3 7 CALIFORNIA LEGEND (B363) K H Chan TT Ridden forward to be prominent early before being crossed at the 1000m & racing on the leaders back thereafter. Stayed on the rail on straightening, assumed lead at 300m before battling on gamely for 3rd in closing stages.
4 13 SUPER RED DRAGON (C191) K C Leung H/TT Steadied & shifted across behind runners from wide barrier, settling second from last. Moved wider when ridden forward to improve from the 600m before cornering very side & making good late ground from difficult position.
5 4 GOOD FIT (S131) K Teetan PC/TT Had no early speed and raced in final three horses on the rail. Hard ridden from the 600m before straightening second widest. Finished of reasonably well but was never a winning factor.

7 8 GOOD RUNNERS WAY (C127) C Y Ho B/TT Had no early speed & raced worse than midfield away from rail. Hard ridden to hold position passing the 1000m before drifting back to second last at half-way. Maintained margin in final but was never likely.
8 14 BOND ELEGANCE (A007) M Chadwick B-/P2 Began well & strode forward before racing in third on the rail in early stages. Looked to travel strongly when only 1.5 lengths from lead at the 400m before failing to run on in the last 300m. Well held.
9 10 HURRICANE HUNTER (A123) H W Lai -- Shifted back behind runners after the start, settling a clear last in first section. Continued rearward, third last entering the final section. Passed a few tiring runners in the dash home but was never really involved.
