1 2 ALL IS GOOD (G269) C Y Ho B Had a nice run in midfield away from the rail. Shifted wider on straightening, entered last section just under 3L from lead, dashed strongly to charge to lead nearing the furlong mark before drawing away to win easily again.
2 6 KASI FARASI (B385) H Bowman B Raced in midfield along the rail early before drifting back to just worse than midfield around bend. Moved off the rail on straightening, made ground, shifted back down to rail near 300m before making steady headway to 2nd.
3 9 KING OF THE COURT (E384) H Bentley B Raced in midfield along the rail. Moved away from the inside approaching the 500m mark, shifted outwards slightly passing the 350m before closing off pretty well to close to third in final 75m.
4 3 ALL RICHES (G060) K C Leung CP Pushed forward to lead. Joined & passed by the winner near the 200m mark before tiring a few lengths to hold a well beaten 4th on line.
5 8 DRAGON DELIGHT (G395) L Hewitson B Raced in midfield away from the rail. Was 4L from the lead entering final section before finishing off only one paced in the straight to be well held in midfield.
6 4 RIGHTEOUS DOCTRINE (C197) M L Yeung XB/B2 Slow to begin before making up lost ground & rejoining the field after 200m. Was third last on straightening, shifted outwards near 350m before passing a few tiring rivals when running onto well beaten midfield finish.
7 5 SAMARKAND (H070) K Teetan CP/TT Pushed forward to race outside the leader. Was still close until peaking on effort at the 175m mark & weakened out late.
8 12 ACA POWER (E144) M Dee CP Hit the front of the gates before release & consequently lost considerable ground at the start. Eventually rejoined the field passing the 950m & raced near the tail thereafter. Was never in contention but had genuine excuse.
9 10 REGENCY HAPPY STAR (H248) Y L Chung CP/H/TT Drifted back from widest gate & positioned with only three runners behind in the early & middle stages. Was just under 6L from the lead on straightening but weakened a few lengths & was well beaten.
10 11 GLUCK RACER (E157) A Badel B-/H1/V2/TT- Was slow to begin, lost ground and consequently raced rearward throughout. Was last entering final section when about 9L from the lead before failing to make any ground & finishing a well beaten third last.
11 1 UNPRESUMING (H143) Z Purton B Had a nice run 1,1, throughout. Was only 2L from the lead entering final section, was still close at the 300m mark before being eased out of race thereafter (bled).
12 7 LEATHER VANGUARD (E491) C L Chau -- Had a nice run along the rail just behind the leading pair. Was ridden along from the 500m before weakening out badly in the final 350m to be a very long last (bled).
