1 | 3 | VIVA COUNCIL (A190) | H T Mo | H/V2 | Jumped well and ridden hard to come across face of field to lead. Travelled well and set up margin coming into straight before holding out challengers in the run to the line. |
2 | 11 | NICE KICK (B002) | S Clipperton | PC | Commenced well from wide gate before easing out of speed battle positioning slightly worse than midfield and three horses off the fence. Travelled well on cornering and made ground quickly before closing sharply in last 200m. |
3 | 2 | DR PROACTIVE (A345) | N Callan | -- | Commenced well before coming over and positioning behind leading pair. Moved closer to the rail at 700m before attempting to improve from 500m but still spotting leading pair big margin. Toughed it out gamely in the straight. |
4 | 5 | ROYAL MOJITO (A261) | G van Niekerk | B1/TT | Ridden across from wide gate to position midfield off the fence. Shifted out at the 700m and improved close to heels at 400m. Bumped at the 250m and switched back towards rail before hitting the line strongly in later stages. |
5 | 1 | CHEER WIN (V347) | K Teetan | B-/P1/TT | Slow to begin and subsequently positioned at the tail and was ridden up to maintain contact. Moved out wider on the track from the 500m but was still last upon straightening and made good ground in late stages. |
6 | 12 | HONG KONG'S FOLKS (B063) | M L Yeung | B-/H-/PC1 | Began moderately and did not have early speed before settling near the rear in the middle of runners. Entered the straight near the tail of the field and made some late ground in the run home. |
7 | 10 | SUNSHINE UNIVERSE (A130) | C Murray | B | Commenced moderately before positioning midfield one horse off fence. Was inconvenienced at 700m when horse in front lost ground and was not likely from that point. |
8 | 6 | BORNTOACHIEVE (T313) | H N Wong | XB | Ridden hard from wide barrier to come across and position in second place, one length off lead. Was prominent in early stages of straight but weakened out from 200m. |
9 | 8 | FAME AND FORTUNE (B082) | T H So | XB | Commenced well and went forward to hold position behind leading pair before being tightened at 700m and losing position. Looked under pressure from this incident but did battle away to the line fairly. |
10 | 9 | WINNING SUPREME (A351) | C Y Ho | B | One of the last into stride before easing back behind the field to position second from last. Was pushed the widest runner upon straightening and never threatened to challenge in the straight. |
11 | 7 | MOTHER WISHES (B474) | D Whyte | -- | Was slightly slow away before ridden up to maintain fence position, slightly worse than midfield before being eased at the 700m. Stayed close to fence throughout but never flattered in the straight. |
12 | 4 | HAPPY COOPERATION (T392) | U Rispoli | H/TT | Commenced moderately before ridden up to maintain prominent position in third behind leader. Was unbalanced approaching the 700m and was niggled along from 500m before dropping out in the straight. |
