1 | 1 | BRILLIANT TREASURE (CH045) | D Whyte | -- | Began with rest, assumed a midfield position, 3Ls back in 2 wide line, improved 3 wide with cover on bend, made a strong bid at 300 M, held rivals easily in run to line. |
2 | 5 | NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) | M Du Plessis | -- | Even beginning, settled 3 wide behind midfield 4 to 5Ls back, covered ground throughout, tracked eventual winner on bend, stayed on soundly in straight to finish a handy 3rd. |
3 | 12 | HEART TO HEART (CH160) | M Nunes | B/TT | Shade tardy to break, raced in rearward division 2 wide 6Ls back, pace not really to suit, made solid progress between horses in straight to be nearest on line. |
4 | 3 | CHIEF WITNESS (CJ219) | W M Lai | TT1 | Began swiftly, took up running soon after, led at even sections, 1/2L clear on bend, raced greenly and hung in straight, condition gave out last 200 M. |
5 | 9 | SURE GAIN (CJ038) | B Prebble | -- | Jumped with rest, settled in midfield on rails 3 to 4Ls back, didn't use much in mid-section, stayed on evenly along inside (steadied 350 M) but just held ground late. |
6 | 2 | SUPER CEE JAY (CG289) | P H Lo | B/TT | Out well, unable to slot in and forced to race 3 wide without cover 2Ls back, did share of work to bend, challenged on turning but hard run took toll from 300 M and didn't finish off last furlong. |
7 | 8 | LADY FIRST (CJ067) | O Doleuze | -- | Well enough to begin, settled in coveted 1 out 1 back spot, no excuses to bend, found little under pressure and dropped off from 300 M. |
8 | 11 | INVESTAR (CH099) | K L Chui | B | Bounced out, assumed prominent spot outside leader, had an easy time to bend, forced to hold spot from 500 M, there to 300 M but unable to lift a notch and faded out late. |
9 | 10 | MASTER OF SHAVERS (CJ026) | G Mosse | XB | No early pace, settled back towards rear 7Ls away racing 2 wide, pace against in mid-section, well back turning, only passed tired runners in straight. |
10 | 7 | WHAT A THRILL (CJ086) | G Boss | -- | Away in line, took up a prominent spot on leaders back, had ideal run with favourable tempo, urged along on turning, didn't respond and faded from 300 M. |
11 | 6 | TIME TO WIN (CJ115) | Y T Cheng | CP1 | Out with rest, soon drifted back towards rear, raced 5 to 6Ls away on rail, used little in mid-section soon struggling and dropped out tamely. |
DISQ | 4 | GLORIOUS FEELING (CJ129) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Slowly away, settled a clear last 8Ls off lead, saved ground on rails and tacked on at bend, made plenty of ground between horses in straight to finish a remarkable 2nd. |
