1 | 12 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | K L Chui | B/TT | Settled 6th out 2-wide and 4Ls back in 6th at 1000 M, 3Ls back and going well turning in, stayed on strongly to lead final strides. |
2 | 1 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | D Whyte | -- | Box-seated on fence 2Ls back in 4th until the 600 M, 1L down in 2nd off last bend and led 200 M out, stayed on well but thwarted in shadows of the post. |
3 | 4 | NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) | H W Lai | -- | Taken back from wide gate, 8Ls behind the pace in 10th at halfway, progress out 4-wide turning for home, ran on well to figure in the money. |
4 | 14 | GLOBAL WAY (CG158) | F Coetzee | B/TT | Close 2nd out 2-wide through early stages, pressed on to lead by 2Ls at 900 M, all out when headed at the 200 M, run out of a place final 30 M. |
5 | 7 | CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) | G Boss | B/TT | 4-back on fence about 6Ls back in midfield at 1000 M, drew 3Ls closer on straightening, ran on okay without quite troubling the principals. |
6 | 3 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | B Prebble | B | 5-back on fence in 10th or so through first half, checked when trying to draw closer off last bend, failed to quicken up with the main players. |
7 | 10 | TALE OF FRIENDSHIP (CH184) | O Doleuze | SR | Always niggled along, 3-back on fence 4Ls from the speed at halfway, hard ridden when 2Ls in 3rd at final turn, very tired final 250 M. |
8 | 13 | STARFINDER (CH074) | M Nunes | B | Soon 10Ls last and under pressure, driven along to be 6Ls back in 10th cornering for home, plodded on past a few stragglers. |
9 | 6 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | E Saint-Martin | -- | 7Ls back in 10th at the 1000 M with cover and similarly positioned making last turn but without clear running, no danger once clear. |
10 | 2 | GOLD GEM (CG197) | K T Yeung | CP/TT | In rear, blundered and almost fell 800 M out, still at least 8Ls down turning for home, eased down soon afterwards. |
11 | 9 | BAUHINIA (CD118) | M W Leung | P | Went back from gate, at least 8Ls behind early pace, shuffled back to 7Ls last off final bend, made no impact down centre of track. |
12 | 5 | CITY SURFER (CG129) | C W Wong | H | Cut out the early running, no more than 1L clear before being headed about 900 M out, struggling when 2Ls down in 4th entering homestretch, wilted. |
13 | 11 | GOLD DIGGER (CD101) | C K Tong | CP | Held "one-out-one-back" position 2Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, pushed out 4-wide no cover on the circle, beaten soon after turning for home. (Blood in trachea.) |
