1 8 MIGHTY SUN (CK058) K W Leung B Standard jump, caught 3 wide in midfield 5 to 6Ls back, did it tough without cover, kept improving turning in, joined in at 250 M, kept on under riding to prevail.
2 3 NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) B Doyle B Bounced out, assumed ideal spot on leaders back, had run of race in mid-section, right there turning, went head to head with winner final 200 M going down narrowly.
3 9 GOLDEN TREASURE (CJ087) W Pike -- Prominent from outset, sat behind pace 1 out 1 back, good run to bend, improved 3 wide entering straight, no match for first two but battled gamely all the same.
4 12 ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) M L Yeung B Even jump, raced 3 to 4Ls back on rails, used nothing in middle stages, saved ground on bend, stayed on nicely to make frame.

11 6 LOCAL POWER (CH296) W M Lai -- Lacked usual speed, assumed a midfield trail 5Ls from speed, reasonable run to turn, niggled soon after turning, poor in finish.
12 14 TELECOM SUPER STAR (CK386) K L Chui B Fairly away, midfield or worse 6Ls from lead, used little and saved ground on rails throughout, no response.
