1 | 2 | EXULTATION (BV223) | K H Ting | -- | Held up about 4Ls off pace and 3-wide, entered straight 4-wide, delivered challenged over 300 M out hanging markedly to the left, hit front 200 M out, idling near line but just hung on. |
2 | 5 | HALO KING PRAWN (CB124) | W C Marwing | -- | 3 and 4Ls off pace and 2-wide until home straight when travelling well, not clear run until 100 M out when about 3Ls down, accelerated impressively but just failed, unlucky loser. |
3 | 1 | COMME D'HABITUDE (CA107) | D Whyte | B/TT | At least 3-wide and 3Ls off speed until home straight, delivering challenge when steadied 300 M out, ran on evenly again and just held on for 3rd place. |
4 | 3 | LUCKY LAD (CA148) | B Marcus | B | Raced on inside 4 to 5Ls off speed, travelling well when 2Ls behind 200 M out but blocked for a run on all sides, found clear passage around 100 M out, finished off well but too late. |
5 | 13 | AUTHORISED (BP125) | S King | -- | Held up in rear 6 to 7Ls off pace and until 800 M out, gradually improved round outside until 2Ls down 200 M out, one-paced to line. |
6 | 4 | GRAND FIGHTER (CA225) | G Mosse | B | Ridden to lead after 200 M before racing 2-wide and sharing advantage with CALIFORNIA KID until straight, all out but in front when grabbed 200 M out, no extra. |
7 | 6 | SCENIC STAR (BS247) | F Coetzee | -- | Settled one from rear at least 6Ls off pace until final bend when checked 500 M out, stayed on to finish off through some beaten rivals close home. |
8 | 8 | GALLANT HORSE (CA128) | E Saint-Martin | TT1 | Never worse than 2-wide and 2 to 3Ls down throughout before home straight when failed to quicken up final 300 M. |
9 | 14 | ELECTRONIC SEEKER (BV243) | M W Leung | B | Always prominent about 2Ls off pace but 3-wide before failing to quicken up well enough at top of straight, weakened from 200 M out. |
10 | 7 | MARSHALL SPIRIT (CA016) | R Fradd | -- | Very keen early on and soon racing 2-wide about 2Ls off pace, brief effort at top of straight and all out when 1L down 200 M out, no extra. |
11 | 10 | ACE OF PACE (BV131) | K C Tsang | -- | Trapped 4-wide for much of race until straight when 2Ls off leader, not come in again in straight. |
12 | 9 | CALIFORNIA KID (CA219) | D Dunn | B/TT | Duelled for lead with GRAND FIGHTER from 1100 M out on fence until home straight, soon under strong pressure and weakened right away from 300 M out. |
13 | 12 | ASIAN EXPRESS (BS015) | S K Sit | P/TT | Awkwardly into stride, raced in 3rd or 4th place on fence 1 to 2Ls off pace before losing position 800 M out, turned in near rear of field, no chance. |
14 | 11 | INSIGHTOREALITY (CA363) | W M Lai | -- | Settled 2-wide 4Ls off speed until final bend, steadily lost place as tempo quickened, finished in own time. |
