1 | 5 | DECENT FELLOW (CH021) | K L Chui | B/H/TT | Travelled pleasingly in mid-division 7Ls back, crept closer approaching the home turn, commenced his run from 400 M, kept on well under pressure to register a maiden win. |
2 | 9 | KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) | S K Sit | B | Drifted back to a rearward position, not suited to the slow tempo and over-raced in the middle stages, caught wide turning in before coming with a sweeping late run inside 300 M to get within a neck of the winner. |
3 | 7 | SURE GAIN (CJ038) | W C Marwing | H/TT | Slotted into a 2-wide spot better than midfield but raced without cover in major parts of the race, well placed turning in and plugged on for 3rd. |
4 | 11 | NOBLE TWINS (CH257) | W M Lai | B | Vied for the early lead before settling in 3rd passing 1600 M, gradually shuffled back to a midfield position down the back straight, steadied near 350 M but stayed on well to claim 4th. |
5 | 3 | LITTLE BIG BOY (CJ012) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Broke well, soon took hold of a 2-wide position in midfield, pushed wide from 1300 M and went forward tracking leader, hit front early in straight but couldn't sustain effort over the final 200 M. |
6 | 12 | SUPER POWER (CH117) | M Chadwick | TT | Given a waiting ride in a 2-wide position towards the rear, had 5Ls to make up turning in, made some headway but never looked likely from that position. |
7 | 4 | CHINSOLA (CD328) | Y T Cheng | -- | Behind leaders in early stages before drifting back to midfield, looked promising early in straight but found no extra inside final 200 M. |
8 | 2 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | B Prebble | B | Eased to the rear on jumping, over 8Ls down in middle stages and was given a few reminders down the back straight, swung wide into straight and was again disappointing in the finish. |
9 | 10 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | M Du Plessis | B | Settled on the fence in a position behind midfield, shuffled back down the back straight and was last turning in, had 6Ls to make up but didn't pick up at all. |
10 | 8 | COME HO CHOI (CE082) | M L Yeung | B | Attacked the lead from the outset but was caught wide making the 1st turn, crossed to lead near 1600 M, outpaced from 300 M as stamina appeared to give out. |
11 | 1 | COOL RUNNINGS (CK014) | O Doleuze | -- | Settled better than midfield and never far off the pace, shaken up rounding the home turn but found nothing in reserves. Eased 100 M from home. |
12 | 6 | GENIUS MASTER (CJ117) | H W Lai | SR | Used up early to obtain a forward position, sat in 3rd in middle stages, under serious pressure passing 500 M and was beaten early in straight. (Jockey questioned.) |
