1 | 10 | SILVER BLAZE (CJ149) | B Prebble | -- | Showed speed, raced prominently before leading outright on outside rail, always travelled well, held a 1L advantage at 300 M, pushed out to score in good fashion. |
2 | 2 | BEJEWELED (CH289) | G Boss | -- | Fair getaway, sat behind pace closer to middle of course, shifted into clear running at 300 M, finished race off nicely to take 2nd place. |
3 | 7 | LUCKY QUALITY (CH134) | Y T Cheng | TT1 | Jumped in air, mustered to race in behind leaders 2Ls back, always travelled in mid-section, kept progressing last 300 M when in clear to finish a nice 3rd. |
4 | 4 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | Z Purton | -- | Not much early pace, raced 4Ls away on outside rail back with last few, urged along at midpoint, kept improving and did best work late to make frame. |
5 | 12 | ABLE DANCER (CJ136) | M Nunes | -- | Showed some early pace, held position behind leader towards outside rail, urged along at 400 M to hold spot, stayed on at same pace to be not far away in finish. |
6 | 1 | GOOD TOUCH (CJ033) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Began well, had enough pace to be up sharing lead, raced greenly towards centre, hung when placed under pressure, could only hold ground over the concluding stages. |
7 | 3 | CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) | M W Leung | -- | No pace from jump, settled a clear last 6Ls away, improved from midpoint, steadied and lost run at 200 M when making solid progress, kept on evenly thereafter to be closest at finish. |
8 | 6 | REDHILL COMMANDER (CH078) | M Du Plessis | -- | Moderate beginning, raced at rear 5Ls back towards stand side, made a run from 500 M, kept closing to 100 M before steadied, just held ground thereafter. |
9 | 13 | HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) | E Wilson | V/TT | Unbalanced early, crossed to set behind midfield close to outside rail, kept on evenly under urging from 300 M, in traffic at 100 M, never really threatened thereafter. |
10 | 8 | NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) | H W Lai | B- | Out well there, raced greenly behind pace close to middle, 2 to 3Ls back at midpoint, condition soon gave out and lost touch from 300 M. |
11 | 9 | OCEAN WIDE (CJ132) | D Whyte | -- | Modest beginning after being crowded, pushed on to be up sharing lead at midpoint, under pressure soon after 400 M, gave little and weakened out. (See Racing Incidents - "not comfortable".) |
12 | 5 | LUCKY RED (CJ059) | W M Lai | -- | Fractious in gate, showed usual pace to be up sharing front, right there at 400 M still challenging, had little to give late and faded last furlong. |
13 | 14 | BLUE SAINT (CJ080) | S K Sit | TT | Began well enough, up close to front 1L off pace, under pressure at 400 M, quickly surrendered and dropped right out late. |
