1 4 SAKEWIN (G275) Y L Chung CP Pushed forward to lead. Entered last section with a 1L advantage & continued to finish off strongly all the way to the line to extend winning margin to 1.5L on the wire.
2 6 MIGHTY STRIDE (G346) K C Leung -- Ended up getting a nice position in midfield before steadying passing the 650m.Was badly held up for a clear run from on straightening until shifting outwards at 200m & closing strongly late for very unlucky second.
3 5 DRAGON'S LUCK (H060) L Hewitson -- Bumped & crowded at start & raced in second half before improving position passing 900m & raced midfield between runners. Raced tight passing 650m, dashed up to within a length at 300m before fishing off evenly last furlong.
4 3 PHOENIX LIGHT (G192) S De Sousa H Steadied after start & taken back to third last between runners. Forced outwards near 700m & was steadied when close to heels near 600m. Shifted wider on straightening & closed off well down the outside, just missed 3rd.
5 7 DECISIVE TWELVE (D280) K Teetan TT Had a soft run in midfield along the rail from gate 1. Was 3L from the lead entering final section, stayed along rail on straight & virtually maintained that deficit on the wire.
6 2 PARTY WARRIOR (E368) M L Yeung H Bumped at the start, crowded after 50m & lost ground & settled second last along the rail. Stayed nearer the rail on straightening when just over 4L from the lead before finishing off steadily to midfield without threatening.
7 12 GLUCK RACER (E157) M F Poon V2 Steadied on jumping & taken back to race a clear last. Continued at the tail and over 5L from the lead on straightening before making some late headway between runners in the concluding stages from a long way back.
8 11 CIRCUIT MIGHTY (G078) K H Chan TT Ridden along from gate 12 but couldn't go early speed & drifted back to race worse than midfield when four wide around turn. Was the widest runner on straightening & did ok to maintain margin in last section given passage.
9 8 SUPERB CAPITALIST (H092) Z Purton H1/TT Bumped at start but mustered speed quickly to improve & race prominently. Raced second around the bend when following the leader/winner who was 1.5L clear. Peaked on effort near 250m & weakened out quickly late (see report).
10 10 BEAUTY TURN (H074) A Hamelin V- Raced in midfield between runners early. Lost position & shuffled slightly further back near the 700m, continued between runners on straightening when in the second half before failing to finish off & being beaten over 5L.
11 1 BUNDLE OF CHARM (G213) H Bowman -- Bumped at start before racing wide in midfield but with cover throughout. Straightened only 3L from the lead after improving to race between runners but peaked on effort at 275m & weakened in last furlong.
12 9 TEAM SPIRIT (B230) C Y Ho CP-/B2/TT Ridden forward from gate 11 but was trapped racing three wide without cover in third for the majority. Continued wide passage around the bend before emptying early in straight & weakening out very quickly to long last.
