1 | 11 | SKY WALKER (CJ319) | B Doyle | -- | Enjoyed a nice trial in 3rd on rails over 2Ls back until the 600 M, 1L back in 3rd turning in and led 300 M out, 1L clear at 200 M, all out to hang on. |
2 | 1 | WINNER SMART (CK029) | K T Yeung | -- | 3-back the fence and 4Ls off pace in 5th at the 1000 M, closer turning for home, 1L back in 2nd at the 200 M, couldn't quite reel in the winner. |
3 | 13 | SABINA (CK169) | Z Purton | -- | 4-back the rails about 5Ls behind at the 1000 M in midfield, edged a little closer off last turn, stayed on best of the rest for 3rd. |
4 | 7 | FULL BLESSINGS (CH238) | M Chadwick | TT | In 4th and 2-wide some 3Ls back at the 1000 M, still 4th on straightening, kept on unthreateningly at the same pace and barely held 4th . |
5 | 5 | ALGARVE (CK239) | B Prebble | -- | Slowly away, about 7Ls off early pace in rear, not much closer turning in when pressured, ran on fairly well late, never nearer, may want more ground. |
6 | 8 | TOUCH LUCKY (CH193) | D Whyte | B/XB/TT | In 6th about 5Ls off pace out 2-wide at 1000 M, a little nearer off last curve, stayed on okay, nearest at finish. |
7 | 2 | PACHINKO (CH208) | R Fradd | B/TT | 5-back along the rails about 8Ls off pace at 1000 M, ridden along to get closer off last bend, recovered minor late ground. |
8 | 6 | MAGNANIMOUS (CK111) | W C Marwing | -- | Worse than midfield down the back straight, 3-wide no cover on the circle, didn't find much down the centre of the track. |
9 | 3 | CRYSTAL (CE209) | P H Lo | B | 2-wide and half a length off pace in 2nd down the back straight, led briefly from top of home straight to the 300 M, fizzled out very quickly in final furlong. |
10 | 10 | GRANDFIELD (CJ250) | Y T Cheng | -- | 5Ls off the pace in 7th at halfway, steadily slipped out of the picture from the top of the home straight. |
11 | 12 | GOLDEN BOY (CJ263) | M W Leung | B | Led by 1L on the rails down the back straight, headed at the top of the straight and dropped out of contention quickly. |
12 | 9 | EAST RIDER (CK283) | C K Tong | TT | Always in rear duo, went back from wide gate, stayed at least 8Ls from the pace throughout, must trial again. |
13 | 14 | MY MELODY (CJ157) | W M Lai | B/XB1/TT | Slow to muster early pace, remained in rear throughout at least 8Ls from the speed, must trial again. |
