1 | 11 | LUCKY HERO (CH135) | M Nunes | -- | Fast away, took a prominent spot outside leader, raced on level terms and travelled strongly throughout, hit front passing 250 M, kept on well to score a solid win. |
2 | 1 | ELEGANT KING PRAWN (CE265) | S K Sit | -- | First to hit ground, took up ideal position on leaders back, travelled well in mid-section, right there turning, held up and only gained split at 200 M and closed nicely last bit. Solid return from long time off. |
3 | 4 | STEP TO WIN (CG167) | G Mosse | B/TT | Out with rest, pressed on to take closer order raced 1 out 1 back but overraced in mid-section, switched out turning, within a length at 200 M, but just peaked on run and held margin in finish. |
4 | 2 | MONEY MAN (CG115) | C K Tong | -- | Showed good pace and driven hard to find front, rolled along at an even pace with pressure from outside, shaded on turning, there to 200 M but couldn't match them late. |
5 | 3 | ENCHANTED (CE065) | F Coetzee | SR | Out with rest, ended up near to tail as usual 5 to 6Ls off speed, well back on bend, in traffic to 200 M, made many lengths last furlong closing best of rest. Big finish. |
6 | 12 | RAINBOW OASIS (CH165) | P H Lo | B | Even getaway, held a midfield role 4Ls back on rails, had easy run in mid-section, in behind horses turning in, kept on at same pace along inside to be not too far away at finish. |
7 | 5 | THUNDER DANCING (CG250) | K Shea | -- | Standard beginning, raced 3 wide in midfield with cover, 4Ls back rounding bend, switched very wide on bend, closed steadily down centre without threatening. |
8 | 14 | FERRO BEAU (CG244) | W M Lai | -- | Reasonable jump, ended up in midfield 4Ls away in running line, not used on mid-section, back between horses on bend, made some late progress in straight at same pace. |
9 | 13 | CONGRATULATION (CH032) | D Whyte | -- | Began well, raced 3 wide without cover close to lead, applied some pressure in mid-section striding to leaders, did work to turn, right there at 350 M but couldn't go on last 200 M when workload took toll. |
10 | 9 | FAIR WIN (CE027) | B Prebble | -- | Standard jump and taken back to race in rearward division, 2 to 3 wide, 5Ls off pace in middle stages well back and bumped on straightening, one paced over concluding stages. |
11 | 10 | SINGING DINERS (CH063) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Ordinary jump, posted 5 wide without cover 6Ls off pace, set on impossible task covering too much ground throughout, widest turning and in impossible spot but still made some progress. Forget run. |
12 | 8 | WINNESSY (CH293) | Z Purton | -- | Standard getaway, raced on rails behind midfield 6Ls from pace, not set a task in middle stages, saved ground on bend, closed only at same pace. |
13 | 6 | WALK WITH ME (CG278) | Y T Cheng | -- | No pace, regathered to race 6Ls back on fence, lost ground at 1000 M, a clear last on bend, found little in run to line passing only a tired runner. |
14 | 7 | SUPER MUSIC (CG248) | A Delpech | B/TT | Began in line, posted 4 wide without cover from an awkward alley, used plenty in middle stages, niggled on turning, weakened out noticeably from the 300 M. |
