1 | 6 | THUNDER VALLEY (CG074) | R Fradd | -- | Began nicely, showed good speed to be amongst first few off inside rail, contested lead throughout, fought strongly with length advantage at 200 M, kept on in good fashion to hold off late challenge. |
2 | 2 | WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) | C K Tong | TT1 | Amongst them early, took up spot just off pace on inside rail, raced 1 to 2Ls away travelling well throughout, responded well when asked at 200 M, closed hard late to go down narrowly. Good for longer. |
3 | 8 | SOUTHERN LIGHT (CB439) | A Delpech | B | Standard to begin, lacked early speed and settled in midfield, raced 2 to 3Ls away with cover off rails, tracked winner and closed steadily but wasn't able to threaten first two. |
4 | 5 | LOLLIPOP (CH006) | S Dye | H/TT | Awkward to break, regathered to be up with leaders in middle of course, 1 to 2Ls down at midpoint, responded steadily last 200 M to make frame without looking likely. |
5 | 3 | COUNTRY MAGIC (CH069) | B Prebble | TT1 | Began well, showed enough pace to race prominently, took lead at midpoint racing off fence, travelled well past 300 M, unable to find extra gear when sprint when on, finished off at same speed. |
6 | 7 | WILD ACE (CH009) | Y T Cheng | -- | Tardy to leave gates, ridden along at rear 4 to 5Ls away in early stages, shifted out to centre of track, awkward in action but got going last 200 M finishing off nicely to be closest at finish. |
7 | 1 | CONQUEROR (CE270) | H K Yim | V | Slow to begin, crowded early before setting towards rear, raced 4 to 5Ls from them pushed along in early stages, began to respond at 400 M, closed nicely between horses last 200 M to be nearest at finish. |
8 | 10 | DEMINER (CG184) | D Whyte | B- | Average to leave stalls, soon settled in midfield on inside rail raced in behind them 2Ls away throughout, crowded at 400 M when travelling well, recovered but couldn't find anything extra and was 1 paced in run to line. |
9 | 14 | WONDERFUL BOY (CD192) | C W Wong | V/TT | Began reasonably, raced well off rails in midfield, positioned 4Ls back throughout, began to struggle at 400 M, didn't find over concluding stages plugging away to line. |
10 | 13 | WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) | W M Lai | B/TT | Out well, showed some speed to race 1L off them in middle of track, moved up to share lead at 400 M, began to struggle when they sprinted, run ended at 200 M and battled to line. |
11 | 11 | HEALTHY FRUITS (CC193) | H W Lai | TT | Fair to jump, raced on inside rail behind speed, was 2 to 3Ls down to midpoint, hard pressed to keep touch at 400 M, gradually weakened out over concluding stages. Never looked likely. |
12 | 4 | K-JACK (CG233) | F Coetzee | -- | Bounced with rest, raced just behind them 2Ls away amongst horses, drifted to midfield when inconvenienced at 400 M, didn't really find and weakened out of it last furlong. Inexperienced. |
13 | 9 | TREASURE PLANET (CG117) | M Nunes | SR-/H-/PC1/TT | Fast to begin, lead them early on inside, held narrow advantage at midpoint, began to feel pressure at 400 M, weakened soon after and gave ground quickly to be well beaten. (Mucopus.) |
