1 | 10 | KEEN SOUL (CH092) | F Coetzee | B | Never far off and always within 2Ls of pace despite racing in 5th or 6th position early. Responded well to take charge passing 200 M. Won easily. |
2 | 5 | TOP STITCH (CE273) | K T Yeung | TT | Jumped fairly. Soon took up running on rails and led narrowly most of way until headed inside 200 M. Hung on under pressure for 2nd. |
3 | 9 | WIKI WIKI (CD205) | K L Chui | -- | Jumped fairly but lacked pace to contest early lead, settling behind midfield. Commenced run upon straightening and ran home steadily under pressure without threatening. |
4 | 2 | CHOICE AND CHANCE (CA381) | W M Lai | B | Settled on rails just behind leader. No clear run in straight and not fully tested. (See Racing Incidents.) |
5 | 6 | MY PRIDE (CG017) | D Whyte | V | Remained wide in prominent position after beginning from poor draw. Still 3-wide and one back in 3rd rounding home bend but lost position turning in. Plugged on under pressure. |
6 | 3 | PERFECT TREASURE (CH091) | B Prebble | -- | Close up far side. Lost ground and dropped to midfield coming out of back straight. Shifted out for a run turning in but could only produce moderate headway without threatening. |
7 | 1 | HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) | G Mosse | V/TT | Began well. Disputed lead outside leader far side, hitting front briefly rounding home bend. Kept on before fading inside 200 M. |
8 | 8 | AMAZING CHOISIR (CH189) | C K Tong | -- | Slightly slow out. Settled at the back. Produced good late impression inside final 200 M. |
9 | 11 | VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) | H W Lai | B/XB | Niggled along just worse than midfield. Saved ground on rails turning in. Fought on steadily under pressure. |
10 | 12 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | Y T Cheng | SR | Always in last few and never seen with a chance. |
11 | 7 | INSIDER (CG112) | E Saint-Martin | B | Broke well racing 4-wide in prominent positions before dropping to midfield home bend. Lost further ground turning in. |
