1 | 10 | KENZAN (CB068) | M Cahill | -- | Well away from widest gate, up there out wide early then eased to be 3 wide 2Ls behind leaders. Quickened well from 250 M to hit front 100 M out, comfortably. |
2 | 8 | GRAND FIGHTER (CA225) | Y T Cheng | B | Held up 3 or 4 wide better than mid-division. Shifted out, became unbalanced when steadied near 600 M. Ran on well final 200 M to be nearest at finish, though no real threat to winner. |
3 | 11 | PAOBRIDGE (CB073) | W C Marwing | B | Broke fairly, pressed on to dispute lead 3 wide. Very brief lead passing 200 M but no answer to winner's finishing kick when challenged, lost 2nd spot final stages. Hung in throughout. |
4 | 5 | SNIPPETYIYEA (CB311) | D Dunn | -- | Niggled along a bit early to hold midfield position 3 or 4 wide. Took time to get motivated after straightening, made up some steady ground late. |
5 | 2 | EXULTATION (BV223) | K H Ting | -- | Jumped awkwardly, 2 wide towards rear about 7 or 8Ls off speed. Made steady ground final 200 M. |
6 | 12 | CZAR OF PRUSSIA (CB378) | D Whyte | -- | Slowly away, recovered some ground to be 5 or 6Ls adrift rear of midfield. Made the home turn awkwardly, shifted out and was 8Ls down towards rear on straightening, ran on a bit final 200 M. |
7 | 9 | GOLDEN AIR (BV105) | K S Yu | P-/V2 | Handy 5th on fence, 2Ls off lead. One paced in straight, began to tire close home. |
8 | 4 | KIMBER (BP155) | S K Sit | -- | Soon outpaced towards rear, hung in early stages. Ran past beaten runners concluding stages. |
9 | 6 | BOND (BT065) | G Mosse | B-/SR2 | Missed start, at rear despite ridden along. Last and 10Ls down turning in, ran past tired runners late. |
10 | 7 | CLASSIC JESTER (BP208) | M W Leung | B | Jumped only fairly, quickly improved to be amongst leading trio on rail. Slender advantage 500 M out, then well clear turning in. Run ended inside 200 M, swamped and dropped out. |
11 | 1 | EXPEDIENT (BT046) | E Legrix | B1 | Hard ridden to secure position in middle of leading trio. Struggled to keep up just before straightening, dropped away from 200 M. |
12 | 3 | SHINING CROWN (CA154) | F Coetzee | TT | In touch early from difficult gate, steadily dropped to midfield 2 wide. Dropped back further rounding home turn, not a factor in the straight. |
