1 | 9 | MY WAY (CJ203) | C Y Ho | -- | Settled with the backmakers, 3 wide with cover. Came widest over the final stages and let down strongly to claim the race with 50m to go. |
2 | 4 | GREAT RENOWN (CK359) | D Whyte | B1 | Settled a loose 2 wide with cover in fifth position. Peeled out to make its run 3 wide without cover after the 500m. Hit the front approaching the 100m, but was overhauled soon after. |
3 | 2 | GREAT GUY (CH112) | M Chadwick | TT | Raced 3 back on the fence with cover. Saved ground on the home turn and rallied to snare third. |
4 | 3 | HAPPY MASTER (CE050) | O Doleuze | CP | Stalked the leader along the paint. Had every chance but couldn’t really quicken over the final 300m. |
5 | 6 | SOLAR BOY (CL213) | H W Lai | B- | Led along the fence. Set moderate fractions and kept on fairly despite vying for leading duties after the 700m. |
6 | 5 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | K C Leung | B-/P1/H1 | Made its run from well back, after settling on the paint. Railed up turning for home and made late ground without threatening. |
7 | 12 | MIGHTY FEELING (CL025) | J Lloyd | SR/TT | Raced outside the leader during the middle stages before being crossed at racing 1 out 1 back after the 700m. Cornered five wide and showed no kick in the straight. |
8 | 11 | MACASSAR (CL382) | Y T Cheng | SR-/B | Travelled worse than midfield the fence. Attempted to improve and shifted away from the rail after the 700m. Was steadied when crowded near the 100m, but was spent force prior to that point. |
9 | 1 | SUNSEEKER (CL161) | P Strydom | B2/TT | Coursed wide in the early and middle stages whilst pursuing a prominent position. Eventually crossed and raced as joint leader passing the 800m. Was gassed in the straight. |
10 | 8 | CLASSIC ENERGY (CJ143) | Z Purton | H | Settled in 2nd last position, 1 off with cover. Kept to the inside in the final stretch but just plugged away not making any ground. |
11 | 7 | EAST OCEAN (CK340) | B Prebble | TT1 | From a wide alley was taken back after being bumped, settling at the rear. Was under pressure a long way out and failed to make any impression. |
12 | 10 | SUPER THUNDER (M078) | M Du Plessis | TT | Travelled 2 wide with cover for most of the trip behind midfield. Peeled 3 wide after the 700m, lost cover on the circle and struggled in the run home. |
