1 | 12 | MR BOGART (V253) | C Schofield | B | Taken forward early to be well place 2nd/3rd, 1 off the fence. Nosed in front at the 300m, and challenged mid straight before kicking clear from the 150m to easily score. |
2 | 6 | EROICO (T009) | J Moreira | -- | Began Ok and not hard ridden early to be handily place in 4th, on the fence with cover. Held up early in the straight, before peeling off at the 300m. 1/2L off the winner at 150m, but couldn't match him late. |
3 | 8 | MERION (V080) | D Whyte | B | Steadied back from the jump to sit 3rd last, 7L off the leader. Plugged away early in the straight before finding a big turn of foot from the 150m, flying home to take 3rd, and closing in on 2nd. |
4 | 9 | ALMABABY (V057) | Y T Cheng | TT | Pushed forward early to assume the lead. Lay out early in the straight, and only went to the line 1 paced. |
5 | 4 | KEY WITNESS (S212) | N Callan | B/TT | Unbalanced on jumping, but recovered to sit just forward of midfield, on the fence. Plugged away solidly in the straight, without threatening a place. |
6 | 3 | SUPER LIFELINE (P158) | K K Chiong | -- | Drifted across early to sit midfield, 3 wide with limited cover. Only fair in the straight, but started to run on again late. |
7 | 1 | I'M IN CHARGE (S164) | M Chadwick | -- | OK away and eased forward early to sit in 5th, 3L off the leader. Battled on in the straight, but the tank ran dry at 150m and drifted out of contention. |
8 | 2 | COUNTRY MELODY (T011) | N Rawiller | H | Eased across from the wide draw to sit just behind midfield, 1 off the fence. Had plenty of options at the top of the straight, but 1 paced and went to the line quietly. |
9 | 5 | LUCKY DOUBLE EIGHT (P212) | C Y Ho | TT- | Dropped back early from the wide draw to sit at the rear of the field. Came off heels at the 250m, but was only plugging away and eased late. |
10 | 7 | TONYBOY (S101) | M L Yeung | V/TT | Crowded on jumping and didn't muster early, settling worse than midfield, on the fence. Went searching for a run early in the straight, but ran flat when given clear ground from the 250m. |
11 | 11 | AMBER DRAGON (P229) | K C Ng | B/TT | Didn't kick early and dropped back to sit equal last, on the rail. Never produced in the straight, and eased late. |
12 | 10 | HELLA HEDGE (P355) | C K Tong | B | Blundered badly on jumping, with jockey badly unbalanced. Managed to get forward to be 2nd, but never better than 3 wide with no cover. Race was run by the turn, and faded out quickly in the straight. |
