1 | 2 | BREAKING POINT (CJ179) | P Strydom | SR-/B/H1 | Always thereabouts on rails, fought hard to gain slender advantage over 100 M out, just held off runner-up's late challenge. |
2 | 11 | NOBLE TWINS (CH257) | M Chadwick | B | Drawn wide and raced wide in prominent positions mostly in 4th to straight, fought on under pressure to just fail to peg back winner. |
3 | 4 | GREEN GLORY (CJ177) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Waited with, circled field around the bend, finished off race nicely off the rails, did best work late. |
4 | 7 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | B Prebble | B/TT | Towards the rear, raced wide into the straight, made up good ground as usual down the centre of the track, nearest at finish. |
5 | 10 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | G Cheyne | PC-/B2 | Attempted to make all, came under pressure to maintain position after straightening, folded up quickly inside final 100 M. |
6 | 8 | HUMONGUS (CJ265) | D Whyte | B | Midfield, came to challenge after straightening but baulked over 150 M out, kept on to the finish. |
7 | 12 | OUTTALIMITZ (CK312) | W M Lai | CP/H | Towards the rear throughout, never nearer. |
8 | 9 | RAY'S FAVOURITE (CL045) | Y T Cheng | B-/CP1 | Settled just outside leader to straight, hit the front momentarily upon straightening, soon weakened. |
9 | 5 | HEALTHY CONTENDER (CJ342) | K C Leung | H | Began from the widest barrier, soon taken across for rails run with backmarkers, saved ground turning for home, not clear run most of way in straight. |
10 | 1 | CLASSA (CK267) | T H So | B | Slowly away, raced wide towards the rear early improving to midfield far side, took closer order turning for home, kept on before fading inside final 200 M. |
11 | 6 | GORGEOUS RULER (CK403) | Z Purton | B/TT | Settled just better than midfield, not much room behind leaders early in straight, found nothing inside final 200 M. |
12 | 3 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | B Doyle | B/H | Jumped moderately, soon settled in midfield on rails, saved a lot of ground turning in, weakened badly under pressure inside final 200 M. (Questioned for disappointing performance.) |
