1 | 2 | COTTON BALL (CD327) | G Schofield | -- | Pressed on out wide to be a neck down in 2nd when 2-wide at 1400 M, led at 800 M, same at final bend and a head to the good at 200 M, gamely asserted inside final 50 M. |
2 | 13 | X-SPEED (CC341) | C Munce | -- | 2Ls off pace and 2-wide in 3rd at 1400 M, keen at 1000 M, advanced to be about half a length down in 2nd entering stretch, every chance when a head 2nd at 200 M, didn't follow through. |
3 | 1 | WADADELIGHT (CC340) | K S Yu | B | 2-wide and 4Ls behind in 6th at 1000 M, 3Ls back in 5th into home straight, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, kept on at same pace. |
4 | 7 | JOY TRUMPS (CD242) | O Doleuze | B/TT | 3-back on fence 6Ls off pace at 1000 M, niggled along at 500 M, 3Ls down in mid-division taking home turn, never got any closer to first three home. |
5 | 8 | MADE IN HONGKONG (CD139) | C Brown | B | Towards rear at least 5Ls off pace through first half of race, still worse than midfield when 4Ls off pace but 5-wide on straightening, always outpaced by front three. |
6 | 5 | SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) | B Prebble | V-/P2 | Towards rear about 7Ls behind at 1200 M, marginally closer turning for home, ran on past a few tired rivals late. |
7 | 4 | TEMMOKU (BV108) | E Saint-Martin | CP | Despite gate 7 draw he was caught 4-wide no cover when 3Ls down in 5th at 1000 M, 5-wide on straightening when 3Ls down in midfield, faded inside final 200 M. |
8 | 6 | SEA TREASURE (CD335) | F Coetzee | CP/TT | 3-wide no cover when 3Ls down in 4th at 1200 M, gained cover at 1000 M, under pressure to retain prominent position at 600 M, very one-paced in straight. |
9 | 11 | STAR OF NORTHERN (CD173) | M Rodd | V/TT | 5Ls back in 7th when 2-wide at 1000 M, 6-wide (widest of all) turning for home when 5Ls back in 10th, finished off tamely widest and down centre of track. |
10 | 9 | ESPRIT D'OR (CD295) | A Delpech | TT | 3Ls off pace in 4th at 1200 M when throwing up head and losing some ground, headway to be 2Ls down in 3rd taking home turn, weakened badly inside final 300 M. |
11 | 10 | NOBLE BOSS (CD360) | Y T Cheng | TT | Flat-footed at start losing 6Ls or so on leaders, in rear at least 7Ls off pace from 1200 M to home turn, never on terms. |
12 | 12 | WIN FORTUNE (CB338) | H W Lai | B/TT | Led on fence by 1L at 1800 M until being headed by winner at 800 M, over 2Ls back in 4th and struggling entering home straight, came home in own time. |
13 | 14 | LOK WAH TREASURE (CA361) | W M Lai | TT | In rear but with main body of field and 3-wide with cover until the 600 M, detached and 8Ls down at the 400 M, soon eased down. (Heart irregularity.) |
