1 | 4 | THAT'S IT (CE223) | D Whyte | -- | 4-back on fence about 6Ls off pace in 7th at 1200 M, closer about 4Ls back in 6th when 2-wide entering stretch, picked up nicely to lead 150 M out, driven out to hold a neck margin. |
2 | 6 | CHINOOK (CC108) | K L Chui | B | 2-wide and 3Ls back in 4th at 1100 M, 2Ls back in same position at home bend, every chance 200 M out, hung right under pressure and just lacked pace of winner. |
3 | 10 | TABBRIS (CB088) | S Dye | B/TT | Led on fence by 2Ls at 1200 M, 1L clear on straightening, headed by winner 150 M out but did enough for a place. |
4 | 7 | BUDDIES POWER (CB201) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Had the run of the race on fence about 2Ls off pace in 2nd or 3rd until final bend, had every possible hope to at least place so no excuses. |
5 | 9 | EVER KING (CE147) | M Nunes | V/TT | Twice steadied early on and settled in 9th at 1000 M about 7Ls off pace, marginally closer taking home turn, moderate late headway, never nearer. |
6 | 2 | SPACED (CG034) | Y T Cheng | TT | 3-wide no cover before getting in 2-wide over 2Ls back in 3rd at 900 M, 1L down and under pressure in 2nd turning for home, one-paced in the finish. |
7 | 3 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | F Coetzee | B | On fence 4Ls back in 5th at 1100 M, niggled along 3-back on fence around bend when 3Ls behind, disappointed for running at 200 M but looked held in any case. |
8 | 5 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | D Nikolic | -- | Over 8Ls behind in 10th at 1200 M, no closer on straightening for home, made some minor late ground without threatening. |
9 | 11 | WATCHMAN (CB327) | P H Lo | B/SR | 5Ls back in 6th and 2-wide at 1100 M, same margin behind but in 8th on straightening, never troubled leaders. |
10 | 12 | AURELIAN (CC025) | H W Lai | CP | Over 8Ls back in rear at 1200 M, still well back in rear swinging for home, didn't find much off the bridle. |
11 | 1 | AWESOME DRAGON (CG210) | G Mosse | B | Slowest away, about 10Ls last early on, left 3-wide no cover at 800 M so pressed on out wide to 4Ls off pace in midfield from 600 M to home turn, no extra and weakened. |
12 | 8 | WINNING PATTERN (CG125) | B Prebble | CP/XB | Always in rear, 7Ls behind in 8th at 1200 M relegated to last turning for home, stayed there. |
