1 1 DAILY CHARM (D398) M Chadwick B/TT Had a nice run in midfield away from the rail. Eased 4 wide passing 500m mark, straightened only 1.5L from lead, moved up to lead passing 200m, held off late challengers to win.
2 2 FLYING MIGHTY (D423) Z Purton B/TT Raced midfield on rail, badly held up from 400m until shifting outwards approaching 250m mark before flying home in final furlong to charge to fast finishing second on line. Unlucky.
3 8 DAILY BEAUTY (D070) J Moreira PC-/TT Raced in midfield in the clear in middle stages. Eased wider on straightening, entered last section 2.5L from the lead before closing well all the way to the line to be beaten under a length in third.
4 10 WAH MAY LUCK (E086) A Badel B/TT Raced on speed, between runners when about a length from the lead in early & middle stages. Moved up to narrow lead passing 400m mark, continued to hold lead until joined passing 200m, over-run late, only beaten 1L on line.
5 3 GO GO SIXTEEN (E244) B Shinn TT Drifted back to race at the tail. Stayed close to the rail on straightening when about 4L behind before shifting away from the rail at 250m mark & then closing steadily all the way to line to be only about a length behind.
6 7 WINWIN THIRTYTHREE (C110) L Currie V Raced in midfield along the rail in early & middle stages. Moved away from the rail at the 500m mark, entered last section about 2L behind & held that deficit all the way to line.
7 14 WEALTHY EMPLOYEE (D252) C Wong B Was trapped racing three wide without cover just behind the lead throughout. Was only 1L from the lead on straightening before peaking on run mid-straight & weakening a length or so late after wide passage throughout.
8 6 JOLLY FOREVER (D331) M F Poon XB/TT Raced worse than midfield away from the rail throughout. Moved three wide with cover passing 700m, came under hard riding before straightening before finishing off one paced down the outside to be beaten 3L in midfield.
9 11 FORTUNE TRIPLE (D274) K Teetan -- Drifted back after start to race worse than midfield between runners. Shifted to be the widest runner on straightening 4.5L behind before passing few tiring rivals in late stages without making much headway into margin.
10 12 PRIME STAR (E239) R Maia B/TT Steadied after start & got back to race third last away from rail early. Relegated to second last at half-way, and then last before cornering. Entered last section 4.5L from the lead & could only maintain that deficit to the line.
11 9 OH BRAVO (E037) C L Chau CP/TT Missed the start by over 5L before shifting down to the rail & settling second last. Moved away from the rail passing 700m, close to heels on straightening when 3.5L behind before doing little in final furlong, beaten 5L.
12 4 LIGHT MY DAY (C505) K C Leung B/TT Pushed forward to lead. Was headed in the lead soon after straightening & weakened out poorly in straight to be well beaten. (Roarer post-race)
13 13 SPLENDID TIMING (C161) H T Mo B Raced on the leaders back throughout the early & middle stages. Moved away from the rail soon after entering last section when under 2L from the lead before weakening out quickly in final 250m to be long second last.
14 5 STAR OF GLORY (E316) A Hamelin P Steadied after start & shifted across from wide gate, raced worse than midfield when wide & without cover. Continued wide around bend before hanging out badly & giving significant ground in straight. (Must trial, see report).
