1 | 3 | WINNING GOLD (H461) | K De Melo | H/TT | Settled ahead of midfield, travelled well into straight, shifted into clear 300M then sprinted quickly for an emphatic win. |
2 | 13 | YEE CHEONG RAIDER (J176) | B Thompson | B/TT | From wide draw shifted across to race along the fence, maintained a position behind midfield, ran on steadily final 400M along the inside for 2nd. |
3 | 14 | YOUNG HORIZON (G272) | K Teetan | -- | Bustled along after the start, vied for early lead before dropping back to race behind leaders, battled away over final 400M to take 3rd. |
4 | 2 | LET'S DO IT (E132) | H Bowman | CP | Switched off to the rear on jumping from wide draw, 7-8Ls off leader early stages, still some work to do 400M, made solid gains and got up for 4th late. |
5 | 5 | GOLDEN RISE (H242) | Z Purton | -- | Caught wide early stages, shifted in for cover passing 1100M, fought on well to take lead nearing 200M, couldn't sustain run late faded to 5th. |
6 | 7 | HAPPY DAILY (E294) | Y L Chung | CP/TT | Pressed forward, emerged as leader from 1100M, headed nearing 200M, faded towards the line. (Jockey reminded to ride his mount out to the finish.) |
7 | 10 | SOARING BRONCO (J162) | H Bentley | -- | Caught wide no cover chasing leaders, fought hard on straightening but only maintained his position in the run home. |
8 | 8 | GIANT LEAP (J143) | A Atzeni | B1 | Moved forward from draw 1, stalked the leader from 900M, right there on straightening but couldn't go with the leaders final 200M. |
9 | 1 | LEEDOX (J154) | L Hewitson | B-/TT | Jumped awkwardly, gradually improved to a midfield spot along inside, held up from 450M-150M but the final effort was just fair. |
10 | 12 | EXCELLENT DADDY (E321) | L Ferraris | TT | Dropped back to a 3-wide position towards the rear, wide into straight, responded well and moved up to 2nd 200M, run ended soon and no extra close home. |
11 | 11 | SUPER TAICHI (J201) | E C W Wong | H/TT | Shared lead on outside, was gone passing 300M and offered little. (Jockey : intended to hold a more forward position but didn't expect to lead.) |
12 | 9 | NEVER PETER OUT (J200) | M Chadwick | B-/CP1/TT | Jumped on terms, restrained to race behind midfield, lacked a kick passing 400M, couldn't get near them in straight. |
13 | 6 | CHARITY GAIN (H431) | M L Yeung | B1/TT1 | Jumped only fairly and then from a wide draw was dropped back to the rear, under riding 500M but couldn't finish off. |
14 | 4 | LUCKY GOLD (G112) | C Y Ho | B | Given a waiting ride at the back of the field, wide into straight but failed to pick up. (Jockey: travelled well in the event but failed to respond to his riding in the home straight.) |
