1 | 2 | STABLE MAIL (CE184) | F Coetzee | -- | Began with them, ridden along to take up a position, settled closer than usual 2-3Ls away in 2-wide spot, travelled nicely in run, stalked leaders on turn, gained split on turning, closed over the top of them for nice win. |
2 | 4 | AMPLE GAINS (CE021) | D Whyte | B2 | Average to begin, hard ridden to take closer order, took up midfield position 3-4Ls away, improved 3-wide from mid-point, within striking distance coming 4-wide into straight, stuck to task well but beaten by better horse. |
3 | 9 | GOLDEN SUN (CD386) | O Doleuze | SR | Standard to leave gates, allowed to slide back towards rear, raced 6Ls away in 2-wide spot, travelled kindly in mid-section, gradually made ground to turn, came wide into straight, ground away to line. |
4 | 11 | GLOBAL WIN (CG109) | K L Chui | B | Fist to hit ground, showed customary speed to take up running early, eventually worked to fence at mid-point, kept rolling 1L clear on bend, hung but held advantage on turning in, there until 200 M but tired late. |
5 | 10 | SUCCESSIVE GAINS (CC158) | H W Lai | B | Average to begin, hard ridden to hold spot early, raced 10Ls away at rear, began to circle 3-wide from mid-point, still well back on turning in, came to middle of track, made up many lengths late to be closest at finish. |
6 | 12 | LUCKY CHAMPION (CD178) | K W Tsui | -- | Began with them, positioned behind speed but lost ground into back straight, raced 8-9Ls away 2-wide in mid-section, came 3-wide on bend, swung wide in straight into middle of track, did best work late making good ground. |
7 | 5 | BEING FAMOUS (CD018) | G Mosse | B | Amongst first to begin, posted wide early working across from awkward alley, forced to race 3-wide without cover 1L back, always working to turn, struggling turning in and couldn't go on last 200 M after hard run. |
8 | 3 | WHATABOB (CD213) | D Nikolic | P-/B2 | Fast into stride, rolled forward to assume role outside leader (worked to get there), had even run thereafter 1L away, moved up to challenge and carried wide turning in, fitness gave out last 200 M and one-paced to line. |
9 | 8 | SUPER WONGCHOY (CB318) | M Nunes | -- | Broke with them, lacked early speed and drifted back to settle in rearward division, posted 3-wide 6Ls from leaders with trail in mid-section, began to make ground on circle, didn't find extra gear in straight. |
10 | 13 | DASHING THUNDER (CD080) | C W Wong | B | Tardy to begin, pushed along to hold spot on rails, raced rear to last on rails 8-9Ls from them, hard pressed on bend, kept to rails in straight but made little impression plugging away to line. |
11 | 7 | SURVEY SURVEY (CH070) | C K Tong | TT1 | Slow to begin and checked early, regathered to drive up into midfield spot, raced 3-wide 4Ls away with cover, always covering ground to bend, hard ridden to make ground turning in, battled away in straight. |
12 | 6 | SIROCCO (CA169) | K T Yeung | -- | Fair to begin, showed early toe to challenge for forward position, positioned 3 back on rail 4Ls away, carried back by tiring horse at mid-point, lost touch to be 6Ls off them on bend, made little ground along inside in straight. |
13 | 1 | FIGURES (CC307) | M W Leung | TT | Began well, showed plenty on speed to engage in battle for front, took trail behind leader after working early, not travelling and began to weaken at mid-point, dropped right out in run home to be well beaten. |
