1 | 11 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | S Dye | -- | Dragged back to race about 9Ls last in 13th with cover at 1000 M, 6Ls back and still in rear off home turn, quickened up very well to lead inside final 100 M, won with a little in hand. |
2 | 5 | GOLD GEM (CG197) | D Beadman | H- | Awkward break, worse than midfield 3-wide with cover about 7Ls off speed at halfway, edged closer about 4Ls into stretch and with every chance at 200 M, outpaced by winner and just held 2nd. |
3 | 14 | HAPPY ASH (CG106) | M Nunes | B/XB | Keen early on, enjoyed the run of the race on fence 2Ls back in 3rd until home turn, upsides leaders at the 200 M, failed to sustain the bid and lost 2nd on the nod. |
4 | 13 | MASTER YING (CB249) | W M Lai | B | Soon led on fence by 1L, still holding a margin turning for home, headed inside the 200 M and one-paced closing stages. |
5 | 6 | CENAMIRA (CD129) | G Mosse | B/TT | Slow to start, 4Ls off pace 3-back on the fence in 5th at 1100 M, ridden along to maintain this position taking final turn, plugged on home at the one pace. |
6 | 12 | SPARKLE (CB406) | H W Lai | B/TT | 4-back on rails 5Ls or 6Ls back in midfield at the 1000 M, 4Ls back about 8th swinging for home, never likely in the finish. |
7 | 2 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | Z Purton | V/XB | Caught 3-wide without cover throughout, about 5Ls back in midfield at halfway, 5-wide entering home straight when 3Ls back, soon faded and hung in under pressure. |
8 | 7 | DANZIGMOUNTAIN (CG139) | S K Sit | B/TT | 8Ls last at the 1000 M and 6Ls back taking final bend, ran on past a few beaten rivals. |
9 | 9 | SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) | K L Chui | B-/P2 | Always worse than midfield and about 7Ls adrift through first half, with 5Ls to make up on straightening, posed no danger. |
10 | 4 | FIGS (CE141) | K T Yeung | B | Messy start, a neck back in 2nd out 2-wide at 1200 M, still 2nd on straightening, yielded ground final 250 M. |
11 | 8 | SINOSPIEL (CG003) | F Coetzee | B | 6Ls off the speed in midfield with cover at the 1000 M, ridden along to be about 3Ls down making final turn, weakened out inside final 200 M. |
12 | 10 | DANEPRINT (CC221) | Y T Cheng | B | Switched from widest gate to fence, 7Ls off pace in rear bunch at the 1000 M, 5Ls back in 11th taking last bend, never landed a blow. |
13 | 1 | BAUHINIA (CD118) | O Doleuze | B-/PC2 | Never travelling well, ridden along when 5Ls behind in 6th at 1000 M, all out to get within 3Ls of the pace turning for home, beaten when checked at the 200 M. |
14 | 3 | LIGHTNING SPEED (CG263) | G Boss | CP | Handy position 2-wide and 2Ls or 3Ls off pace in 4th down backstretch and same into home straight, found very little off the bit and beaten when hindered about 200 M out. |
