1 10 MY GOAL (CJ131) Y T Cheng -- Handily placed in midfield with cover no worse than 3Ls from the speed before final bend, quickened up well to lead 150 M out, pulled clear.
2 2 NAPA II (CJ248) D Beadman -- Taken back from widest gate, towards rear 3-wide with cover and 6Ls off speed at halfway, stayed on from well back to get 2nd late on but no threat to winner.
3 3 AMBITIOUS OWNER (CJ106) K T Yeung B/XB/TT 3-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls off pace at 800 M and led at top of home straight, headed by winner at 150 M and lost 2nd close home. (Tactic questioned.)
4 9 SMART KNIGHT (CK052) M L Yeung -- Midfield 4Ls behind early pace, left 4-wide on the circle and 3Ls back turning for home, one-paced thereafter and had his chance to place.
5 13 ACCELERATOR (CG179) M Du Plessis -- 3-back on the rails about 4Ls back in midfield in middle stages, always outpaced by the top trio.
6 1 RAISING SUN (CK154) P H Lo -- Did not break well and worked hard to lead by 1L at 1000 M on fence, headed shortly after straightening and one-paced to conclude.
7 6 ON SHAN BRAVE (CH230) K C Leung SR/V 2-wide and 1L off pace vying for 2nd down the back straight, still there with every chance off final bend, weakened steadily.
8 11 MOONGLOW (CG008) C K Tong B/TT At least 6Ls off pace at 1000 M in rear, still well back and struggling turning for home, made no impact. (Not fully tested final 100 M.)
9 7 PRIVATE ROAD (CK189) W C Marwing -- Slightly worse than midfield throughout, 4Ls off pace down the back, a little held up at top of home straight but he was well held anyway.
10 8 SUPER SURVEYS (CJ306) J Winks B/XB1 Had a nice spot with cover in 5th initially but over-raced in places, 3Ls back in 7th turning for home, very weak in the closing stages. (Questioned for poor performance.)
11 12 WING MASTER (CK258) W M Lai B/TT2 On the leader's back on the fence less than 2Ls from the speed until the final turn, dropped away very tamely given his very soft passage.
12 5 JUNGLE TREASURE (CJ277) J Lloyd -- Fractious in gates and slow to begin, 7Ls last at the 1000 M, marginally closer but still in rear turning for home, very weak conclusion.
13 14 DASH (CG236) C W Wong -- Never travelling well and always at least 5Ls from the speed, dropped out rapidly from top of home straight, to trial.
14 4 HAPPY PROGRESSION (CJ313) H W Lai B Worse than midfield down back straight but began to struggle at the 600 M, unacceptably weak in the home straight, to trial.
