1 | 12 | YOUNG HERO (CH071) | W M Lai | CP | Pushed forward to occupy a one-off position 4Ls off pace, travelled nicely under the strong tempo, niggled along rounding bend, dashed well final 250 M, fought hard and took the lead just before the line. |
2 | 1 | PACKING BUDDY (CK264) | T H So | V | Jumped well and mustered fast to lead 2Ls, quickened 400 M out, kept on well under maximum pressure in the home straight, headed in by the winner in the last few strides. |
3 | 6 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | G Mosse | TT | Sat cozily in a fence position in the midfield, suited by the strong tempo, made up ground steadily down centre of home straight, just did enough to take a dead-heat 3rd. |
3 | 7 | SUPER GENKI (CH195) | M Chadwick | TT | Lacked early speed as usual and travelled over 10Ls off the speed, crept closer rounding bend, swung widest for home, fought hard in the straight for a dead-heat 3rd. (Lost right front plate.) |
5 | 3 | GOLDEN TREASURE (CJ087) | J Lloyd | -- | Jumped fast, sat prominently in a fence position 4 to 5Ls off pace, obtained clear run soon after entering the home straight, kept on fairly, never likely for a place. |
6 | 10 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | Y T Cheng | B- | Broke well, easily ran up to get across in the front and sat just behind the leader, struggled rounding bend, kept fighting in home straight but could not find extra to challenge the principals. |
7 | 9 | GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) | H W Lai | B-/XB/TT- | Jumped fairly from gate 12, niggled along to sit in the one out one back spot, hung out throughout the trip, struggled turning for home, only one-paced in straight. |
8 | 2 | WINNING REWARD (CE254) | D Whyte | B | Slow to begin, urged along to catch up 8Ls off the pace on rails, made up some ground along the inner early in straight, not properly clear in concluding stages, not fully tested. |
9 | 4 | JUGGERNAUT (CJ019) | J Victoire | TT | Started awkwardly, ended up in a 2-wide position 8 to 9Ls off the speed, shifted wide for home, gave very limited response when asked for efforts in the straight. |
10 | 5 | QUELLE SURPRISE (CL008) | W C Marwing | -- | Broke well from the wide draw, urged along and soon found the fence just off the pace, held ground until got tired near 150 M. |
11 | 8 | MASTER DRAGON (CL137) | G Cheyne | H | Crowded start, driven to hold a 2-wide position 5 to 6Ls off the pace, struggled rounding bend, failed to make up any ground in home straight. |
12 | 11 | GALLANT GALLOP (CL080) | Z Purton | B/TT | Always rearward, never competitive. |
