1 | 5 | BILLION (CH316) | Y T Cheng | -- | Caught 4-wide no cover early on, pressed on to lead out 2-wide by about 1L from 800 M to stretch, joined by runner-up 50 M out, rallied again to get up final strides. |
2 | 1 | FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) | D Whyte | B2 | Led by 1L on fence at 1000 M, headed by winner from 800 M to home turn, got upsides 50 M out but couldn't follow through to score. |
3 | 2 | RED RULER (CH198) | C W Wong | CP | Held a nice position on the fence in 4th or so between 2Ls off the pace until the last bend, given every chance to fill quinella but was too one-paced. |
4 | 12 | JUGGERNAUT (CJ019) | G Boss | SR | Keen early on, 2-wide around midfield 4Ls from the pace through to the 600 M, ran on okay but lacked the dash to fill a place. |
5 | 3 | BAAZIGAR (CG171) | Z Purton | B1 | Awkwardly away, very keen down backstretch on fence when 5Ls behind, only a little closer turning in, one-paced thereafter. (Bled.) |
6 | 10 | LITTLE BIG BOY (CJ012) | F Coetzee | TT | Prominently placed but niggled along to remain in touch at halfway when 2Ls back in 5th, failed to get any closer in the stretch. |
7 | 4 | MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) | D Beadman | H-/XB | Went back from a wide gate, 8Ls behind and one from rear at halfway, made some minor late ground past tired rivals. |
8 | 7 | DASH (CG236) | W M Lai | B | 3-back on fence about 4Ls down in midfield until halfway, edged wider on straightening, gave vain pursuit of the leaders. |
9 | 14 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | H W Lai | TT | Left 3-wide no cover at 800 M when 2Ls back in 3rd and same turning for home, run peaked by the 200 M and eased down late when beaten. |
10 | 9 | HELENE ELITE (CJ093) | K L Chui | XB/TT | Slowest away, towards rear and 2-wide about 7Ls from early tempo, never likely to improve better than midfield. |
11 | 8 | GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) | B Prebble | -- | 5Ls back in 9th at the 800 M, struggling to lie up at the 500 M, gave ground steadily from top of homestretch. |
12 | 6 | BROWN BEAR (CH125) | M Nunes | -- | Taken back from wide gate and raced about 7Ls off speed in 12th until the final bend, made zero impact. |
13 | 13 | KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) | S K Sit | B | In rear throughout, 8Ls last and struggling taking final bend, well beaten. |
14 | 11 | DELIGHTFUL WIN (CC154) | K T Yeung | TT | Caught wide early on, 4Ls behind in midfield with cover at halfway, soon lost this position and tailed out unacceptably in the stretch. |
