1 | 4 | SPECIAL DRAGON (CH325) | M Chadwick | TT | First to hit ground, took up running easily, rolled along with speed to suit, still held advantage leaving bend, defied rivals in straight finding plenty under pressure to score another handy win. |
2 | 10 | MASTER ELITE (CJ210) | Z Purton | -- | Began in line, took a midfield spot racing 6Ls away in 2 wide line, travelled well to bend, into clear on turning, made good progress final 300 M but just failed to overhaul winner. |
3 | 6 | ICHIBAN (CJ050) | D Whyte | -- | Even getaway, positioned behind speed 4 to 5Ls away on fence, enjoyed a quiet run in mid-section, saved ground to bend, closed nicely in straight to go down in a 3 way go. |
4 | 11 | VICTORY STYLE (CG120) | B Prebble | -- | Began with more purpose, pressed on to race outside leader, two wide no cover to bend, still there turning, stuck to task in stretch and battled away evenly to make frame. |
5 | 5 | VICTORY TREASURE (CE031) | G Mosse | TT | Jumped nicely, tucked in behind first few in a 1 out 1 back spot, had a fair run thereafter, unable to sprint on turning but held ground creditably final 300 M. |
6 | 12 | GREAT SHOW (CK001) | P H Lo | B | Amongst first few to break, positioned well behind leader, raced 2Ls back throughout, same margin down turning, didn't have extra gear and just peaked on run at 200 M. |
7 | 13 | NOBLE HEART (CC355) | K L Chui | B/TT | Poor beginning, recovered to race 7Ls back on fence, took short cuts throughout, still behind midfield turning, made some minor progress without threatening. |
8 | 1 | BLESSING (CJ337) | Y T Cheng | -- | Out in line, unable to slot in and ended up 3 wide 6Ls away, had cover in middle stages, ridden along to improve turning, made a little ground before run ended at 200 M. |
9 | 9 | DASH AHEAD (CD199) | H W Lai | SR | No pace as usual, ended up 9Ls away on rails, always back with last few, set too much to do turning for home, made some minor ground to 200 M before petrol ran out. |
10 | 7 | MONTE CRISTO (CH120) | O Doleuze | B | Taken back from a wide gate, raced at tail 10Ls off speed, set a big task from midpoint, still last turning, lacked usual close and made only minor progress. (Jockey reported not striding out.) |
11 | 14 | LUCKY CHAMPION (CD178) | K T Yeung | -- | Out with rest, ended up racing 3 wide at rear 9 to 10Ls from top end, always in last few, passed only beaten runners in straight. |
12 | 2 | ROYAL PEGASUS (CK103) | M Du Plessis | SR/H | Began in line, drifted back to race 6Ls away in running line, had a fair run to bend, set a task turning, just battled and weakened inside 250 M. |
13 | 3 | PRINCE KALAMOUN (CK178) | J Victoire | -- | Standard jump, posted 3 wide without cover 5Ls away, did plenty of work in run, bumped at 600 M, struggled turning and faded right out. |
