1 7 SPARKLING DOLPHIN (C332) L Hewitson -- Showed customary early speed to come across to lead. Was half a length in from entering last section & held off all challengers to win.
2 12 STRIVE FOR GLORY (D186) M Chadwick P/TT Didn't begin fast & raced rearward throughout. Was second last but only 3.5L from the lead entering final section before shifting inwards at the 350m mark & closing well to move to second inside the last 150m.
3 2 HAPPY FOR ALL (H181) K De Melo B/H/TT Had limited early speed & raced second last along the stand side rail. Stayed along the stand side rail most of the way when closing strongly in the last furlong to steal fast finishing third in concluding stages.
4 3 RUBY SAILING (H347) Z Purton -- Showed speed to race in second place for the majority. Was only half a length from the lead entering final section but couldn't go with the winner in concluding stages before being caught for a minor placing in final strides.
5 8 ALWAYS AWESOME (H245) H Bowman -- Was slightly slow to begin & raced last. Continued in last place entering final section before closing steadily between runners into tight room passing the 200m mark before being closest on the line when beaten under 2L.
6 5 WOODFIRE CHAMP (H292) M L Yeung TT1 Raced rearward after the start when galloping closer to the middle of the track. Was ridden along from half-way, entered last section 2.5L from the lead before passing a couple of rivals when running onto midfield late.
7 13 SWEET DIAMOND (G063) A Atzeni TT2 Raced in midfield along the stand side rail for the majority. Moved off the rail passing the 250m, finished off only steadily to midfield late & was never a threat.
8 10 MULTIDARLING (H148) C L Chau TT Bumped at the start before racing in midfield between runners. Was only 1.5L from the lead entering final section but weakened tamely in the final 150m to be beaten just under 3L into midfield.
9 6 YEE CHEONG SPIRIT (H379) K C Leung TT1 Raced in midfield when galloping closest to the center of the track. Was just over a length from the lead entering final section before weakening in final 150m to be beaten just over 3L.
10 14 THE GOOD DEAL (G025) H Bentley SR-/B2/TT Obtained position in midfield between runners. Was ridden along from the 400m when just over a length from the lead, raced tight near the 125m but was beaten at that stage before weakening to be beaten just under 4L.
11 11 REGENT GLORY (E323) K Teetan -- Bumped at the start & was then steadied before getting position worse than midfield. Was held up passing the 400m mark & then failed to obtain clear running thereafter.
12 4 TRAVEL GOLF (H063) M F Poon B1/TT Was awkward on jumping before being steadied & racing rearward after the start. Was held up after the 350m mark before being fully tested from the 225m when close to stand side rail. Could have been slightly closer.
13 9 DIAMOND FLARE (H224) A Hamelin B2/TT- Showed some speed after the start to race in third position soon after the start. Drifted back to midfield after the first 400m before coming under pressure at the 400m and then weakening out to second last.
14 1 SAVVY DELIGHT (E386) A Badel P/TT Raced in midfield after the start before improving to be just forward of midfield after the first 400m. Began losing ground from the 400m mark & weakened badly to long last.
