1 | 7 | TIPPERARY DAVOR (N301) | D Whyte | B | Benefitted from a tactical ride after drawing the widest gate, was able to settle 3 back, 1 off with cover. Peeled out to travel 3 wide midrace and began to improve its position. Cornered 5 wide and repelled late challenge. |
2 | 5 | MR MARFACH (M067) | Y T Cheng | B-/P1 | Rated close to midfield, 3 deep with cover. Got a nice cart in to the race rounding the home turn. Ran on gamely. |
3 | 12 | MEDIC CHAMPION (M054) | C Y Lui | V/TT | Enjoyed all the favors after box seating. Kept grinding away in the run to the line. |
4 | 11 | HERO'S WIN (M170) | R Fourie | B-/SR- | Missed the start after putting its head down as the gates opened, settling behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Came wide in the straight and closed off willingly. |
5 | 1 | HANDSOME BATCHELOR (CL076) | C Y Ho | CP/XB | Worked forward from a wide alley to eventually settle in second position, 1 off no cover. Hit the lead near the 250m, grudgingly gave ground over the latter stages. |
6 | 13 | SPARKLING (CK149) | T H So | TT | Crowded in the early stages, settling on the paint with cover. Kept towards the inside in the home stretch and finished off soundly. |
7 | 9 | RAINBOW SEEKER (CK300) | T Clark | B/TT | Ridden along after the start and raced strongly to take up leading duties on the fence in the early stages. Couldn't sustain its run and tired over the final 150m. |
8 | 2 | DANESOUTH (CL001) | K C Leung | H/TT | Settled close to the rail with cover, 3 back. Peeled out approaching the home turn, stayed on at the same speed in the final stretch. |
9 | 3 | MIRAGE R (M055) | T Angland | B-/P2/TT | Camped back in the field, 2 wide with cover. Kept plugging away in the home straight. |
10 | 10 | FANTASTISCH (CK017) | O Doleuze | XB | Pushed along from barrier rise and effectively settled 1 out 1back. Weakened in the straight after having every possible chance. Reported to be lame the following day right hind leg. |
11 | 8 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Raced worse than midfield, 3 deep with cover. Made no impression in the final stretch. |
12 | 4 | BEST NOODLE (CJ278) | H W Lai | -- | Jumped well and after the 1200M, was left racing 3 wide and without cover and was allowed to stride into a more forward position, on the speed. Was gassed in the home straight. |
