1 | 2 | IVICTORY (A257) | J Moreira | -- | Positively ridden on jumping from wide draw, tracked leader before taking over 350M, quickened to a commanding lead mid straight, well on top 100M out, coasted home. |
2 | 12 | TRIUMPHANT JEWEL (P310) | H T Mo | B/TT | Dropped back from draw 12, settled last for the first 600M, brought widest on straightening, kept on solidly for 2nd but couldn't pose serious threat to the easy winner. |
3 | 4 | RADIANT STEED (V127) | P-C Boudot | B/XB/TT | Couldn't slot in racing wide no cover in midfield, chased steadily over final 300M to just miss 2nd on the line, no match to easy winner though. |
4 | 5 | JADE THEATRE (A040) | Z Purton | B | Began well from draw 1 to be chasing leaders in 3rd, kept battling in the straight without getting closer to the winner, unable to hold off 2nd and 3rd final 100M. |
5 | 10 | BACK IN BLACK (T358) | K Teetan | -- | Restrained in midfield about 4Ls off leader, saved ground on the rails, kept grinding home and unable to improve position. |
6 | 1 | FORTUNE BO BO (V017) | H N Wong | B/TT | Emerged as leader passing 1000M, given a breather 700M, relinquished the lead 350M, fought on to 150M, faded towards the finish. |
7 | 8 | WHO ELSE BUT YOU (T341) | M L Yeung | H | Never far off from leaders, 4th turning home and well placed to strike, had his chance, only held ground over final 200M. |
8 | 6 | CHARITY GLORY (T302) | N Rawiller | CP/TT | Hampered shortly after the start and ended up in the 8th spot further back than intended, caught 3-wide in midfield, kept on only fairly on straightening, never a winning chance. |
9 | 11 | GOLDEN HARVEST (N236) | A Sanna | TT | Drifted back to near the rear, kept to inside throughout, only one paced home. |
10 | 3 | FLYING TOURBILLON (T051) | U Rispoli | B/XB | Held up 2-wide in mid-division 4Ls behind leader, found the line only fairly. No threat to leaders. |
11 | 7 | FAIRY TWINS (V222) | N Callan | TT | Sluggish away, ended up towards the rear, 5Ls to make up at 400M, couldn't finish off. |
12 | 9 | COMFORT LIFE (B169) | B Prebble | TT | Checked shortly after the jump and lost position, ended up in rear, still long way back turning in and did not find much under pressure, checked late stages. |
