1 | 11 | FOREVER FORTUNE (CG145) | E Saint-Martin | B | Average to begin, ridden up to take spot in front of midfield, raced 3Ls back on rails having easy time, niggled along to make run between horses turning in, charged into clear at 200 M and drew away late for an easy win. |
2 | 2 | ABLE STANDARD (CG043) | D Whyte | B/TT | Bounced out from wide alley, restrained to midfield when unable to cross, raced 2 wide 3Ls back, had good trail to bend outside eventual winner, chimed in at 300 M and took over, hung in when run ended at 100 M and couldn't hold on. |
3 | 10 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | D Nikolic | -- | Began with line, didn't posses early toe, raced behind midfield 6Ls off pace, not pressured in middle stages, eased to middle of track on turning, made up plenty of ground in straight to be nearest on line. |
4 | 14 | MIRACULOUS (CE115) | F Coetzee | -- | Jumped well, not enough dash to take up usual role in front, raced in coverted 1 out 1 back spot in mid-section, tracked nicely and close enough on bend, threatened with strong run at 300 M but just lacked turn of foot late. |
5 | 4 | DEERFIELD (CG038) | A Delpech | -- | Away with rest, allowed to relax in a midfield role from a wide gate, raced 2 wide 5Ls back in middle stages, switched out on turning in, produced one paced an effort in straight but kept coming to be closest on line. |
6 | 6 | HAPPY FIT (CH084) | K L Chui | XB/TT1 | Slowly into stride, chased hard to settle in midfield on rails, 5 to 6Ls off pace having easy time throughout, pushed along when under pressure on turning, responded at 200 M and began to close off nicely doing best work late. |
7 | 3 | DANEMAN HILL (CD374) | B Prebble | P2/TT | Awkwardly away, mustered to hold a midfield spot on fence 4Ls from leaders, had relatively quiet time throughout, saved ground on bend and made run between runners, made some ground but never really threatened. |
7 | 8 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | Y T Cheng | -- | Away with line, didn't possess early speed and took spot near rear, raced 2 wide 8Ls of pace, hung throughout and was pushed along entering straight, switched out and made some impression late but needed the experience. |
9 | 7 | RAMPANT LION (CH068) | A Starke | -- | Tardy to begin, niggled along to take close order, raced in rearward division on rails 8Ls away, well back to turn, kept to inside in the straight and kept coming to pass some tired runners late. Still green. |
10 | 9 | MYTHIC STEED (CD208) | M W Leung | B/H | Slow getaway, pushed along to stay with them from the outset, raced at tail 12Ls from pace, never really travelling and had field to beat on turning, made little in road in home stretch passing some weakening runners. |
11 | 13 | BUDDIES POWER (CB201) | M Nunes | B/TT | Out with them, showed some early speed to hold a prominent spot, had run of race behind leader (speed on), still there close enough to turn, began to struggle when they sprinted and had only one pace to offer in run to line. |
12 | 12 | TIME SUPERB (CH038) | G Mosse | SR1 | Began with line but elected to drop out from wide alley, raced next to last 10Ls from pace, not asked in mid-section, pushed along on turning, offered little when asked and simply plugged home last 300 M. |
13 | 1 | WINE WIN (CG018) | H W Lai | TT | First to hit ground, pressed on from a wide alley to race outside the leader, kept speed on at leaders' girth when refusing to settle, hit lead turning for home, run came to an end at 200 M and dropped out tamely. (Mucopus.) |
14 | 5 | FAST WINNER (CG140) | O Doleuze | -- | Began well, hard ridden to challenge for front, took up running and kept rolling at good speed with pressure from outside horse, niggled along on turning, folded tamely at 200 M and weakened out badly late. |
