1 | 10 | GRAND DRAGON (CK064) | O Doleuze | -- | Raced 3-wide with cover close to midfield. Peeled to the outside early in the run home and once balanced sprinted strongly to finish over the top of its rivals. |
2 | 9 | GO LUCKY GO (CJ320) | Y T Cheng | -- | Bounded in the air at the start and lost ground settling 3 to 4-wide without cover behind midfield. Ran on strongly in the straight despite hanging in and bumping another runner near the furlong. |
3 | 6 | BLINK AGAIN (CK011) | W C Marwing | -- | Travelled midfield on the fence. Took runs through the field in the straight and battled away soundly. |
4 | 1 | MOON CHASER (CK013) | D Whyte | -- | Camped on the back of the speed from a wide stall, 1 out 1 back early before settling 3Ls off the pace. Peaked on run in the closing stages. |
5 | 3 | MEGABUCKS (CJ301) | B Doyle | SR | Led early before being crossed near the 800 M, then shifted to the 1 out line soon after. Was in front by the 200 M, however was claimed in the run to the wire. |
6 | 13 | MY MELODY (CJ157) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Was ridden along to obtain a forward position from an inside draw eventually settling 3 back the fence. Had no excuses. |
7 | 5 | MY WAY (CJ203) | Z Purton | B | From the outside gate was able to slot in to be 2 to 3-wide with cover behind the speed. Was in contention at the 200 M, but weakened over the concluding stages. |
8 | 11 | MIGHTY WINNER (CJ303) | E Saint-Martin | TT1 | Lost ground at the start when bumped, settling at the rear 4-wide no cover. Finished off gamely. |
9 | 2 | STAREILLY (CJ083) | J Victoire | TT | Slow to begin and raced with the back markers 2-3 deep with cover. Made some ground in the straight before ending its run before the post. |
10 | 14 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | M Chadwick | SR/V | Worked forward and crossed to the lead near the 800 M. Hung out in the middle stages and faded in the run home. |
11 | 8 | GIANT BLIZZARD (CJ171) | M Du Plessis | -- | Jumped awkwardly and for the major part of the event raced greenly behind midfield along the fence. Kept to the inside in the straight but failed to run on. |
12 | 7 | COVER BOY (CK021) | H W Lai | SR1 | Settled on the fence towards the back of the field. Plugged away in the run home. |
13 | 4 | COOL CAT (CH330) | M W Leung | XB-/CP/TT- | Settled with the rear division 3 deep with cover. Had to be steadied on the home turn but was never a threat. |
14 | 12 | ODE TO JOY (CJ298) | K T Yeung | B | Began awkwardly and took up a position towards the tail of the field, 2 deep with cover. Never likely. |
