1 | 8 | MATTERS MOST (K154) | E C W Wong | B1/TT | From draw 1 urged along to be tracking leader, quickened up impressively passing 300M, took over mid-straight before shooting clear from rivals to win impressively. |
2 | 5 | FLOWING RICHES (K293) | M L Yeung | -- | Jumped on terms, went forward tracking leader, responded well on straightening, proved no match for the easy winner over final 200M but finished clear 2nd. |
3 | 11 | KA YING RESILIENCE (J439) | J Orman | PC/TT | Emerged as leader 1100M, led at good pace to halfway, asked for effort nearing 300M, soon headed by first two, faded late stages but managed to hold on for 3rd. |
4 | 3 | LUCKY ARCHANGEL (E385) | M F Poon | B | Settled down midfield within 3Ls of leader, lacked a strong response on straightening, kept battling to the line but was readily held by leaders final 200M. |
5 | 9 | TURF PHOENIX (J294) | B Thompson | -- | Maintained a position behind midfield, saved ground on inside throughout, kept on steadily final 400M. Posed no serious threat to leaders. |
6 | 4 | EMBLAZON (K122) | C L Chau | TT1 | Began well enough but soon restrained to race towards the rear, last turning for home, brought wide and stayed on fairly well. |
7 | 1 | COURIER ALADDIN (J387) | Z Purton | CP/XB/TT | Failed to show early pace and settled back in the field, held up from top of the straight to 200M before running on fairly under top weight. (Mucus / Roarer.) |
8 | 14 | SIGHT DREAMER (J542) | K Teetan | TT | Lost ground at the start when making contact with rival, given a waiting ride towards the rear, keen early stages, 5Ls to make up 400M but ran home only fairly. |
9 | 2 | AMAZING VICTORY (G123) | K C Leung | TT | Jumped on terms, dropped back near last 5-6Ls off leader, held up for clear running 350M-200M but couldn't quicken up when run presented. |
10 | 7 | SUPER UNIVERSAL (K303) | L Hewitson | TT1 | Pressed forward but unable to cross, travelled wide no cover outside leaders, fought on same pace early straight, no extra final 200M. |
11 | 6 | STRAIGHT TO GLORY (K340) | H Bowman | P | Crowded shortly after the start, recovered to race ahead of midfield, failed to pick up speed on straightening, no threat passing 300M. |
12 | 10 | GLACIATED (K272) | A Atzeni | B | Bumped at the start, maintained a position in midfield, had difficulty obtaining clear running 300M but responded only fairly when run presented. (Jockey : may be suited by being stepped up in distance.) |
13 | 13 | EURO ROCKS (H153) | Y L Chung | B/TT | From draw 14 intended to go forward but didn't show sufficient pace to do so, caught racing 3-wide in midfield, couldn't go on passing 300M. |
