1 | 5 | CELEBRATION (CB029) | D Whyte | SR-/B2 | Travelled well with the run of the race in 3rd about 2Ls off speed from 1200 M to home turn, picked up nicely to lead at 300 M, always in command. |
2 | 12 | SUPER IDEAL (CC223) | O Doleuze | BO/XB | 4Ls back in 6th when 2-wide at 1200 M, 5th and 3-wide taking home turn, good acceleration to go 2nd over 2Ls back at 100 M but winner already out of reach. |
3 | 10 | SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) | A Delpech | B/TT | 6Ls back in 9th when 2-wide at 1200 M, 5Ls down in mid-division off final bend, ran on well late to nick 3rd on the line. |
4 | 4 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | H W Lai | B | 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1200 M, a neck down in 2nd at top of home straight, plugged on fairly well in closing stages but lost 3rd on the line. |
5 | 14 | G-ONE LEADING (CE306) | M Odendaal | -- | 3-back on fence in 5th about 4Ls off speed at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 4th entering homestretch, one-paced from then on. |
6 | 11 | BUDDIES POWER (CB201) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Led on fence by 1L at 1400 M, headed by winner about 300 M out and weakened steadily. |
7 | 2 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | W M Lai | -- | 9Ls off pace in rear at 1200 M, 8Ls back in 12th and 3-wide on straightening for home, made some minor late ground. |
8 | 6 | ALWAYS HAPPY (CE085) | Y T Cheng | B/TT2 | Close enough if good enough, 3Ls off pace in 4th at 1200 M, struggling to maintain this prominent position off final bend, tired through final 200 M. |
9 | 8 | RAIN IN SPRING (CC320) | S Dye | -- | 8Ls off speed in 11th at 1200 M, 7Ls down and still worse than midfield taking home turn, never dangerous. |
10 | 3 | CENTENNIAL SMILE (CG165) | G Mosse | -- | Never on terms, 7Ls back in 10th at 1200 M on fence, niggled at 800 M, always a respectful distance off them. |
11 | 1 | GREEN IN BLUE (CD117) | N Ryan | CP-/B2 | 4-back on fence about 6Ls behind speed in 8th at 1200 M, no better off when under pressure taking home turn, very weak in final 200 M. |
12 | 9 | NAMJONG MONEY (CG176) | S K Sit | B1 | Always 3-wide no cover, in 7th place about 5Ls behind at 1200 M, hard pressed to keep up when 4-wide (widest of all) taking home turn, dropped right out. |
13 | 13 | A PLUS FIT (CD013) | R Fradd | B | Slowly away and didn't muster any early dash, 10Ls last at 1200 M, always well behind, poor effort. |
