1 | 4 | OWNERS LAD (CG273) | J Winks | B | Ridden along early and landed one out one back. Peeled out rounding the home turn and maintained a good gallop right to the wire to score in nice fashion. |
2 | 10 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | D Beadman | B | Raced midfield on the rails. Worked out into the clear turning for home and closed off soundly. |
3 | 7 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | Z Purton | XB-/B2/TT | Stalked the leader along the paint. Wasn't able to gain clear running for the majority of the straight. |
4 | 6 | PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) | S K Sit | -- | Led along the fence. Couldn't sustain its effort and tired close to home. |
5 | 2 | AURELIAN (CC025) | K C Leung | B-/CP2 | Raced behind midfield the fence. Made late headway without posing a serious challenge to the principals. |
6 | 11 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | M W Leung | B-/SR/TT- | Was taken back from a wide barrier to settle with the backmakers. Closed off well without threatening. |
7 | 9 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | Y T Cheng | SR/V | Parked outside the leader. Faded over the concluding stages. |
8 | 5 | BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) | W M Lai | TT | Raced midfield 2-wide with cover. Plugged away at the same pace in the run to the line. |
9 | 1 | SINGLE MALT (CK110) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Bumped at the start then, despite being ridden along, was slow to muster speed. Travelled wide and without cover in a midfield position thereafter. Never likely. |
10 | 12 | ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) | M Du Plessis | V | Slow into stride, raced keenly behind midfield, 2 deep with cover. Struggled in the straight. After the race, Veterinary Officer said the horse had an intermittent displacement of the soft palate. |
