1 12 NICKU NICKU (CC372) Y T Cheng SR Broke well, showed pace to take up forward position outside leader (pace slow), had easy run throughout, moved up to challenge on turn, responded well under pressure to score.
2 10 WINWIN COMBO (CB277) W M Lai -- Fairly away, restrained to take up position just worse than midfield, travelled 3rd last 6L from lead on rails throughout, used nothing in run followed paint in straight and made good sprint but ran out of time.
3 3 FRIENDSHIP (CE066) S Dye -- Broke best, held inside running early, took position behind leader on rails, enjoyed easy trip through middle section, reserved dream run when entering straight but failed to show enough dash to match winner.
4 2 CHERISHED (CB160) F Coetzee P Awkward to begin, taken back to last from awkward alley, positioned last 2 wide 8L from lead, made rails run from 600 M, still last passing 200 M and made good ground late between runners.
5 11 HAPPY ALL AROUND (CD248) H W Lai B Began well, ridden up to take lead after first 200 M, raced keenly in front at steady tempo, pressured from 500 M, led until 200 M but couldn't sprint over latter stages.
6 4 RIGHT CHOICE (CE102) D Whyte -- Average to begin, settled midfield in 6th position on rails, remained 4L from the lead thereafter, enjoyed good trip to turn, made run between runners and bumped in straight, battled away. (See Racing Incidents.)
7 9 BALL OF FIRE (CD020) H K Yim V Began fairly, showed no early pace and settled 4th last 2 wide 5L from lead, closed to be 3L from lead on turn, inconvenienced and held up for most of straight. Didn't look like threatening.
8 7 FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) B Prebble SR/CO Average to begin, settled 5th 2 wide with cover 2L from lead, raced greenly throughout, came 2 wide entering straight but only plugged away over final 200 M.
9 5 KING OF SPADES (CC056) K S Yu B Slowly away, hard ridden in early stages, settled 2nd last 2 wide 7L from lead, travelled well in middle stages, made run 3 wide from 500 M and came 6 wide on turn, made no impact on leaders.
10 8 ATHLETIC GOLD (CC241) P H Lo B Jumped well, urged along to take up forward position, remained 4th wide 2L from lead throughout middle section, came 3 wide from 600 M, gave ground on turn and faded out of it.
