1 | 13 | BOLD WINNER (CD141) | C Williams | SR1 | Pressed on to lead out 2-wide 1100 M out, led by 1L on fence at 900 M, 1L clear off home turn going easily, shot 2Ls clear at 200 M, stayed on well. |
2 | 1 | FLYING MACHINE (CB082) | F Coetzee | TT | 2-wide and 5Ls off the pace in 7th at 1000 M, 3-wide and still 5Ls down off home turn in midfield, into the clear 350 M out, ran on strongly but never looked like catching winner. |
3 | 2 | PALETTE NATURAL (CB284) | S Dye | -- | 2-wide and 6Ls off the speed in 11th at the 1000 M and similarly placed off home turn, 4Ls down when held up slightly at 200 M, ran on very strongly closing stages, just missed 2nd place. |
4 | 3 | SHANE (CC232) | G Mosse | -- | Slowest away, 8Ls off pace when 3-wide with cover in 12th at 1000 M, 6Ls down towards rear and 3-wide from 800 M to stretch, staying on well when 3Ls down in 4th at 200 M, no extra final 100 M. |
5 | 8 | THE ACHIEVER (CB347) | R Fradd | TT | On fence 6Ls off the pace in 9th at the 1000 M, 5Ls down at 800 M, 2-wide and 4Ls down in 8th entering straight, held up for a run from 300 M and clear at 200 M, ran on fairly but too late. |
6 | 14 | KING OF FISH (CB105) | C K Tong | V/H1 | 2-wide and 1.5Ls off pace in 3rd at 1000 M, 1L down in 2nd off home bend, still 2nd but over 2Ls down at 200 M when only staying at the same pace, lost further ground close home. |
7 | 6 | MAGIC MAIL (CD095) | K McEvoy | -- | On fence 4Ls off pace in 6th at 1000 M, 3Ls down in 5th at 800 M and entering home straight, never threatened staying on at the one pace to line. |
8 | 7 | KINGFIELD (CD215) | D Boeuf | -- | 4-wide without cover at 1000 M when 3Ls off pace in 5th, 3-wide and 3Ls off pace in 6th at 800 M, 4-wide into home straight and still 3Ls off pace in midfield, same at 200 M, faded a bit close home. |
9 | 10 | AFRICAN FOREST (CD174) | D Whyte | SR | Slowly away, on fence 5Ls off the pace in 8th at 1000 M, still on inner and 3Ls down in midfield entering straight, weakened steadily from 300 M out. |
10 | 9 | AMBITIOUS TYCOON (CB157) | Y T Cheng | -- | 3-wide without cover and 2Ls behind leader at 1000 M, gained some cover 800 M out but 3-wide again within 2Ls of pace in 4th into home straight, well outpaced from 300 M out. |
11 | 11 | VICTORY MARBLE (BV275) | K C Tsang | -- | Led very early on but headed by winner 1100 M out, 1L off speed on fence in 3rd from the 900 M until home straight, found very little off the bridle and beaten over 300 M out. |
12 | 5 | DENDRANTHEMA LOVE (CD073) | W Smith | -- | Bumped and crowded at start, 3-wide with cover and 5Ls or 6Ls off pace in 10th from 1000 M to home straight, comprehensively outpaced thereafter. |
13 | 12 | WINFIELD (CD157) | W M Lai | -- | Slowly away, on fence about 8Ls off the speed when one from rear at 1000 M, 8Ls behind leader off home turn, never a factor. |
14 | 4 | EXPECTATIONS (CD078) | M W Leung | -- | Bumped and crowded at start, at least 12Ls last at 1000 M, took his time to finish. (Lame.) |
