1 | 11 | THE WORLD OF LOVE (CC066) | O Doleuze | CP-/B2 | Eased at start and crossed the fence behind the field quickly, then hard ridden back in midfield, 3Ls off the leaders, helped by the rail-run but not suited by the slow pace, dashed well 200 M to score. |
2 | 8 | MR COOL (CD071) | K L Chui | B/TT | Hard ridden to hold the box seat, favoured by the slow tempo as well as the rail-run, closed the race off nicely, led 250 M, hung on until 50 M when overhauled, beaten by a neck in 2nd. |
3 | 1 | ELEGANT KING PRAWN (CE265) | D Beadman | -- | Eased back but still trapped 4-wide at 1st bend, 7Ls behind the leader, harmed by the slow pace, made the move 3-wide rounding the home bend, dashed strongly 250 M to finish a remarkable 3rd. |
4 | 7 | AMO (CB125) | A Delpech | -- | Eased at start to cross to the rails towards the rear, 7-1/2Ls off the leaders, not suited by the slow pace, dashed strongly 200 M in between runners to make frame. |
5 | 9 | SPEED FIGHTER (CD355) | H W Lai | B | Pushed early for a prominent spot, then soon took hold to sit 2Ls off the leaders and as a consequence raced keenly, 2-wide throughout, helped by the slow tempo, however just held ground in straight. |
6 | 10 | KINGS CROSS (CG124) | B Prebble | -- | Eased to sit about midfield, trapped 5-wide at 1st bend then crossed to 2-wide, 3Ls behind the leaders, harmed by the slow pace, stayed flat until 200 M before showing some dash and making ground. |
7 | 3 | WINE WIN (CG018) | K T Yeung | B | Hard ridden to take the rail and led by half a length at advantageous slow early sectionals, hung on until 250 M overhauled and weakened steadily. |
8 | 6 | HAR HAR CHARMS (CE100) | D Whyte | -- | Pushed early for a few strides, but soon eased to sit about midfield, 3-1/2Ls behind the leaders along the fence, not suited by the slow pace, just held ground in straight, blocked 200 M, dashed fairly when clear. |
9 | 12 | SUPREMACY (CD315) | S K Sit | B | Hard ridden to sit half a length outside the leader, favoured by the slow early sectionals, ran on ok until 200 M flattened. |
10 | 2 | PROPELLOR (CE263) | W M Lai | -- | Pushed early for a more prominent spot, however checked 1st bend and lost ground, 5-1/2Ls off the leaders behind midfield along the rails, harmed by the slow pace and blocked most straight, little dash when clear late. |
11 | 5 | TOP TOP LIGHT (CG182) | G Mosse | B/TT | Bumped start, hard ridden but then took hold to sit behind midfield, raced keenly afterwards 4-1/2Ls off the leaders, trapped 3-wide throughout and lost too much ground at bends, harmed by the tempo, didn't run on. |
12 | 4 | JUST RIGHT (CH300) | K Shea | SR | Easily joined the pace group though trapped 6-wide at 1st bend, 1-1/2Ls off the slow pace, 3-wide at home bend, dropped off quickly in straight after losing too much ground at bends. |
