1 | 1 | BILLION (CH316) | Y T Cheng | -- | Vied for early advantage on the fence, slotted into a trailing position in 2nd or 3rd about 1L back at 800 M, led again 300 M out and pulled away decisively. |
2 | 8 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | M Du Plessis | V | 2Ls back in 4th out 2-wide from 1000 M to home straight, gave vain pursuit of the winner but still held a clear 2nd. |
3 | 11 | G-ONE LEADING (CE306) | F Coetzee | -- | One from rear about 9Ls off pace out 2-wide at 1200 M, 5Ls back in 8th entering straight, stayed on pretty well for 3rd. |
4 | 7 | CLASSIC KING (CD256) | W M Lai | B/TT | Taken back to race 10Ls last at 1200 M and still last but 7Ls back turning for home, ran on okay past spent rivals late on for 4th, never nearer. |
5 | 12 | PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) | M W Leung | B | Disputed early tempo out 2-wide before leading by 1L from 800 M to home straight, headed at the 300 M and fizzled out rapidly. |
6 | 10 | KEY WINNER (CG157) | D Whyte | TT | 7Ls back out 2-wide in 8th at 1200 M, ridden along to be 4Ls down in 6th entering stretch, very flat finish, however. |
7 | 2 | DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) | K L Chui | SR/TT | Squeezed out shortly after start, 7Ls back in 9th on fence at 1000 M and not in a good position at final bend, no impression. |
8 | 5 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | H W Lai | -- | 3-back on fence in 6th about 5Ls and almost identical position swinging for home, failed to take advantage of a soft trail in the final 300 M. |
9 | 6 | JUGGERNAUT (CJ019) | G Boss | CP | Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout, 1L back in 2nd or 3rd and facing the breeze from 1000 M to home turn, faded very quickly inside final 300 M. |
10 | 4 | DOUBLE PLEASURE (CD069) | G Mosse | -- | Box-seated 2Ls back on rails in 4th at the 1300 M, 3Ls back in 5th on fence off last bend, very tame finish given his cushy passage. |
11 | 9 | CHINA SPORTFIELD (CG032) | Z Purton | B-/V2 | Performance deemed unacceptable, niggled along when 8Ls behind in 10th at 1000 M, offered nothing under pressure, found lame next day. |
12 | 3 | PUERTO RICO (CH147) | B Prebble | PC/H | Performance deemed unacceptable, hung out throughout, 2-wide and 5Ls adrift in 7th at 1000 M, very wayward off last bend, soon eased down. |
