1 | 5 | EVERGREEN (CE106) | W M Lai | B | Enjoyed a cushy trail on the back of the handy tempo in 3rd on the rails until the last bend, led about 150 M out and did just enough to secure the win. |
2 | 4 | MAVERICK (CE199) | K C Leung | V/TT | Always handily placed, just over 2Ls back in 4th at halfway, 3Ls down off last bend, had every chance inside the final furlong, just held by the winner. |
3 | 10 | CLOVIS (CH044) | D Whyte | B/XB/H | 5Ls back in 9th at halfway, peeled out widest of all (6-wide) to challenge turning in, briefly loomed a winning chance 150 M out, did enough to place. |
4 | 7 | DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) | C W Wong | SR | Led on fence by 2Ls passing post for the first time, maintained the lead before being headed 150 M out, tipped out of a place close home. |
5 | 6 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | J Winks | V | Slowly away, 4-back on rails between 4Ls and 5Ls off pace through first half, held up 250 M out, nearest at the finish but never likely to place. |
6 | 11 | STAR OF CHIU TON (CJ175) | B Doyle | -- | 8Ls last on rails passing winning post for the first time, 5Ls back in 9th turning in, finished off fairly well, nearest at finish, much improved effort. |
7 | 8 | HAPPY ALL AROUND (CD248) | M Chadwick | TT | 3-back the rails when 4Ls back in 5th at the 1000 M and similarly placed off last bend, didn't have much room around the 200 M, held close home. |
8 | 9 | ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Midfield and 4Ls back 3-wide with cover at halfway, left without cover on the circle, launched a brief bid at top of home straight but run peaked 200 M out. |
9 | 12 | COOL RUNNINGS (CK014) | M Du Plessis | B- | 2-wide in rear about 7Ls off steady early pace, same turning for home, always outpaced by the principals. |
10 | 3 | WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) | Y T Cheng | SR/V | Close-up but trapped 3-wide no cover from wide gate through first half, 1L back in 2nd and pressured to lie up 500 M out, retreated steadily. |
11 | 2 | SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) | J Lloyd | B | Always rearward and 3-wide sometimes without cover, not suited by the tempo and never at all likely to land a blow. |
12 | 1 | LUCKY MONEY (CE159) | M W Leung | -- | Midfield at the 1200 M, never really travelling well and beaten before the home turn, to trial. |
