1 | 14 | FIGS (CE141) | S Dye | B | Away well, led out wide setting a good pace and clear by 2Ls on rail at 1200 M, a neck clear at top of home straight but kicked on again 2Ls clear at 200 M, all out to hang on. |
2 | 1 | EVER KING (CE147) | K L Chui | V/TT | Worse than midfield with cover about 6Ls off pace down backstretch, edged a little closer turning for home, stayed on dourly under pressure but winning post came a stride too soon. |
3 | 10 | CAPTAIN BUNNY (CD367) | C W Wong | -- | Better than midfield with cover about 4Ls or so off pace until home turn, stayed on OK for a place but well held from the quinella inside final 200 M. |
4 | 3 | CHARMING SPEEDY (CE186) | D Whyte | B/TT | Awkwardly away, 3-back on fence around midfield about 5Ls from the pace through first half, under pressure to improve off final bend, made some modest late ground. |
5 | 2 | FEBURO (CE203) | D Nikolic | B | 3-wide with cover in rear bunch about 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, similar margin behind when 4-wide taking final bend, plugged away down the centre of the track. |
6 | 13 | WISHING WELL (CD368) | H W Lai | B | 2Ls off speed in 2nd at 1200 M, a neck down in 2nd off final bend, one-paced and weakened inside final 200 M. |
7 | 12 | SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) | F Coetzee | -- | Restrained to be about 8Ls last at 1200 M, 4-wide and still last off home turn, went past a few tired rivals on the run-in. |
8 | 8 | DEFLECT (CD094) | C K Tong | XB/H/TT | 4Ls back in 4th on fence at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 4th off home turn, found very little off the bridle and weakened out. |
9 | 6 | HURRICANE WAY (CH039) | Y T Cheng | B | Lost ground at start, raced 5-back on fence towards rear about 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, marginally closer turning for home but that was as close as he got. |
10 | 9 | SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) | G Mosse | B | Raced keenly and more prominently than normal about 3Ls off pace out 3-wide no cover in 3rd at 1400 M, ridden along to stay in touch entering home straight, gave ground quickly. |
11 | 4 | TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) | O Doleuze | B | Midfield and caught 4-wide no cover about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, still very wide turning for home and well back, posed no danger to principals. |
12 | 11 | NOBLE BOSS (CD360) | M Nunes | TT2 | Slowly away and always in rear trio, never better than 6Ls off speed at any stage. |
13 | 7 | COP HILL LAD (CD292) | H K Yim | -- | Raced keenly with head up early when 4-wide no cover in midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace, struggling to lie up turning for home, dropped out in straight. |
14 | 5 | DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) | K T Yeung | B2 | Always towards rear, about 6Ls back in 10th at 1200 M, didn't manage to get much closer. |
