1 4 CLASSIC UNICORN (C343) K C Leung TT Showed blistering early speed to lead comfortably. Raced well clear on straightening before extending margin further in the straight to win by wide margin. Impressive.
2 3 BE READY (D024) Z Purton B Raced in midfield between runners. Awkwardly placed near heels at 600m, bumped & unbalanced soon after. Eased into clear running on cornering before finishing off well to move to second at 75m.
3 5 FLYING GENIUS (D071) K Teetan TT Ridden forward but was left racing wide & without cover in midfield throughout. Improved to be closer to the lead passing the 600m, dashed to second soon after cornering before headed in that position near the 75m.
4 9 G UNIT (C329) C Schofield -- Didn't have the early speed of others, raced in midfield on rail. Bumped & lost a length near 600m before cornering with only 2 behind. Stayed close to the inside in straight before passing a few to a well beaten fourth.
5 2 EXPLOSIVE WITNESS (B001) J Moreira -- Not the fastest into stride, mustered speed quickly to be midfield. Checked when near heels at 800m & continued keenly in middle stages. Battled onto midfield finish but was well behind big margin winner. (Mucus post-race).
6 7 JOLLY GOOD HEART (D366) C Y Ho H1 Slowest to begin & raced in last position throughout. Shifted wider on straightening will still last before passing a few tiring runners late. Not a bad debut considering proximity to second.
7 6 VERY SWEET ORANGE (A300) H N Wong V Showed customary early speed to race in second place around a length from the lead throughout the middle stages. Couldn't go with leader on straightening & peaked on effort soon after. Weakened in closing stages.
8 1 ALLIED AGILITY (C314) K H Chan H/TT Ridden forward before shifting across to race on leaders back. Close to leaders heels & cornered awkwardly near 600m. Only 2L from lead on straightening before weakening out quickly final 250m. (Blood in trachea post-race).
9 8 KING'S EMINENCE (C508) H T Mo TT Steadied after start & shifted back from outside gate to race second last. Moved wider on the track passing the 600m, continued with only one behind on straightening before weakening out further to finish 9 lengths last.
