1 | 7 | WINNING LEADER (N268) | Z Purton | H | Began nicely, took a trail and ended up with ideal run in 1 out 1 back spot, all favours to bend, loomed for a challenge at 300m and dug in to take control final 50m. |
2 | 9 | MIGHTY K (M315) | B Prebble | H/TT | Pressed forward from a tricky alley to race outside leader, relaxed well in run and sat 1/2L away to bend, drew to lead at 400m, fought well and just lost out in duel over final 200m. |
3 | 1 | IT HAS TO BE YOU (N356) | D Whyte | -- | Even getaway, pressed on but caught 3 wide just behind them, 3Ls away to bend, didn't dash but kept on soundly to hold a placing. |
4 | 4 | PLENTIFUL (CK319) | C K Tong | B | Bounced out well and travelled further forward than usual racing on leaders back, had every chance to bend, lacked a dash but stayed on evenly to make frame. |
5 | 8 | ANCIENT KINGDOM (M210) | T Clark | B/TT- | Fair getaway, posted 3 wide without 2Ls back, made a bit of ground at 400m and looked a place chance but workload too toll and dropped off late. |
6 | 3 | OPEN SESAME (CL091) | M Chadwick | TT | Angled back and toward rail from a tricky gate, raced with last few 5-6Ls away, made headway between horses turning, came on evenly but peaked on run at 100m. |
7 | 12 | CHAMPION MOUNT (CK087) | W Pike | B/TT | Posted 4 wide without cover from an awkward draw, 4Ls off lead doing share of work throughout, same margin down turning, stayed on evenly given task. |
8 | 14 | THE FAST LANE (N079) | H W Lai | -- | Standard break, raced in running line 4-5Ls back amongst horses, gradually crept closer turning, made only modest progress in straight. |
9 | 6 | CHAMPAGNE DAYS (CL024) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Unable to drop in and raced 3 and 4 wide with cover, 5Ls away in mid-section, pushed wider turning, came on reasonably in straight holding ground after tough trip. |
10 | 5 | FRESH AIR (CL206) | K C Leung | H1 | Showed good pace to take up running from outside gate, set standard tempo to suit to bend, kept on briefly but additional trip took toll and stopped quickly final 200m. |
11 | 2 | MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) | M Zahra | XB | Tardy into stride, settled at rear 6Ls away in 2 wide line, always well back to bend, made minimal headway in stretch. |
12 | 11 | BACKSTREET FIGHTER (N210) | W M Lai | TT | Drifted back from a wide gate, raced 3 wide at rear 6Ls or so away, came wider turning, only passed beaten runners. |
13 | 10 | SAMADHI (N200) | T H So | -- | Settled just off midfield near to fence, 4-5Ls off speed, saved ground throughout, same margin back turning, made no impression in straight. |
