1 | 1 | VANILLA (P439) | M L Yeung | B | Began fairly, ridden but no speed, dropping to midfield along rail 4L from leader. Made good ground around final turn to be 2nd into straight, hit the front 280m, bolted home under hands and heels riding. |
2 | 5 | GOLD DRAGON (S339) | C Schofield | B/TT | Began fairly, no early speed, dropping behind midfield but holding fence. Shaken up passing 550m, tracked winner into straight, kept chasing despite widening gap. |
3 | 14 | CONSISTENT (T045) | M Chadwick | H | Hard ridden from widest gate to get forward position, taking first turn 3-wide before settling 3L from leader back stretch but without cover. Shaken up 500m, looked chance on entering straight, boxed on gamely. |
4 | 11 | FLYING MACHINE (T413) | O Murphy | SR/TT | Began awkwardly but picked up quickly, settling in box seat 2L from leader back stretch. Shaken up 650m when tempo increased, looked chance on straightening, then one-paced. |
5 | 10 | DIAMOND FRIENDS (S376) | C Y Ho | H/P/TT | Jumped OK, restrained and shifted across behind horses, settling at rear in one-off position. Dropped to last passing 950m, still last entering straight before finishing off nicely, doing best work final stages. |
6 | 3 | EXPEDITE (N111) | K Teetan | XB-/H/PC | Broke well, unable to handle early pace and slipped back to rear in one-off position. Was not asked for an effort until straightening for home when taken to centre track and ran on steadily. |
7 | 13 | DIGITAL PIONEER (V177) | T H So | B | Began fairly, restrained and shifted across behind runners to rail, settling at rear. Left flat-footed 600m when tempo increased, took rails run in straight, ran on nicely to 100m when flattened. |
8 | 8 | IMPERIAL CONCORDE (P425) | S De Sousa | CP/TT | Broke well, ridden to obtain forward position, settling midfield in one-off position. Lost position passing 1000m, swung wide into straight, ran on fairly. |
9 | 2 | ENREACHING (V291) | B Prebble | -- | Got off well, pressed forward, took first turn 3-wide, before settling in one-off position 2L from leader back stretch. Steadied and lost position passing 600m, one-paced in straight. |
10 | 9 | GOOD FIT (S131) | O Doleuze | B-/H-/PC2/TT | Restrained shortly after start and shifted across behind runners, settling last. Made a short forward move 950m, swung wide into straight, boxed on fairly. |
11 | 7 | DRAGON HARMONY (T283) | J Moreira | B/TT | Bounced best, taken to front and travelled strongly, setting good pace. Well clear entering straight but under pressure passing 300m and weakened. Unacceptable performance. |
12 | 12 | TRUE COMMENT (S328) | A Badel | CP/TT | Quickly away, pressed forward, seltling 4L from leader in one-off position. Under pressure home turn, losing position, and found nothing in straight under hard riding. |
