1 | 4 | FLYING COLOURS (CJ111) | T Angland | B/XB | In mid-division, emerged with a strong challenge 200M out, in top gear final 100M to get the better of the persistent 2nd and 3rd near line. |
2 | 7 | EL ZONDA (CK132) | M Chadwick | TT | Travelled well behind midfield, ran on strongly 350M, dueled with winner from 200M, narrowly beaten. |
3 | 3 | HORSE GALORE (CL220) | Y T Cheng | B | Chased the pace, responded well as they straightened up and wore down the long-time leader near 50M, headed by first two near line. |
4 | 12 | ORIENTAL PROSPER (N100) | H W Lai | TT | Positively ridden, vied for lead on the outside, led mid-straight, one paced final 100M and was caught by first 3 inside 50M. |
5 | 9 | PAGANINI'S SOUL (CL373) | D Whyte | XB/TT | Towards the tail of the field, was stuck behind horses until 200M but stayed on well once in the clear. |
6 | 11 | HAPPY YEAH YEAH (M085) | M L Yeung | B | Awkwardly away and lost ground, was forced to settle in the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, made some progress final 350M but was left with too much to do. |
7 | 6 | ROMANTIC CITY (CL023) | C Y Ho | -- | Vied for the lead on the inside, lost lead 150M, weakened final stages. |
8 | 2 | FINAL ANSWER (CL178) | D Beadman | B-/XB/TT | Well placed along the inside just behind leaders, had every chance turning in but lacked finishing pace. |
9 | 1 | AT MOMENT IN TIME (CL211) | Z Purton | SR | From draw 12 crossed to a 2-wide position in midfield, could not quicken with the leaders inside 350M, kept on same pace final stages. |
10 | 10 | TOUCH GO (CL254) | K C Leung | -- | Always behind a midfield position on the inside, taken out to centre of track passing 400M, steadied mid-straight but was never going the pace to challenge. |
11 | 8 | GROOVY (CL401) | M Du Plessis | -- | Slow to begin, held up 3-wide behind midfield, failed to find a turn of foot when put to pressure nearing 400M. |
12 | 5 | VITAL FLYER (CK373) | B Prebble | B/TT | Dropped back to the rear, inclined to hang out from 600M and never threatened at the back. |
