1 | 6 | EXCELLENT BOY (CE238) | D Dunn | -- | Did well to cross to fence from wide gate at 1400 M, always travelled kindly 3-back in 6th about 3Ls off speed, picked up nicely to lead 150 M out, drew clear. |
2 | 8 | EYE WITNESS (CG027) | F Coetzee | TT | Niggled along early on in 11th when 8Ls off pace, some headway to be 4Ls back in 9th turning for home, no chance with winner but stayed on best of the rest to take 2nd inside final 50 M. |
3 | 4 | ELEGANT KING PRAWN (CE265) | C W Wong | -- | Soon led on fence, always about 1L clear until home turn, headed by winner 150 M out and lost out on 2nd place final 50 M. |
4 | 9 | DANEHILL WARRIOR (CB452) | H W Lai | B/TT | Tended to over-race early, mostly close up in or around 5th about 2Ls off speed and 2-wide, had every hope to place but was too one-paced. (See Racing Incidents.) |
5 | 10 | ROCKET WIN (CE249) | W C Marwing | SR/TT | Squeezed at start, in rear bunch between 5Ls and 7Ls off speed until home turn, made some minor late ground past tiring rivals. |
6 | 3 | RELY ON ME (CE068) | D Whyte | -- | Ideally placed on fence 2Ls back in 3rd until homestretch, a neck down in 3rd at 200 M, effort petered out tamely inside final 100 M. |
7 | 5 | EVERGREEN (CE106) | W M Lai | TT | 6Ls behind leader when 2-wide in 9th at 1100 M, 4Ls down in 8th taking home turn, always looked held. |
8 | 12 | FLYING KENNY (CC244) | M W Leung | V | No speed early on, 5Ls back in 8th on fence at 1100 M, 3Ls down and struggling to make an impact with 300 M to go, one-paced. |
9 | 1 | ABLE KNIGHT (CE079) | E Saint-Martin | H/TT | Caught 3-wide no cover when 2Ls down in 3rd or so at 1200 M, no cover throughout but still close up turning for home, faded out in the straight. |
10 | 2 | CIRCUIT KINGDOM (CB046) | B Prebble | -- | 3Ls down in 7th at 1100 M when 2-wide, closer taking home turn, very one-paced inside final 200 M. |
11 | 11 | SUPER BALL (CD064) | K L Chui | B | Always struggling in rear, 10Ls last at 1200 M, never a factor. |
12 | 7 | MR COOL (CD071) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Crossed from wide gate to be 1L down in 2nd out 2-wide, same position taking final turn, dropped out very sharply. (See Racing Incidents.) |
