1 1 MY GOAL (CJ131) Y T Cheng CP1 Made all; 2Ls clear 1400m out; still 1L clear and going well on straightening; 2Ls to the good 200m out; won readily.
2 3 AMITYSHIP (CK023) M L Yeung B/TT Tracked winner and pacesetter on fence down back straight; 2Ls back in 3rd turning for home; gave vain chase to MY GOAL but comfortably held 2nd.
3 8 ZEPHYRUS (CH285) M Chadwick B/TT 3-back on rails and 3Ls off pace at halfway; same margin back in 4th and pressured tackling last turn; kept on at same pace; just nicked 3rd.
4 9 RECORD HIGH (CK202) D Whyte CP- 2-wide in midfield 3Ls of pace in middle stages; 4Ls back at last corner; had every chance to at least get 3rd; lacked sufficient dash.
5 7 FUN RIDER (CK231) W C Marwing B Slowly away; one from rear at least 7Ls off pace; hung towards stands' rail to wrap up; best work at the finish; never nearer.
6 14 LIVERBIRD (CE055) W Pike B Worse than midfield 5Ls off pace at halfway; slightly further back off last bend; recovered some minor late ground.
7 13 SUPER BOBO (CJ116) G Cheyne B/TT 1L off pace in 3rd at halfway; lost this proximity on the circle; no real threat and one-paced in the straight.
8 11 FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) J Lloyd TT 4-back on the rails behind midfield at least 5Ls from speed before final bend; hung awkwardly with head up in the straight; never dangerous. (Tactic questioned.)
9 2 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) K W Leung V Caught 3 and 4-wide no cover before pressing on to briefly dispute speed at halfway; 2nd off last turn but soon burnt off by main players.
10 4 WONDERFUL GAINS (CK050) O Doleuze -- Raced in 11th some 6Ls or 7Ls from the speed down the back straight; niggled along to try and get closer on the circle; did not succeed.
11 5 WAIT FOR ME (CE332) B Prebble B Taken back from wide gate; 7Ls behind slow early pace; 4-wide on straightening; couldn't make an impact.
12 12 LUCKY MONEY (CE159) T H So V Slowly away; midfield and 4Ls behind early pace; further back turning for home; offered no threat whatsoever. (Tactic questioned.)
13 6 MY WAY (CJ203) G Mosse B Prominent but 3-wide no cover at first; 2Ls back in 4th or so at halfway; struggling before the home turn and petered out.
TNP 10 SUPER (CD036) J Winks SR/XB Immediately veered towards riverside rail down back straight and virtually pulled up; took no part.
