1 | 9 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | W M Lai | -- | Raced 2Ls back in 2nd at 1300 M, within 1L of the pace from 800 M to home turn, led 250 M out and all out to hold a narrow margin thereafter. |
2 | 3 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | W C Marwing | XB | Enjoyed a nice trail in 3rd on the fence through to home straight, loomed upsides winner 150 M out with every chance but could not go past. |
3 | 8 | ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) | D Whyte | -- | 4Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at halfway, challenged out 3-wide turning for home, stayed on fairly well but winning post came too soon. |
4 | 1 | NEW IDEA (CK007) | Y T Cheng | B | Led by 2Ls on fence at the 1300 M, set steady pace to hold a narrow break from the 800 M, headed at top of home straight, one-paced in response. |
5 | 12 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | C K Tong | CP | 3-back on fence in 5th or 6th about 4Ls from the lead through to final bend, recovered some late ground but never loomed a genuine threat. |
6 | 5 | EVER KING (CE147) | D Beadman | V/TT | Over-raced at the 1000 M around midfield in 2-wide position, 6Ls back in 7th off last curve, retrieved some minor late headway. |
7 | 6 | MAGIC TURBO (CJ098) | B Doyle | SR | One from rear or 10th at least 6Ls from the pace until halfway, not suited by slow tempo, 3-wide with cover in places, no impression in final quarter. |
8 | 11 | EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) | K L Chui | B/TT | Suited by even tempo in 3rd or 4th initially, under pressure to retain this proximity at the 500 M, surrendered very meekly, poor run. |
9 | 7 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | C W Wong | B/TT | 4-back on the rails worse than midfield at least 6Ls from the speed through to home straight, not suited by the tempo and no danger. |
10 | 4 | CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) | B Prebble | B/TT | Dwelt at the start losing at least 4Ls immediately on main body of field, always rearward behind slow tempo, never landed a blow. |
11 | 10 | SIR LAGO (CH268) | M L Yeung | B | Dwelt at the start losing at least 4Ls immediately on main body of field, niggled along at halfway in rear, always at least 6Ls from the front. |
12 | 2 | FLORAL PICASSO (CJ225) | H W Lai | B/TT | Over-raced when 3-wide no cover and rearward at least 6Ls from the pace through first half, never likely to figure thereafter. (Tactic questioned.) |
