1 1 SUPER FRESH (N194) W C Marwing P-/B1 Speared forward from the outside alley, crossed and led along the paint after the 800m. Made every post a winner thereafter recording a sound win.
2 4 GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) Z Purton B Parked in 2nd position outside the leader, no cover. Ranged up at the furlong and fought gamely but was out gunned over the final stages.
3 3 FLASHING GUY (CL158) A Suborics CP/TT Raced on the speed but was trapped 3 wide without cover for most of the trip. Loomed up near the 200m but faded over the final stages.
4 10 SECRET OF WINNING (CK205) K C Ng B-/H-/TT- Couldn't go the early speed of the race, camped midfield. Was inclined to race a little keenly near the 600m, closed of moderately to make the frame.
5 9 CHINA GOOD (CL258) H W Lai SR Jumped well then was steadied and parked behind midfield 2 deep with cover. Got a nice cart into the race and finished off fairly.
6 6 AMBASSADORSHIP (N217) C K Tong H Crowded at the start & raced in last position along the fence. Kept to the inside turning for home but only plodded to the wire.
7 7 FORTUNE TERRITORY (N272) M L Yeung B/TT Slow to begin & travelled at the rear of the field, 2-3 deep with cover. Was one paced in the home straight.
8 5 SOUTHCHINA CENTURY (N285) C Y Ho -- Enjoyed a nice run in the race tracking the early speed on the rails. Failed to find any extra in the run home.
9 8 HEARTLAND (M332) B Prebble B2 Ridden along early but only managed to take up a position ahead of midfield. Settled 4 wide early no cover, got a trailing position after the 500m, but was a spent force early in the straight.
10 2 FRIENDS OF YAN OI (M406) O Doleuze TT Not the best away then had no luck and was trapped at least 4 deep on the circle, travelling towards the rear. Was running on empty over the final 100m. Post-race examination showed a substantial amount of mucopus in the trachea.
11 11 TAKE THE RAP (CL369) W M Lai SR/TT Never likely after being posted back in the field 4-5 wide without cover for most of the trip.
