1 | 8 | V-CAN (BV263) | F Coetzee | -- | Niggled along early to hold rail spot amongst front runners. Shared lead 400 M out before drawing well clear 200 M out, comfortably. |
2 | 2 | ONE STEP AHEAD (BT033) | W C Marwing | B | Ridden early but soon outpaced at rear, shifted across to fence after 1000 M. Crept closer along fence to be 3-1/2Ls down on straightening, kept running on final 200 M but no threat to winner. |
3 | 4 | RUN AND WIN (CA131) | K H Ting | B2 | Always on the pace, equal lead from 400 M before having difficulty to keep up with leader after straightening. Shifted out a bit 200 M out, no extra when losing 2nd spot near the line. |
4 | 11 | ALF (BT058) | D Whyte | -- | 3Ls behind lead around midfield on fence. Improved rounding home bend to be 2Ls adrift straightening up, one paced before commencing to tire final stages. |
5 | 12 | EVER GLORY (CA199) | D Dunn | B/TT | Slowest and awkward on exiting and was well back. Crept closer on inner rounding home turn to be 5Ls down turning in, moderate late headway passing tired runners. |
6 | 7 | SENSIBLE WAY (CA175) | H K Yim | SR | Pushed forward to dispute lead in a line of 4 runners. Struggled to keep up 400 M out and dropped away steadily. |
7 | 3 | SPLENDID STAR (CA222) | C Williams | -- | Broke well and shared lead early, steadily eased to travel 3 wide in midfield 3 or 4Ls off pace 800 M out. Stayed same in straight before getting tired inside final 100 M. |
8 | 6 | SNIPPETYIYEA (CB311) | S Dye | -- | Began very awkwardly, nearly fell and lost a lot of ground. Remained last before running on a bit towards inner from 400 M passing well beaten runners. |
9 | 10 | EXPEDIENT (BT046) | S K Sit | -- | Driven to dispute lead, unable to keep up passing the 600 M and dropped right out. |
10 | 9 | BOBO DUCK (CA063) | Y T Cheng | V | Not far away early out wide, steadily eased and shifted inwards toward rear of midfield going into back stretch. Dropped back further before home bend, no impression in home straight. |
11 | 1 | KEV BUSHIDO (BV166) | M W Leung | SR | Caught very wide from difficult draw and was never on terms. Steadily dropped towards rear 900 M out, last on straightening when checked. |
12 | 5 | CERTAINTY (BV126) | G Mosse | B | Ridden to contest lead 5 or 6 wide, run ended passing 600 M and dropped away tamely. |
