1 | 3 | SUNNY BOY (A379) | Z Purton | B/TT | Jumped well from draw 1, led steadily, quickened up 400M, drew well clear mid-straight, kept on final stages, had enough to hold off fast finishing 2nd. |
2 | 5 | ELITE PATCH (C193) | J Moreira | PC-/H/B2/TT | Never far off 3Ls away from leader, closed off well from 300M, chased hard final 150M, nearest finish. |
3 | 12 | HALL OF CHAMP (D169) | M Chadwick | -- | In midfield, bustled along 500M, ran on steadily for distant 3rd. |
4 | 9 | LE TERROIR (B403) | C Schofield | CP/XB | Failed to muster speed, settled near last 8Ls off the pace, closed off final 400M fastest, but too much to make up on leaders. |
5 | 8 | GRADE ONE (A010) | A Hamelin | B | Towards the rear, 8Ls to make up 400M, made limited progress on straightening. |
6 | 6 | AQUILA (C248) | C L Chau | -- | Settled outside leader, couldn't quicken turning in, held 2nd until mid-straight, weakened towards the finish. |
7 | 10 | MOST BEAUTIFUL (A022) | M F Poon | B/TT | Slow to begin, towards the rear 10Ls back, ran past beaten horses in the straight, never factored. |
8 | 4 | CALIFORNIA CONCORD (D067) | K Teetan | TT | Tracked leaders in a 2-wide spot, outpaced 500M, gave little response when asked, eased final 150M. (Jockey : didn't stretch out at any stage of the race / Unacceptable Performance.) |
9 | 7 | GOLFMAN STAR (D384) | K C Leung | -- | Settled just ahead of midfield, failed to pick up speed in straight, faded 200M. |
10 | 11 | CORRIENTHES (D346) | H T Mo | SR | Held up 2-wide in midfield, under pressure 600M, soon gave ground. |
11 | 1 | SMART FOLKS (D343) | B Shinn | B-/P1 | Stumbled at the start, lacked the speed to go with them, always at rear, detached turning in, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
DNF | 2 | PRECIOUS EXPRESS (C126) | N Callan | -- | Chased leaders, came under pressure 500M, weakened rapidly on straightening, eased down. (Bled.) |
