1 | 5 | ROUGE ET BLANC (S353) | Z Purton | B/TT | Began well, racing with leaders but wide before eased back to midfield with cover 1500m. Pressed forward from 400m, joint-leader 100m, just made it after nose-to-nose finish. |
2 | 3 | LOTUS STRIKES BACK (T145) | J Moreira | B | Began fairly, pressed forward to hold one-off position three-back from leader. Improved position 1200m, swung wide into straight, hit front 300m, battled gamely only to be nosed out. |
3 | 4 | HO HO FEEL (T029) | D Whyte | H/XB | Restrained on jumping, shifted across behind runners, settling four-back, one-off. Improved position around turn, taken to centre track in straight and finished off nicely. |
4 | 14 | SUPER SILKS (S365) | M Chadwick | P/TT | Ridden forward to settle behind leader in one-off position. Got cover passing 1100m, rolled forward entering straight, hit front 350m, battled gamely until flattened 50m. |
5 | 12 | FORTUNE GIGGLES (S346) | K C Leung | B | Got off OK, not pushed, settling in midfield in one-off position. Hampered 1400m, taken to rail four-back from leader. Kept on fairly in straight under hard riding. |
6 | 8 | CASH COURIER (S417) | O Doleuze | B | Began fairly, made up ground along rail, steadied 1400m, settling 3-back before turn. Switched out entering straight and boxed on fairly. |
7 | 2 | IMPERIAL GALLANTRY (T028) | N Callan | B/H/TT | Hard ridden to lead on settling. Passed by another passing 1200m but retook lead 800m. Kept on early in straight while laying away from rail before tiring final 200m. |
8 | 1 | AUTUMN GOLD (P044) | G Lerena | B-/CP1 | Shifted in behind runners shortly after start, settling at rear in one-off position. Made up some ground around turn, wide in straight, boxed on one-paced. |
9 | 10 | ROCK THE TREE (P272) | B Prebble | B | Bumped shortly after start, ridden while edging closer to rail at rear. Switched out entering straight but only one-paced. |
10 | 6 | FIGHTING BOY (P376) | M L Yeung | -- | Flat-footed at start, losing ground, and last on settling. Raced fiercely after being steadied 1300m, made up some ground around turn, one-paced in straight. |
11 | 13 | WIN ALONG (P003) | H W Lai | B/TT | Restrained on jumping and shifted across behind runners but kept 3-wide at rear. In last pair around turn, found little in straight. |
12 | 11 | CHANCELLOR (M347) | K C Ng | B/TT | Ridden to hold forward position but held 4-wide on settling. Allowed to roll forward to race outside leader, led narrowly 1200m to 800m. Spent force on straightening and faded. |
13 | 7 | FLYING MACHINE (T413) | N Rawiller | SR/TT | Shifted in shortly after start but unable to find cover behind midfield. Left without cover from 1200m and never likely thereafter. |
14 | 9 | LUCKY FRIENDS (V155) | C K Tong | -- | Ridden along to hold box seat, bumped and unbalanced 1600m, travelled keenly, checked 1400m, lost position turn and finished tailed off. Unacceptable performance. |
