1 8 DREAM HORSE (CG029) C Soumillon TT Broke well. Travelled comfortably 1L behind leader throughout. Responded strongly when placed under pressure inside 400 M. Motored home and kicked away from rivals.
2 6 LUCKY STRAVINSKY (CE195) S Dye -- Broke well. Tracked leader on rail. Shared lead at 400 M. Finished off race well inside final 200 M but failed to match strides. Battled on but found winner too good.
3 7 OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) G Mosse V Average to begin. Settled midfield on fence. 3Ls back at 400 M. Charged home powerfully closing stages and took third on the line.
4 9 KEEN FLYER (CB330) K L Chui B/TT Jumped well and disputed early lead. Attempted to make all. Headed 200 M out. Gradually weakened in latter stages and didn't have enough to hang on to 3rd.
5 5 ELEGANT JEWELLERY (CG103) D Whyte -- Broke with them. Kept within 2Ls behind leader on fence. Closed gap between leader and looked likely at 400 M. Failed to make much impression and one-paced till the line. (Lame after race.)
6 10 OKEYDOKEY (CD190) E Saint-Martin B Away fairly. Pressured to stay slightly behind midfield. Similar going into final 400 M. Kept pace under hard riding but failed to turn up a notch. Ran on evenly.
7 14 KINGS CROSS (CG124) A Delpech -- Average away. Towards the rear on rail until final 400 M. 4Ls off pace and improved steadily. Ran past beaten runners final 200 M to be closest at finish.
8 1 GIANFANTI (CD216) O Doleuze V/TT Broke well. Kept in prominent position throughout. 2Ls behind lead in 6th place at 400 M. Hard ridden to pick up but unable to sustain effort to stay in contention.
9 2 GROOM RAIDER (CD329) C W Wong -- Average away. Within 2Ls of lead on standside rail. Looked likely when pressured after 400 M. Lacked extra kick and finished one paced. Faded gradually.
10 3 SPACE SHUTTLE (CE321) H W Lai P-/B2 Slowly away. Settled in rearward position around 4Ls off the lead at 700 M. Shifted out for better running at 400 M. Responded only fairly.
11 4 GRAND COMMANDS (CD300) Y T Cheng SR Broke well. Showed early speed to stay within 2Ls behind the lead. Unable to keep pace with field final 400 M. No answer under the whip and struggled latter half of race. Dropped out steadily.
12 12 HAPPY MASTER (CE050) W M Lai SR Broke with them. Outpaced from the off. Towards rear about 5Ls off lead at 600 M. Not able to pick up and failed to make impression. Never a factor.
13 11 THE ELEGANT GREY (CG126) C Brown -- Awkward to break and shifted out abruptly. Around midfield halfway on the outside fence. No response when asked. Well beaten.
UR 13 VITAL PATROL (CC335) M W Leung -- On jumping, stumbled and dislodged its rider. Riderless crossing finish line. (See Racing Incidents.)
