1 2 POCKET MONEY (CE253) F Coetzee B Jumped well, maintained a position behind midfield 4Ls off the pace, peeled out to challenge in straight, gradually wore down the rivals inside final 300 M to get up close home. (Bled.)
2 3 SUNNY KING (CH105) D Beadman XB/H/TT Reasonable jump, drifted back to the rear trailing 5Ls to leader, used little in running, switched to outside entering home straight, made good progress despite hanging in.
3 1 DOWN TOWN (CG054) C W Wong TT Quickly into stride, rolled along the rail and led field at a steady tempo, enjoyed an uncontested lead throughout, kept on strongly in run to line and was just headed last 50 M.
4 5 GALLANT LION (CG243) O Doleuze H Eased to last on jumping, had a comfortable trip along the fence, 5Ls to make up on turning, raced tight for some distance on straightening, ran on well once cleared inside 200 M.
5 9 FLEET COMMAND (CK077) W M Lai -- Began in line, took up a prominent position on the rail not far off the leader, shifted out approaching home straight, made good headway 300 M out, kept on well to finish a close 5th.
6 4 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) C Brown CP Standard jump, taken forward to a handy position one out one back from leader, kept hanging in down the back straight, had every chance in straight, couldn't find extra gear and weakened passing 100 M.
7 8 MY CHOICE (CC283) Y T Cheng B Slightly slow out, settled in midfield 3Ls off the pace, remained there to turn, found little when asked. No impression.
8 6 MASTER POWER (CG318) G Gomez B Bounced out, restrained to maintain a position better than midfield but travelled wide and without cover, struggled when the pace quickened, gave ground from 300 M.
