1 | 1 | FRIENDSHIP (CE066) | C W Wong | -- | Led on fence by 1L at 1200 M, uncontested lead by 1L until home straight and at 200 M, just lasted home for the win. |
2 | 2 | SOLAR (CC198) | K T Yeung | B/TT | One from rear about 8Ls off the pace at 1200 M, 3-wide turning for home when 6Ls back, went inside finishing strongly, post came a touch too soon. |
3 | 9 | KEY WINNER (CG157) | K L Chui | TT | 4Ls back in 4th at 1100 M, enjoyed a nice run close-up until the home straight, finished fairly well and just about sneaked into the placings. |
4 | 3 | STAY YOUNG (CD109) | H W Lai | -- | On fence in 2nd at 1200 M, 2Ls back in 3rd on straightening, ran on at the one pace and nudged out of the money final strides. |
4 | 7 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | B Prebble | SR | Towards rear on fence through first half, shuffled back to 7Ls last at 600 M, ran on strongly in final stages and unlucky not to at least place. |
6 | 12 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | W M Lai | B/TT | 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd at the 1200 M, over-raced down the back, 3Ls down on straightening, failed to quicken up sufficiently. |
7 | 10 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | Y T Cheng | B | Towards rear as usual, 3-wide with cover and 7Ls back at 1000 M, closer on circle but 4-wide (widest) turning in while hanging, nearest finish. |
8 | 5 | CLOVIS (CH044) | G Mosse | XB/H | Fractious in gates, 3-wide no cover despite gate 4 from 1200 M, sent on to be a close 3rd at 600 M, and a neck 2nd into stretch, tired late but not beaten far. |
9 | 11 | MEGA BULLET (CH192) | M Nunes | -- | Slow away and switched in from wide gate, 9Ls back in rear at 1000 M, still well back turning for home, always chasing majority of the field. |
10 | 4 | VINCERE (CE324) | M Du Plessis | B | 3-back on fence in midfield about 5Ls off pace at 1100 M, lost this position and worse off in rear turning for home, one-paced thereafter. |
11 | 6 | G-ONE LEADING (CE306) | F Coetzee | -- | 2-wide around midfield about 5Ls behind leader through to final bend, petered out tamely. |
12 | 8 | ZEPHYRUS (CH285) | D Whyte | B1 | Slow away, 3-wide with cover 5Ls back in 8th at 1000 M, left without cover from 700 M and closer but unbalanced on straightening, soon beaten. |
