1 | 6 | AOMEN (N008) | D Whyte | B-/P1 | Broke well, took a trail and eased into 1 out 1 back spot throughout, poised to strike rounding bend, soon rounded up rivals in straight and ran away for an easy win. |
2 | 5 | NOBLE ALPHA (M339) | B Prebble | -- | Away well, took up running, took trail in back straight, right there turning and joined in strongly with eventual winner, no match for winner but well clear of 3rd. |
3 | 9 | FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) | Y T Cheng | -- | Well back in running line more than 12Ls from top end, aided by pace but track conditions against, made a long sustained run and closed off creditably for 3rd. |
4 | 2 | MR MEDICI (CK218) | G Mosse | -- | Sat not far off pace group, 4Ls or so back in running line, even trip throughput, stayed on ok in circumstances before run ended at 200m. |
5 | 1 | SILVER GRECIAN (CL323) | Z Purton | H-/XB-/TT | Ended up behind midfield 10Ls back in running line, track pattern against and had job to do turning, closed well and looked a place chance but run ended at 200m. |
6 | 4 | CROWN WITNESS (M013) | M Chadwick | TT | Awkwardly away, mustered and worked forward wide to race outside leader, keep speed honest throughout, took over turning and there to 300m but quickly gave in and faded. |
7 | 11 | STRAIGHT FORWARD (CL100) | C Y Ho | -- | Behind midfield 8-9Ls back in running line, track pattern against, ridden along turning however never really featured. |
8 | 13 | EMPEROR CLAUDIUS (M128) | T H So | P/XB | Landed a midfield role, 8Ls or so away, even trip but struggling turning and never looked a threat despite hanging. |
9 | 10 | CHEER (CL277) | C Y Lui | TT | In rear division, more than 12Ls off pace on rails, track pattern hardly helped, rearward throughout passing only the weakening runners. |
10 | 14 | I SMELL MONEY (M019) | K C Ng | -- | Away well as usual, pressed on and took up running in back straight, shaded by outside horse throughout and kept pace genuine, headed turning and stopped quickly. |
11 | 8 | VAUGIRARD (CK347) | W C Marwing | B | Drifted back to rear from a wide gate, 15Ls off them at tail with track playing against, passed tired ones. Forgive run. |
12 | 7 | DISTILL (N270) | T Clark | -- | Landed a spot 4-5Ls back on rails, fair trail and not asked to turn, weakened badly from 400m to be beaten a long way. Forgive on surface. |
13 | 12 | ROYAL PARTNER (N394) | C K Tong | -- | Taken back from a wide gate, raced 2 and 3 wide at rear nearly 15Ls back, never sighted and beaten a long way. Forgive on surface. |
14 | 3 | TURF EXPRESS (CL399) | U Rispoli | TT | Trapped 3 wide towards rear, 12Ls or so back, struggling a long way out and finished tailed off (heart irregularity). |
