1 | 11 | VAUGIRARD (CK347) | B Prebble | B | Bounced out, ended up behind leaders 3Ls down on settling, used little in run and travelled strongly to bend, gained a split at 300 M and sprinted quickly, driven away to win easily. |
2 | 1 | LITTLE DREAMS (CL095) | K C Leung | XB/TT | Reasonable jump, positioned behind lead group 4Ls off top end, had an easy time to bend, shifted out passing 300 M, chased gamely but no match for winner. |
3 | 4 | ALMIGHTY WINDPOWER (CL272) | M Du Plessis | -- | Away fairly, just behind midfield 5Ls or so, soft run in middle stages, kept to inside and closed gradually for a distant 3rd. |
4 | 6 | OLE OLE (CK301) | M L Yeung | -- | Began well enough, angled across into midfield 4 to 5Ls back in running line, close enough on turning, didn't dash but closed evenly to make frame. |
5 | 7 | DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) | H W Lai | -- | Settled just behind speed 4Ls from lead, enjoyed a cosy trail to bend, improved and loomed briefly at 300 M, didn't see out trip. |
6 | 13 | BOUNCER (CJ074) | C K Tong | SR/TT | No early pace, ended up back with last few, 7 to 8Ls off top end in middle stages, saved ground on circle, closed best of rest and was nearest on line despite traffic at 200 M. |
7 | 14 | ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) | G Cheyne | SR | Began OK but did some early work to end up outside leader from outside draw, even trip thereafter, niggled turning, flat final 300 M. |
8 | 5 | GREEN SUPREME (CL329) | M Chadwick | TT1 | Out in line, assumed a midfield position 6Ls back, fair run to turn, responded fairly to riding but peaked inside 300 M. |
9 | 2 | BEST FRIEND (CH240) | J Lloyd | B-/H1 | Faded back to last 10Ls from lead, on rails throughout with field to beat turning, only managed to pass tired runners in straight. |
10 | 10 | JOLLY GOOD (CL134) | O Doleuze | SR/TT1 | Lacked pace as usual, shared rear 9 to 10Ls from leaders, plenty to do turning, didn't show usual finish and plugged away in straight. |
11 | 3 | NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) | B Doyle | B | Ended up in rear division best part of 8Ls off lead, well back to turn, didn't produce a finish and struggled in straight. |
12 | 8 | BILLION (CH316) | Y T Cheng | -- | Began well, led but eventually let outside horse take over, came 2 wide on circle to sit out leaders girth, not far away turning for home, didn't find much and folded tamely. |
13 | 12 | PACKING BUDDY (CK264) | T H So | V | Showed speed to eventually work to lead, held a 1/2L advantage thereafter, challenged turning in and quickly gave in, dropped right out. |
