1 | 8 | HIGH VOLATILITY (V081) | K Teetan | -- | Pressed along on jumping from wide draw, crossed to lead 850M, was tackled from 300M, kept finding to hold rival at bay. |
2 | 6 | INVINCIBLE MISSILE (C037) | Z Purton | B1/TT | Jumped on terms, moved up to track leader along 2-path, loomed a strong chance 300M, tried hard but couldn't reel in winner. |
3 | 11 | LOOKING GOOD (B256) | G van Niekerk | B | Niggled along to be chasing leaders along the 3-path, no cover from 900M, kept battling to the line but always held by first 2. |
4 | 9 | CIRCUIT HASSLER (A041) | C Y Ho | B/H/TT | Slow to muster, ended up 3-wide in mid-division, ran on moderately on straightening, just missed 3rd but never looked like troubling the winner. |
5 | 1 | WAR ROOM (B414) | M Harley | -- | From wide draw taken across behind runners, raced as the back marker until making wide move 550M, kept up his work until 200M, no extra late stages. |
6 | 5 | GOOD BEAUTY (B384) | M Chadwick | CP/TT | Slightly slow out, held up behind mid-division on inside, ran on final 400M without menacing. |
7 | 12 | CHAIRMAN LO (C062) | J Moreira | B | Taken back from wide barrier, held up at the back 5-6Ls from leader, brought wide 400M, stayed on fairly to line, no impression. |
8 | 7 | MIGHTY POWER (C094) | M L Yeung | -- | Settled down midfield along the fence, commenced to travel keenly 750M, just over 3Ls off the pace home turn, kept on same pace in straight, not reach leaders. |
9 | 10 | CONFUCIUS DAY (C272) | C Schofield | TT | Away fairly, held up 3-wide towards the rear, wide into straight, gave limited response and only past a few beaten ones. |
10 | 3 | GREEN CARD (V126) | U Rispoli | B/TT | Settled just behind leaders, didn't respond to riding and gave ground noticeably turning home. (Unacceptable Performance / Trainer : would have the horse ridden more quietly wherever possible in future.) |
11 | 2 | WECARE N PROSPER (C320) | T H So | B | Restrained in midfield, proved difficult to settle early stages, lacked further response in straight and struggled to the line. |
12 | 4 | SURREALISM (C285) | K C Leung | -- | Up with early pace then restrained to sit ahead of midfield, soon weakened on straightening, eased 150M when no chance. |
