1 | 7 | PLEASURE GAINS (P246) | Z Purton | -- | Broke well from inside draw, restrained to a spot behind midfield 3-4Ls off the pace, got held up on the inside until 200M, quickened up strongly to get up last stride. |
2 | 12 | BULLISH BOY (P008) | M L Yeung | TT | Settled just off the pace in the first half, moved up to the lead 750M, responded well in straight, about 1.5L up passing 100M, got nailed last stride. |
3 | 8 | ALBICELESTE (P273) | U Rispoli | CP/H/SR/TT | Taken back from wide draw, settled in last 6-7Ls off the pace, held up for clear run turning home, forced his way out inside 250M, closed off well to claim 3rd. |
4 | 9 | CHATER DREAM (P117) | K Teetan | -- | Made some use early to clear the field, led 1300M to 750M, all out on straightening but lacked further response, kept on same pace to hold 4th about 2-3Ls adrift of the first 3. |
5 | 11 | SICHUAN CHARM (P409) | T Angland | P/TT | Soon obtained a spot by the rail, never far away from leaders, held up for clear running 400M-300M, went 3rd 200M and briefly loomed a threat, run ended near 100M and faded. |
6 | 2 | FUN RIDER (CK231) | A Suborics | CP2 | Dropped back and soon taken across to the fence, settled near the rear 6Ls off the pace, shifted out for clear run early straight, made limited progress only. |
7 | 1 | PERFECT CHEERS (M341) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Always in touch, 2Ls off leader passing 400M and appeared to be going well, not quickened under pressure however, weakened out of contention 150M. |
8 | 4 | VICTORY MASTER (M148) | N Callan | B/XB | Fractious in stalls, began awkwardly and lost ground, held up behind midfield, 3-wide form 900M, nudged along 400M, shifted out sharply nearing 200M, not picked up the pace when straightened up. |
9 | 6 | RACING HERO (N157) | B Prebble | B/TT | Raced keenly in mid-division, awkwardly placed behind a weakening rival turning in, found little under when driven out final 200M. |
10 | 5 | NOBLE DELUXE (M063) | W C Marwing | TT | Sat near the rear early stages, pushed to 4-wide without cover entering back straight, covered more ground than others, swung widest home, came up empty. (Lame next day.) |
11 | 10 | JUN GONG (N325) | N Pinna | -- | Held up 3-wide in mid-division, first to make his move passing 500M, laboured hard but ran on at same pace only, checked 150M and eased. |
12 | 3 | BEAUTY LEAD (N209) | M Chadwick | TT | Close up, caught 3-wide no cover until 600M, had little left passing 350M, soon beaten. |
