1 | 4 | SUPREME COMMANDER (CJ112) | B Prebble | V | Parked midfield the fence. Cornered four deep and finished off gamely to repel late challenge. |
2 | 14 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | M Chadwick | B | Settled towards the rear along the rail. Worked into the clear after the furlong and chased strongly to come up marginally short. |
3 | 10 | TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) | M Du Plessis | CP-/P2 | Stayed within a length of the leader to its outside. Hit the front near the 400 M, maintained a good gallop right to the wire. |
4 | 6 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | K C Leung | PC | Camped behind midfield the fence. Peeled out early in the straight and ran on well. |
5 | 13 | STAR OF CHIU TON (CJ175) | C K Tong | B/TT | Travelled worse than midfield, 2-wide with cover. Closed off soundly. |
6 | 12 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | G Cheyne | PC/XB | Settled with the backmakers on the rail. Fenced up in the home straight and ran on nicely. |
7 | 9 | NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) | B Doyle | B | Enjoyed a nice run on the back of the speed after shifting out to travel 1 off with cover near the 900 M. Had every hope. |
8 | 2 | ICE FIRE (CJ272) | J Lloyd | SR/XB/H | Raced towards the rear with cover. Passed tiring horse in the home straight. |
9 | 3 | GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) | C Y Ho | B | Settled in near last position 1 of with cover. Came wide in the straight, whacked away at the same pace over the final stages. |
10 | 11 | HONEST TREASURE (CE200) | C W Wong | B/H/TT | Had every chance after shifting in near the 900 M and tracking the leader along the fence. No excuses. |
11 | 8 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | O Doleuze | B | Got back in the field from a wide gate, settling 2-wide with cover. Copped a check near 200 M, not likely thereafter. |
12 | 1 | DASH (CG236) | W M Lai | B | Coursed wide early before slotting in to race 1 off with cover near the 900 M. Failed to run on. |
13 | 5 | GREAT SHOW (CK001) | Y T Cheng | B/TT1 | Settled behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Failed to close off and was disappointing. |
14 | 7 | GOLDEN BOY (CJ263) | M W Leung | B/H/TT | Led along the fence for most of the trip. Was a beaten horse turning for home, finishing well back. To trial. (See Racing Incidents.) |
