1 | 1 | UP AND COMING (S266) | J Moreira | B/TT | Began well, and pushed forward early before dropping back to sit midfield 4-5 wide with no cover. Ran strongly in the straight. Pushed by 2nd, but found extra late. |
2 | 4 | ENORMOUS HONOUR (T236) | N Rawiller | B | Began well, before electing to drop back and find a position midfield on the rail. Ran on strongly from 250m, and challenged winner right to the line. |
3 | 9 | JOYFUL MOMENTS (T134) | R Fourie | -- | Slightly crowded on jumping before finding a position worse than midfield, 2-3 wide. Raced onto heels and was checked and unbalanced 700m. Came wide on the turn, and ran on strongly, making up a lot of ground late. |
4 | 7 | BULLISH SMART (S221) | N Callan | CP-/B1/TT | Slightly awkward to begin, but pushed forward early to lead on the rail. Held on to 50m, but a tired horse and swamped out of a placing late. |
5 | 6 | GOOD GOOD VIEW (P053) | K C Ng | -- | Elected to drop back from the wide draw to sit at the rear of the field, 2-3 wide. Ran onto heels 700m when improving, before coming widest on the turn. Steadily improving late. |
6 | 10 | SUPREME FLIGHT (M199) | K Teetan | B/TT | Began awkwardly and lost ground, before recovering to sit just worse than midfield 1 off the fence. Ran on fairly in the straight picking off a few slower ones. |
7 | 13 | KYNAM (P213) | C Schofield | CP/XB | Jumped well from the widest gate, and pushed forward early to share the lead 1 off the fence. One paced in the straight, and dropped back quickly from the 200m. |
8 | 11 | SUPREME FRESH (S076) | C K Tong | -- | Began awkwardly, before pushing forward to sit just behind the leaders on the rail. Stuck with leaders until 250m but didn't kick, and faded out late. |
9 | 3 | CHARITY KINGDOM (S278) | G Mosse | XB | Began OK, but had to come across from the wide draw to sit worse than midfield, 4-5 wide. Came wide on the turn, but only battled on fairly and was easing out late. |
10 | 12 | IMPERIAL CONCORDE (P425) | M Chadwick | TT | Missed the kick, and dropped out to be a very conspicuous last. Caught up by the turn, and improved in the run home but had too much ground to make up. |
11 | 5 | PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT (S420) | D Whyte | H | Only fairly away, and lost a plate early. Reluctant to settle early, sitting midfield 3 wide, and checked off heels at the 1200m. Hampered and taken wider at 700m. Race was over by the turn, and battled to the line. |
12 | 2 | NORTHERN FALLS (T354) | H N Wong | -- | Began well, but happy to sit midfield 1 off the fence early. Came wider on the turn, and awkward on heels briefly. Never saw out the trip, and never pushed out late. |
13 | 14 | SMILING WATCH (M325) | M L Yeung | B/H | Began OK, and taken forward to sit in a handy position 3L off the leader 1 off the fence. Fading before the turn, gave nothing late and was eased out. |
