1 | 4 | SPECIAL DAYS (CH236) | F Coetzee | B | Jumped in the line, soon mustered to drive through and lead, kept pace genuine throughout, held a length advantage on bend, displayed a sharp turn of foot to space rivals holding them to score comfortably. |
2 | 1 | GRAND CRU (CG265) | D Beadman | V | No pace as usual, ended up sharing rear, advantaged by reasonable tempo, still 2 wide 1 out back on circle, made a run between horses on turning, didn't have clearest running to 200 M, closed off well late when clear. |
3 | 2 | HOLD HANDS (CH116) | C K Tong | B | Didn't have early pace, ended up well down 10Ls or more back 3 wide, tracked up with cover on bend, last and widest turning for home, made good headway last 400 M doing best work late for a place. |
4 | 7 | HAPPY MASTER (CE050) | D Whyte | SR | Standard jump, drifted back to race behind midfield, ended up 8 to 9Ls back on rails, suited by sections in middle stages, switched 3 wide leaving bend, made good ground down middle to make frame. |
5 | 6 | CIRCUIT HERO (CG304) | O Doleuze | TT | Showed plenty of speed, took a prime position on leaders back, didn't have a rest with solid speed on, eased out to challenge on turning in, looked a place chance at 300 M but run ended last furlong. |
6 | 5 | MAINLAND SHUTTLE (CG315) | G Mosse | -- | Fair to begin, settled in 2nd half of field 8Ls back on rails, had a suitable run with pace on, eased 2 wide on circle but lost position, steadily gained ground in straight without really threatening. |
7 | 8 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | G Boss | B | Out reasonably, ended up in a midfield role 6Ls back in 2 wide line, tracked into race nicely on bend, into clear at top of straight and continued to close to 100 M before run ended and lost place chance. |
8 | 9 | SILVER MARK (CE226) | S K Sit | V/TT | No pace from outset, back with last few 10Ls back on rails, saved ground and used little with solid pace on, inconvenienced at 250 M and lost run, just held position thereafter. |
9 | 10 | RIGHT FRAAR (CE024) | M Nunes | B | Standard jump, drifted back to race 8 to 9Ls back in rearward division, helped by solid tempo, made a 3 wide run on circle without cover, ground away in straight at same pace holding ground in run to line. |
10 | 12 | WAIT FOR ME (CE332) | C W Wong | TT | Began with move purpose, settle much closer 5Ls away on fence, no excuses in run, conserved energy on bend, 2 wide turning but lacked usual finish and weakened over concluding stages. |
11 | 3 | HERE WE GO (CH247) | B Prebble | B/TT | Had natural pace from gates, pushed on to race handy to lead, raced 1L back at a solid speed, crept closer on bend, struggled from 300 M and weakened out late. |
12 | 11 | EQUATOR KID (CC134) | M W Leung | -- | Out fairly, assumed spot 4Ls back on fence, enjoyed easy time despite pace on, angled 2 wide leaving circle, offered little when they sprinted and dropped out. |
