1 | 9 | ENCHANTED (CE065) | Z Purton | TT | Showed speed to cross and lead from outside gate, dictated terms to suit throughout, held a narrow advantage on turning, fought on too well to defy rivals in sprint to line. |
2 | 4 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | Y T Cheng | CP | Away reasonably, pressed on to race outside leader, had an easy run with steady speed, challenged principal on turning, stuck to task and went down in tight finish. |
3 | 5 | ICHIBAN (CJ050) | D Whyte | -- | Fast out, took a prominent spot on leaders back, had a fair run to bend, switched to challenge at 400 M, looked a chance to 200 M but just peaked on run last 100 M. |
4 | 3 | FEVER PITCH (CH326) | F Coetzee | H | Moderate jump, allowed to settle back with last few, not helped with steady pace on, well back on rails at 400 M, into clear at 300 M and closed late making good ground to take 4th. |
5 | 7 | STILTON (CG173) | O Doleuze | CP | Began in line, assumed a midfield role 3Ls back, aided by a soft run, improved into clear on turning, made solid progress final 300 M before condition gave out late. |
6 | 13 | SOHNA (CG183) | M Du Plessis | B | Restrained from an awkward draw, ended up at tail 8Ls back, pace against in mid-section, had job to do on bend, switched out turning, made remarkable ground down centre to be nearest on line. |
7 | 6 | CHINA WIN (CJ147) | E Saint-Martin | B | Slow into stride, ended up back on fence, 4-5Ls away, not helped by tempo, saved ground on bend, made gradual progress along inside to be nearest on line. |
8 | 10 | MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) | S K Sit | -- | Out only fairly, ended up behind midfield 5Ls or so away, raced keenly in mid-section, still in between horses on turning, made some headway last 300 M but didn't really threaten. |
9 | 1 | JADE DRAGONFLY (CE331) | K C Leung | BO/TT | Jumped with first few, unable to slot in and restrained to midfield but wide without cover, did share of work to bend, flattened at 200 M. |
10 | 2 | HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) | C K Tong | B/TT | Began with them, elected for a trail 1 out 1 back in run, had reasonable trip with steady speed, lost position approaching 500 M, moderate effort in straight. (See Racing Incidents.) |
11 | 12 | DILIGENT II (CJ211) | H W Lai | XB1 | Moderate jump, ended up in rearward position 6-7Ls back in 2-wide line, pace against throughout, well back to bend, never factored. |
12 | 8 | FLORAL PICASSO (CJ225) | W C Marwing | TT | Out in line, couldn't slot in and forced to race 3-wide towards rear 7Ls back, had cover however overraced throughout, urged along turning, didn't run on in straight. |
13 | 11 | SEA TREASURE (CD335) | K T Yeung | B | Crowded early, raced 7-8Ls back sharing rear in 2-wide line, pace against in run, last turning, didn't get closer. |
