1 2 BRIGHT KID (C060) Z Purton B/XB Didn't begin fast and hard ridden to position just worse than midfield, 3 wide with cover throughout. Moved the widest on straightening before closing strongly in final 300m to move to lead passing the 75m. Strong win.
2 10 BREEZE OF SPRING (C309) K C Leung CP2/TT1 Steadied away from heels after start & consequently settled worse than midfield away from rail. Shifted wider passing the 350m before finishing very strongly in the final furlong to charge to second in the closing stages.
3 5 UNTOLD RICHES (D414) M L Yeung -- Mustered good speed after the start to lead. Raced over 2L clear nearing the 250m before being passed by winner at the 75m. Only beaten just over a length on line in encouraging debut.
4 6 FORTUNE MASTER (D371) C Y Ho -- Shifted across from wide gate to race midfield, three wide with cover throughout. Moved closer to lead approaching corner when continuing wide with cover before finishing well to be only a length behind on line.
5 14 COPARTNER ERA (C534) V Borges B Drifted back after the start before settling third last on rail after first furlong. Shifted wider entering the straight, over 6L from lead before finishing well to halve margin on line. Never likely from rear but ran ok.
6 3 JUDY'S STAR (C311) N Callan -- Raced in first 4 after start before drifting further back to midfield between runners. Continued between runners on cornering when 3.5L from lead but could only maintain margin in dash to line.
7 11 HAPPY TANGO (D075) K Teetan B/XB Drifted back after start to just worse than midfield away from rail. Entered last section 4.5L from lead, shifted wider at the 350m & made up a length or so in dash to line but was never a likely threat.
8 13 LUCKY GUY (T349) M F Poon B-/TT Held rail position in midfield throughout. Hard ridden straightening & never featured.
9 1 DAY DAY RICH (D231) C L Chau B/TT1 Began well before racing on leaders back. Continued to follow leader on straightening before peaking on run soon after entering last section & weakening thereafter.
10 8 WAR LORD (C113) J Moreira E/P1 Ridden forward after start but left wide & without cover throughout. Improved position closer to lead nearing 600m when continuing wide passage. Peaked on effort soon after straightening & weakening out after tough run.
11 12 ROCKET HAMMER (C520) H N Wong B1 Steadied from wide gate & taken back to last away from rail. Moved the widest runner when second last on straightening & never featured in dash to line.
12 4 MORE THAN ENOUGH (D372) A Badel B/TT Obtained good position behind leading trio away from rail. Only 2.5L from lead entering last section but offered nothing in the straight & weakened out poorly.
13 7 INTERSTELLAR (C270) A Hamelin B/XB1/TT Showed speed after start to improve & race outside leader. Hard ridden on cornering to maintain contact with leader before dropping out poorly in last section to be beaten big margin.
14 9 FRESH POWER (B067) C Wong B/TT Steadied after start & shifted across from wide barrier to race second last on rail. Relegated to a clear last approaching corner & failed to improve to be a long last.
