1 3 HAPPY UNITED (H208) C Y Ho P/TT Allowed to drift back from wide gate & raced just worse than midfield when three wide. Pushed very wide from 500m, extremely wide on straightening before flying home down the outside to charge to lead at 50m & go on to win.
2 10 OVERSUBSCRIBED (C361) A Badel XB Raced in midfield away from the rail. Eased wider near the 500m, entered last section just under 3L from lead, was the second widest on straightening before making good late ground to move to second late.
3 2 GORGEOUS VITALITY (G051) L Hewitson CP Was steadied from the widest gate after 100m & taken back to third last. Was over 4L from the lead on straightening before dashing well between runners passing the 200m, closed well late but couldn't hold out wide closers.
4 9 ACE TALENT (H046) M Chadwick H/PC/TT Mustered speed after the start to improve to race in midfield along the rail. Was only 2.25L from the lead at the 400m, moved off the rail on straightening before closing well to be beaten under 2L.
5 1 HARMONY FIRE (E175) L Ferraris SR/TT Had a nice run in midfield just behind the speed. Shifted wider to get clear running just before straightening, closed off steadily all the way to the line to be beaten under 2L.
6 7 DIAMOND SOARS (G201) M F Poon TT Had customary early speed to hold the rail in a line of four contesting the lead early. Was shaded by outside two rivals taking first bend, improved to again share lead from 400m, held narrow lead until 125m, swamped late.
7 11 CALL ME MIGHTY (G464) M L Yeung H/B2/TT Drifted back to race third last along the rail. Was just under 4L form the lead entering last sections, stayed along the rail in straight and made up a length or so to be beaten just under 3L into midfield.
8 4 SAVVY DELIGHT (E386) B Avdulla P/TT Slow to begin & raced second last in the middle stages. Was awkward & brushed rail near the 550m bend, was still second last on straightening before passing a few tiring rivals when making up a few lengths, no threat.
9 8 CIRCUIT SEVEN (D474) Z Purton B/H/TT Ridden forward after start, was three wide in a line of four contesting the early lead before coming back just before the first bend to race behind leading trio. Had clear running on straightening but weakened late.
10 5 KOWLOON EAST STAR (E158) K C Leung H/SR/TT Began awkwardly before mustering speed, raced the widest in a line of four contesting early lead. Gained narrow lead near the 650m when three wide, shared lead again on straightening before weakening in final furlong.
11 12 STRIVE FOR GLORY (D186) A Atzeni P/TT Crowded after the start & got back to race at the tail. Was a clear last approaching corner when just under 8L from the lead, stayed close to rail in straight but couldn't make challenging ground despite limited riding late.
12 6 PROSPEROUS SMILE (J014) K Teetan CP1 Showed speed after the start, was two wide in a line of four at the front all challenging for the early lead before continuing to gallop between runners around the bend. Peaked on effort early in straight & weakened to last.
