1 | 5 | LU YUE (CH278) | Y T Cheng | B/H | Led out 2-wide before crossing to fence 1300 M out, clear by 1L until the 200 M, found plenty for pressure and always holding a margin. |
2 | 2 | EVER BRIGHT (CG223) | B Prebble | B1 | Slowly away, 4Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at 1200 M, closer and challenging in 3rd at top of straight, couldn't get to the winner but did well to hold 2nd. |
3 | 10 | SOUTH BREEZE (CG241) | D Whyte | -- | 6Ls back on fence in 7th at 1200 M, about 4Ls down in 7th off last bend, ran on well for a place but ran out of ground in trying to figure in the quinella. |
4 | 6 | ALBERTINELLI (CH111) | M Nunes | -- | Mostly 2nd out 2-wide and 1L behind through to home straight, briefly upsides 300 M out but one-paced inside final furlong and missed the money. |
5 | 1 | FAMOUS DANCER (CD353) | D Beadman | XB/H | Slowly away, on fence back in 9th at 1000 M, 5Ls back at top of stretch when a little short of room, chased on well, never nearer. |
6 | 7 | GO JOHNNY GO (CG290) | H W Lai | B/XB | Box-seated in 3rd or 4th about 2Ls from the front from 1200 M to entering the straight, had his chance but lacked the acceleration. |
7 | 12 | MAN IN THE MIRROR (CH058) | M Du Plessis | -- | 8Ls behind in 10th out 2-wide at 1000 M, about 5Ls back swinging for home, couldn't draw any closer. |
8 | 11 | INFINITE DELIGHT (CG314) | W M Lai | B/TT | 3Ls back in 5th on fence at 1200 M, niggled along to maintain this proximity off last turn, faded out gradually. |
9 | 4 | LUCKYME (CH012) | F Coetzee | TT | Couldn't lead as usual and instead caught 3-wide no cover about 2Ls back in 3rd through to the 600 M, under pressure turning in and gave ground steadily. |
10 | 8 | NORTHERNER (CD293) | M W Leung | XB | 10Ls back in 11th on fence at 1000 M, 6Ls down in 10th and hard ridden at top of straight, made no impact and eased down late. |
11 | 3 | HAIL THE STORM (CE125) | K L Chui | B | 10Ls last out 2-wide at the 1000 M, checked 600 M out and struggling in rear turning for home, well beaten. |
PU | 9 | SOCRATES (CD336) | G Mosse | TT | 6Ls and 2-wide in 8th at 1100 M, broke down 600 M out and pulled up immediately. |
