1 | 12 | KUNG FU (CE289) | G Boss | P/H | Pushed to share the lead, used up lots of fuel in the fast early sectionals, kicked away 400 M and won impressively despite the negative racing situations. |
2 | 7 | GLENEALY STAR (CH284) | Y T Cheng | -- | Hard ridden to hold the rail and shared the lead, harmed by the fast pace, ran on strongly to the line to secure 2nd. |
3 | 9 | ALL TIME HIGH (CG285) | K L Chui | CP/XB/TT | Hard ridden early but failed to muster speed, behind midfield, 8Ls off the leaders 2 to 4-wide, benefited by the fast tempo, made ground steadily 400 M to grab 3rd. |
4 | 5 | VIKING TOR (CE207) | M W Leung | CP | Worse than midfield, 8-1/2Ls off the leaders along the fence, favoured by the fast pace, lacked room 400 M, progressed steadily when clear. |
5 | 11 | MANY GAINS (CJ051) | D Whyte | -- | Pushed early but not quick enough to take a forward spot, 6Ls off the leaders 3-wide, benefited by the fast pace, made ground 400 M without threats, run ended 100 M. |
6 | 14 | BUCCANEER (CH214) | M Du Plessis | -- | Eased back, 10Ls off the leaders 2-wide, helped by the fast pace, swept 5-wide on straightening to make run, progressed steadily 300 M. |
7 | 1 | KING PRAWN SUPREME (CJ076) | F Coetzee | B | Settled 2-1/2Ls off the leaders 2-wide, not suited by the fast early sectionals, ran on until 100 M flattened. |
8 | 13 | NORDIC STAR (CH302) | H W Lai | TT | Slow away, eased to sit at rear, more than 11Ls off the leaders 2 to 4-wide, benefited by the fast early tempo, made some ground last 300 M. |
9 | 10 | DRAGON EYE (CJ127) | Z Purton | TT | Slowly away, eased to sit about midfield along the fence, 6Ls behind the leaders, helped by the fast tempo, blocked 400 M to 200 M, just held ground when clear. |
10 | 2 | SPRING SUN (CJ128) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Slowly away, pushed to take a 2-wide position in front of midfield, 4-1/2Ls off the fast pace, no dash in straight, weakened 250 M. (See Racing Incidents.) |
11 | 4 | EVER BEAUTY (CJ161) | D Beadman | -- | Eased at start to cross the rails at rear, more than 11Ls off the leaders, favoured by the fast pace but blocked most straight, ran on only fairly when clear. |
12 | 3 | NORTH HILL (CJ082) | B Prebble | -- | Pushed early to obtain a midfield spot, checked 900 M, 6Ls off the leaders 2-wide, helped by the fast pace, momentarily held up 400 M, no progress when clear. |
