1 | 11 | CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) | H W Lai | TT | Fast away, showed plenty to cross them from an outside alley, took up running and kept speed even throughout, rolled along from 600 M and pinched a 3Ls break, had rest chasing and held on well despite tiring a little late. |
2 | 7 | WHIPLASH (CG072) | S Dye | B | Out with line, took up prominent spot camped behind speed, had run of race 3Ls back in 2-wide line, tracked well at Rock but leader got away, stuck to task well steadily closing in straight without looking likely. |
3 | 8 | SUPER DANA (CC293) | K T Yeung | B | Even jump, ridden along to hold a midfield position on rails, had a good trip 4Ls back suited by good pace, not asked in mid-section, pushed along to make ground on bend, made progress in straight to snatch 3rd. |
4 | 2 | EQUATOR KID (CC134) | Y T Cheng | -- | No pace from outset and taken back from awkward draw, posted 3-wide 6Ls back without cover, did share of work with pace on, still well back on bend, made good ground last 200 M down middle to make frame. |
5 | 3 | PERFECT FEELING (CH035) | O Doleuze | TT | Ordinary jump, ridden along but received a bad check passing post on first occasion, raced 7 to 8Ls back at rear, helped by tempo but gave too much start at 600 M, rallied hard and made plenty of ground last 200 M without clearest run. |
6 | 6 | VICTORY TURBO (CD320) | B Prebble | -- | Began with rest, lacked early pace and checked soon after start, raced behind midfield 7Ls back on rails, helped by tempo but set a big task on bend, made even progress once clear of traffic turning but held up again last 100 M. |
7 | 5 | STAY YOUNG (CD109) | D Whyte | -- | Reasonable break, urged along to hold a midfield berth, raced 5Ls away in midfield running line, niggled along from 600 M, didn't have a turn of foot and just plugged steadily in straight. |
8 | 1 | CONGRATS (CG298) | C W Wong | -- | Well enough to begin, came across from a wide alley to take a spot outside leader, raced 1 to 2Ls back and did share of work with even tempo, still there on turning but couldn't sprint and capitulated from 150 M. |
9 | 10 | SOUNDS FANTASTIC (CH146) | M Nunes | XB | Unbalanced early and ended up at tail, raced 2-wide 8Ls of frontrunners, helped by fast tempo, well back passing 600 M, still last on turning in, kept on evenly making some late ground passing tired a few horses. |
10 | 9 | WEALTHY TREASURE (CC270) | M W Leung | -- | Showed customary speed to hold a spot behind leader, raced 1 to 2Ls back throughout, chased solid speed from mid-point and under pressure on turn, gradually passed by others last 150 M when labouring late. |
11 | 4 | SUNBELL (CB391) | F Coetzee | -- | Began with rest, faded back as expected to race behind midfield, raced 7Ls back in 2-wide line, helped by slow tempo, but niggled from mid-point, lacked usual finishing burst and just plugged in straight. |
12 | 12 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | W M Lai | B | Jumped fairly, pressed on but trapped 3-wide in midfield without cover, had a hard run 4 to 5Ls back with speed on, clearly struggling on bend and weakened right out of straight. |
