1 | 14 | PINGWU SPARK (A262) | K C Leung | -- | Pressed forward to lead early, before settling 3rd/4th and 1 off the fence. Loomed up to lead at 200m, where jockey lost the whip. Stayed on strongly under jockey power and just held off fast finishing 2nd. |
2 | 4 | SOUTHERN LEGEND (A252) | N Rawiller | V1 | Dropped back from the wide draw to sit behind midfield, 1 off the fence. Ran well in the straight. Very strong late, and was rapidly closing on the winner. |
3 | 8 | KEY WITNESS (S212) | C Schofield | B/TT | Dropped back early from the wide barrier to sit at the rear of the field. Last at the 350m. Produced a massive turn of foot in the straight and grabbed 3rd place on the line. |
4 | 5 | PABLOSKY (S156) | T Berry | B | Cruised forward early to sit midfield. Stuck 3 wide with no cover from 800m. Stayed on solidly in the straight, but just lost 3rd in the shadows of the post. |
5 | 10 | JUMBO LUCK (V068) | K Teetan | -- | Taken forward early to sit 3rd/4th, on the fence. Restricted room at 850m. Momentarily nosed in front at the 250m, but was 1 paced in the straight and swamped late. |
6 | 1 | LINE SEEKER (S269) | M F Poon | B/TT | Eased back early and settled towards the rear of the field, on the fence. Keen in the middle stages. Not pushed hard early in the straight, and got whip caught in reins at 200m. Stayed on well when finally pushed to the line late. |
7 | 12 | SLEEP EDUCATION (A362) | C Y Ho | -- | Eased forward and settled forward of midfield, on the fence. Plugged away early in the straight. Stayed on OK over the last 100m, but never threatened. |
8 | 9 | HARD PROMISE (A373) | M L Yeung | -- | Taken up early. Checked at 850m and eventually settled 5th, 1 off the fence. Stayed on fairly under hands and heels, and never threatened. |
9 | 3 | HOUSE OF FUN (V092) | J Moreira | TT | Pressed forward from the wide draw to eventually sit 2nd, on the shoulder of the leader. Had no kick and faded out quickly from the 200m. |
10 | 6 | FLYING TOURBILLON (T051) | W M Lai | B/XB | Cruised up to sit midfield, 1 off the fence. Only fair in the straight and not pushed out to the line. |
11 | 7 | HIGH FIVE (T200) | U Rispoli | -- | Bumped early and then dropped back to sit at the rear of the field. Only battled on fairly under the stick, and made no real impression. |
12 | 2 | SHAMAL (V290) | H N Wong | SR | Pushed forward to be the eventual leader. Still in front at 250m, but gave no response to pressure in the straight and dropped out quickly. |
13 | 11 | LEAN AMBASSADOR (A250) | H T Mo | B | Initially pushed forward, before easing back to sit just behind midfield. Plugged along the rails, without ever picking up speed in the straight. |
14 | 13 | ANDOYAS (T109) | K C Ng | B/H | Dropped back from the wide draw and sat at the rear of the field. Needs at least 600m further, and played no part in the race. |
