1 8 SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) B Prebble -- Wasn't the best away but by the 800 M had settled 3 back the fence. Extended nicely soon after turning for home and was never headed after the furlong.
2 2 YOUNG LABEL (CJ218) F Coetzee B Went forward from an outside alley but was caught wide and without cover while racing handy to the leaders. Managed to gain cover near the 600 M, while still racing 3 deep. Rolled out early in the straight and went to the line well.
3 11 SHINING DRAGON (CC181) D Whyte SR/V Parked behind the leader along the fence. Hung out for a fair portion of the race after the 800 M, hit the front early in the straight but was mowed down by the 200 M.
4 7 SUPER FANTASY (CD162) Z Purton B/TT Travelled midfield the fence. Made some late ground along the inside without threatening.
5 5 COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) K L Chui TT Raced midfield, 2 off with cover. Peeled out after the 300 M, but was one paced over the concluding stages.
6 4 KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) W M Lai B Travelled outside the leader, faded inside the furlong.
7 10 OWNERS LAD (CG273) K T Yeung B Tightened for room soon after the start and raced a long last. Was ridden along for most of the trip to stay in touch, made some ground down the centre of the track in the run to the post.
8 3 SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) Y T Cheng B Crowded at the start and raced 2-wide with cover close to midfield. Didn't go on with it in the straight.
9 1 CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) H W Lai TT Hung out after the 800 M while leading. Gave ground passing the 300 M.
10 13 FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) C K Tong V Failed to muster early speed and settled near the rear of the field along the fence by the 800 M. Struck interference and blundered early in the straight, never a factor.
11 9 MY FAITH (CH054) M Du Plessis B-/CP2 Travelled behind midfield, 3 deep with cover. Made no impact in the run home.
12 6 RACING SPIRIT (CE105) O Doleuze B/TT Raced with the backmakers, 2-wide with cover. Folded quickly turning for home.
