven out. |
2 | 11 | STRATEGIC MOVE (BP233) | M W Leung | B | Enjoyed the run of the race in 3rd 2Ls off pace and on fence until 600 M out, short of room from 400 M to 200 M, ran on well final 200 M but no chance of catching winner. |
3 | 4 | EXPLOSIVE POWER (BV129) | F Coetzee | -- | Away well and sent on to lead on rails, was hassled for the lead by ZABETTE throughout, overhauled by winner 250 M out but stuck on resolutely, albeit a little one-paced, for 3rd. |
4 | 1 | NEW PLANET (CA037) | H K Yim | B | Drifted back, tagged onto field again to race 2-wide about 5 or 6Ls off pace 1200 M out, off bridle 600 M out but responded to pressure, blocked for a run 300 M, ran on strongly final 200 M. |
5 | 10 | SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) | W C Marwing | B1/SR1 | Sent on to settle in 6th place about 4Ls off early pace racing 2-wide, improved on bend to race 3-wide 2Ls off lead, battled on gamely in straight though a bit one-paced. |
6 | 8 | THE RICH MAN (BS130) | S Dye | B | Raced 3-wide about 5Ls off early pace, forced quite wide turning in, not really threaten final 300 M, one-paced. |
7 | 2 | MULTIZEN (BV340) | A Marcus | B | Raced 2-wide early on in midfield before slipping onto rails 3Ls off pace 800 M out, hard ridden entering straight, short of room 350 M out but not come on final stages when clear. (Lame.) |
8 | 12 | CYBER GULCH (BV300) | D Dunn | B | Held up towards rear, held rails 6Ls off pace 1200 M out, travelled well on straightening, very short of room on inside rail in straight, gab appeared much too late. |
9 | 9 | FAT CHOY TOGETHER (BN082) | G Mosse | B | Ridden on exiting and 8Ls off early speed, improved from 1200 M out racing 4-wide to get within 1L of lead turning in but under heavy pressure, faded from 300 M out. |
10 | 14 | TREMENDOUS WAY (BN106) | S K Sit | -- | Not break well but held up to settle a long way off pace in rear, 7Ls off pace 1000 M out, moderate level of improvement in straight, never nearer. |
11 | 3 | VICTORY DRUM (BT006) | D Whyte | B | Settled in 3rd last place 7Ls off speed, slight improvement on bend racing 3 and 4-wide, found nothing in home straight. |
12 | 5 | HIGH HILL FOREST (CA158) | J Egan | B1 | Never better than 2 or 3-wide or closer than 4Ls to lead, brief effort turning in out wide but no chance after 350 M out. |
13 | 13 | ZABETTE (BV031) | K C Tsang | -- | Sent on to duel with EXPLOSIVE POWER for the lead racing 2-wide, under heavy pressure but still in 2nd place 300 M out, dropped out very quickly thereafter. |
14 | 7 | MALAYAN PEARL (BT037) | E Legrix | B/TT | Raced 2-wide in 4th 2Ls off lead, under pressure turning in though still in contention turning in, soon very laboured and finished in own time. |
