1 5 SHINING FORTUNE (G252) K Teetan PC/XB Raced in midfield along the rail. Moved off the rail into clear running near the 600m, was over 5L from the lead entering last section, finished strongly down the outside to charge to the lead in final 100m & drew clear late.
2 11 MAGIC SUPREME (D144) S De Sousa B/TT Showed customary early speed to share lead early before improving to outright lead near 900m. Raced 3L clear of nearest rival on straightening, passed by fast finishing winner in last 100m but was 2L clear of third on line.
3 1 CALIFORNIA CONCORD (D067) K H Chan B/TT Raced in midfield away from the rail. Was just under 8L from the runaway leader on straightening before closing off steadily all the way to move to non-threatening third near the 125m.
4 10 THE MULTIPLIER (E320) L Currie B/TT Raced in midfield early but lost position from about the 900m mark before being ridden along from the 800m to hold position. Continued to drift back to be over 9L form the lead on cornering before making late headway to 4th.
5 2 EVERYONE'S VICTORY (E177) H Bowman H/TT Began awkwardly, crowded at the start & raced last. Was just under 10L behind at the 400m before being held up around the bend until about the 300m. Made good late ground nearer the inside late (rider questioned, see report).
6 9 KEEN UNITY (G298) R Maia B/TT Got back to second last after the start & continued to race rearward throughout. Shared last place on cornering before making up a few lengths to run onto well beaten midfield finish from a long way back.
7 4 LIFE IS GOOD (H118) M Chadwick H/XB/TT Had a nice position in midfield away from the rail throughout. Was forth & just under 5L behind runaway leader on straightening before peaking on his effort mid-straight & weakening out.
8 12 COLOURFUL PRINCE (E418) V Borges SR/TT Pushed forward to race outside the leading pair when wide before shifting to be two wide without cover from the first bend. Was second & just over 3L from the lead behind runaway leader before weakening quickly last furlong.
9 7 CALL ME TEDDY (G233) K C Leung TT Showed speed to share lead early before being headed near the 900m & racing behind the leader. Drifted slightly further back around the bend, shifted outwards when under pressure after straightening before weakening late.
10 8 HURRY HURRY RICH (H130) A Badel PC-/TT Drifted back after the start & raced third last after start. Continued rearward when racing wider on the track before hanging outwards around the bend. Was last & the widest on straightening but never improved.
11 3 EIGHT TRIGRAMS (C102) Y L Chung B/TT Hard ridden at start before sharing second place when away from the rail & about 1 length behind in first 400m. Continued to share second on cornering when just over 3L from lead before weakening very quickly in final 250m.
12 6 CROWN OF STAR (H179) C Y Ho XB-/P1/TT Was about a length slow to begin before racing along the rail when worse than midfield. Was 9L from the lead entering last section before weakening out very poorly in the straight to be long last.
