1 | 6 | INDUSTRIAL MARVEL (CG188) | C W Wong | -- | Best away and led on fence by 1L at the 1400 M, set an even tempo and held the same break throughout, responded well to pressure in latter stages to score. |
2 | 11 | KING HESPERUS (CE151) | M Nunes | B/TT | Enjoyed the run of the race in 4th about 2Ls off pace through to home turn, ran on well for 2nd but always held by the winner. |
3 | 13 | DANESIS (CH194) | K L Chui | TT | Couldn't get a soft lead this time, raced 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd from 1200 M to home turn, had every chance to at least figure in the quinella but no extra final 200 M. |
4 | 1 | AMPLE GAINS (CE021) | D Whyte | B/TT | Caught 4-wide no cover from first bend and out on a limb for most of backstretch, 3Ls back in 5th at halfway, improved on the circle and held every chance of a place but tired final 150 M. |
5 | 4 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | Z Purton | PC/TT | 4-back on fence about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace in midfield from 1200 M to final turn, briefly loomed a place chance at the 300 M but couldn't follow through. |
6 | 3 | LUCKY CHAMPION (CD178) | O Doleuze | -- | Messy start, 3-back on fence about 3Ls from the front in midfield until home turn, outpaced by principals. |
7 | 9 | COURAGEOUSHEART (CD202) | D Beadman | B/TT | In rear group with cover about 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, not much closer on straightening, plugged on home one-paced. |
8 | 5 | SUPER WONGCHOY (CB318) | C K Tong | -- | Worse than midfield on the fence about 7Ls off pace at the 1200 M, tight for room from final turn to the 200 M when about 6Ls back, steadied again soon after, never got into it. |
9 | 8 | BRILLIANT ONE (CG212) | F Coetzee | -- | 3-wide with cover when worse than midfield about 5Ls off early pace, ridden along to get a little closer taking final turn but soon outpaced. |
10 | 7 | FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) | K Shea | SR-/XB1/TT | 3-wide no cover early on but recovered to find a nice spot 2-wide and 3Ls off pace from halfway to find corner, didn't find anything under pressure. |
11 | 10 | EASY GAME (CC346) | S Dye | P2 | Switched from wide gate to fence and 10Ls last at the 1400 M, still 7Ls last off home turn, made no impression. |
12 | 14 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | S K Sit | -- | Handy position 2-wide and 3Ls off pace in 4th at the 1200 M, steadily lost his position and under pressure towards rear turning for home, very weak performance. |
13 | 2 | WADADELIGHT (CC340) | B Prebble | B | Left in a wide position without cover for majority of race, 5Ls back in midfield at the 1000 M, 4-wide no cover from the 600 M and widest on straightening when 5Ls off speed, fizzled out. |
14 | 12 | CARE FREE PRINCE (CD333) | Y T Cheng | B | Caught 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, up with the early pace and 2Ls down in 3rd at halfway, all out to maintain this proximity into home straight and dropped away quickly. |
