1 | 6 | FAMOUS DANCER (CD353) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Standard getaway, took up expected role near rear, raced 2-wide 6Ls from them, had a quiet run in mid-section but no helped by racing pattern, 3-wide passing Rock, accelerated hard down outside to claim them late. |
2 | 8 | NILOMETER (CD052) | K L Chui | TT | Bounced out well, took up a prominent role outside leader, had cover for a time but eventually held spot 1-2Ls back facing breeze, close enough on bend, gradually wore down leader to hit front but collared right on line. |
3 | 3 | SATURN (CD154) | Y T Cheng | TT2 | Slowly into stride, mustered to push forward in search of front, applied pressure and took up running by midpoint, kept pace genuine despite doing share of work, lead turning and held on to 100 M before going down in 3 way go. |
4 | 10 | FRUITY FRUITY (CD061) | O Doleuze | B | Shade tardy to begin, ended up on rearward division on rails 5Ls back, had a quiet trip in mid-section with reasonable speed on, still back behind horses turning, closed of nicely when clear last 200 M. |
5 | 12 | LIBERAL'S CHOICE (CC345) | A Delpech | -- | Fastest into stride, lead comfortably by post first time, handed up at midpoint and had run of race thereafter, close enough on circle, didn't quicken with them and just closed at same speed in straight. |
6 | 11 | GOLDEN SUN (CD386) | W M Lai | SR/V | Even break, ridden along to hold a position in midfield on rails, had a quiet time in mid-section 4Ls off speed, back behind horses leaving bend, kept closing without a great deal of room last 100 M, even effort. |
7 | 2 | HAIL THE STORM (CE125) | S Dye | -- | Restrained from outset, took up spot at rear 8Ls off pace on rails, lobbed along at tail throughout, aided by tempo but track condition against, still well back turning, closed nicely last 200 M (tight 100 M) to be closest on line. |
8 | 1 | BEETHOVEN (CC133) | K T Yeung | -- | Fair to begin, slotted in nicely to 1 out 1 back 3Ls behind speed, had a dream trip in mid-section, used little on bend, urged along turning in, had chance but failed to go on when run ended at 150 M. |
9 | 9 | SOUNDS BEST (CE255) | D Whyte | TT | Average beginning, assumed expected role behind midfield, raced 2-wide between horses 4Ls back, still in traffic turning and no real work to 150 M, closed at one pace when race was over. |
10 | 4 | AGILITY (CC361) | G Mosse | XB | Moderate jump, restrained from a wide draw, posted 3-wide in midfield with cover 4Ls back, did share of work covering ground, pushed along approaching bend, switched out but just finished at one pace. |
11 | 7 | HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) | F Coetzee | V | Out with rest, showed enough dash to hold a forward spot 2-3Ls back on rails, travelled comfortably and not forced to do any extra work, niggled on bend, kept to fence but found little in straight just battling to line. |
12 | 5 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | C W Wong | -- | Reasonable break, pushed on in search of closer spot, posted 3-wide without cover 2-3Ls back, always doing it tough to stay there, under pressure on bend, weakened out last 200 M after a hard run. |
