1 | 2 | NOTHINGILIKEMORE (V388) | J Moreira | B | Cruised forward to be handily placed 4th, on the fence. Loomed up 300m, and pulled away at 200m. Needed no urging from that point, cruised to the line and eased late. |
2 | 3 | HAPPY AGILITY (T184) | K Teetan | V/TT | Eased out to sit midfield, on the fence. Kicked clear of the main group and had no threats for 2nd, making slight ground on winner late as he eased. |
3 | 7 | ROYAL PERFORMER (V405) | O Doleuze | H1 | Eased forward early, settling worse than midfield, one off the fence. Wider on the turn. Looked gone 200m, but showed good turn of foot late to get 3rd on the line. |
4 | 14 | SILVERFIELD (S106) | T H So | XB | Eased back early, settling 3rd last on the fence. Battled on steadily in the straight, and just run over for 3rd late. |
5 | 6 | MR POTENTIAL (V270) | D Whyte | -- | Cruised up early, midfield and 1 off the fence. Wider on the turn and ran solidly in the straight, just missing a place. |
6 | 4 | JOYFUL MOMENTS (T134) | Z Purton | B | Taken out and early leader, before being crossed 900m. Plugged on fairly in the straight, and swamped late. |
7 | 9 | REGENCY BO BO (A050) | N Callan | -- | Fractious in the barrier, reared on jumping and lost plenty of ground. Lost all hope from there, and did well to end up midfield. |
8 | 1 | MYTHICAL EMPEROR (T419) | S Clipperton | -- | Wide no cover early, before pushing to lead at 1000m. Led early in the straight, but peaked at the 200m, and faded out from that point. |
9 | 12 | KA YING KID (P189) | K C Leung | H/XB | Dropped back from the wide draw early to sit at the rear of the field, 2-3 wide. Plugged on fairly and picked up a couple of slower ones late. |
10 | 11 | OUR FOLKS (P400) | K K Chiong | B-/TT | Pressed forward early, eventually settling 3rd, 1 off the fence. Faded under the stick early in the straight, and only went to the line under minimal urging late. |
11 | 8 | SICHUAN BOSS (V416) | N Rawiller | B/XB1/TT- | Slow to begin and settled worse than midfield, on the fence. Never responded to the stick, and plugged to the line without ever threatening in the straight. |
12 | 10 | CELESTIAL NOVA (V045) | H T Mo | TT | Pressed to sit midfield. Unsettled on heels for a considerable distance from the 1100m. Widest on the turn, but didn't have a lot left in the tank and was eased late. |
13 | 13 | RED ELYSEES (A005) | H W Lai | B | Sat midfield, 3-4 wide, and taken wider without cover 1000m. Did respond to pressure early in the straight and only pushed hands and heels, before easing late. |
14 | 5 | HAY RUN (V337) | C Y Ho | H1 | Stuck 4-5 wide with no cover in midfield early, before eventually getting a spot forward of midfield, 3wd with no cover at 900m. Never pushed out, and eased a long way from home. |
