2 | 3 | FAT CHOY OOHLALA (CL250) | B Prebble | B | Began better than usual, took ideal spot two wide just behind pace, tracked well to bend, loomed at hit lead at 300m, kept fighting and was caught in final 50m. |
3 | 6 | DRAGON FIGHTER (CL260) | M L Yeung | -- | Jumped with rest, posted 3 wide without cover 2-3Ls back, did it tough in mid section, joined in at 300m and stuck on bravely just missing 2nd. |
4 | 1 | MILITARY MOVE (M077) | D Beadman | H/XB | Taken back to rear from outside alley, settled last 7-8ls back on rails, same position but made 2 wide run turning, gradually shifted into clear and closed hard to make frame. |
5 | 8 | PURE CHAMPION (M178) | M Chadwick | TT | Even break, unable to slot in and trapped 4 wide without cover, hard work in mid section, didn’t dash but kept on soundly given workload to be not far away in finish. |
5 | 13 | MR BOND (M098) | K C Leung | -- | Standard jump, pushed up to race midfield 3-4ls back on rails, quiet time in mid section, saved ground turning, stayed on ok to be nearest on line. |
7 | 12 | DIEGO (CK088) | M Du Plessis | B | Tardy into stride, positioned behind midfield 5-6ls back in running line, keen in mid section, made some ground down middle but couldn’t get closer last 150m. |
8 | 5 | TURF EXPRESS (CL399) | G Cheyne | TT | Moderate beginning, raced behind midfield on rails, 5ls or so away throughout, stuck on ok without looking likely. |
9 | 4 | IRON EAGLE (M156) | W C Marwing | H-/CP1 | Taken back from a wide gate, shared rear 7ls or so back, still well back turning, made some minor progress without threatening. |
10 | 7 | HOT SHOT (CL289) | D Whyte | TT | Even getaway, settled 3 wide in midfield, 3-4ls back with cover, not far away to bend, flat footed when they sprinted and just held ground in straight. |

12 | 14 | NORTH HILL (CJ082) | W M Lai | -- | Amongst first few to begin, all favours situated on leaders back, kept to rails throughout, weakened out from 300m. |
13 | 11 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | Z Purton | V/TT | Lobbed in a midfield position 4-5ls back in running line, no excuses to bend, stopped soon after straightening. |
