1 | 9 | SPLIT SECONDS (CC275) | F Coetzee | CP/P1 | Awkwardly away, settled in rear about 8Ls off pace down back straight, 4-wide into straight when 5Ls off pace, picked up well and 1L 3rd at 200 M, hung but led 100 M out, kept on. |
2 | 12 | FANTASTIC STAR (CC294) | A Delpech | -- | Towards inner about 4Ls off pace in midfield at 800 M, 3-wide and 3Ls down in 4th off home turn, every chance when a neck down at 200 M, couldn't contain winner late on. |
3 | 14 | NORTHERN ROSE (CC268) | A Marcus | SR1 | 2-wide and no worse than 3Ls off pace in 4th until 800 M, a neck 2nd turning for home, led 300 M out, headed about 100 M out, no extra. |
4 | 6 | SOLAR (CC198) | D Dunn | B | Settled towards rear, 7Ls down in 12th at 1000 M, still towards rear and 6-wide into home straight when 4Ls down, staying on in midfield when just over 1L down at 200 M, one-paced close home. |
5 | 1 | LUCKY KING (CA304) | M W Leung | -- | 2 and 3-wide in rear with cover about 7Ls off pace down back straight, 7-wide (widest of all) into home straight, 1L down in 5th at 200 M, couldn't sustain effort. |
6 | 2 | SHANGHAI FRIEND (CB153) | G Schofield | -- | About 5Ls or 6Ls off pace in midfield down the back, 4Ls down off final bend, 2Ls down but looking held at 200 M, one-paced. |
7 | 11 | ACME OF SURPRISE (CB376) | C Williams | -- | Didn't break well but quickly recovered to hold prominent spot on fence about 2Ls off pace through to home straight, lacked another gear. |
8 | 4 | OLIVE OR TWIST (CB271) | K T Yeung | B | Slowly away but soon recovered to lead by 2Ls, under pressure and only half a length up entering straight, headed 300 M out and faded. |
9 | 13 | EL VIENTO (BT129) | W Woods | -- | On fence about 5Ls off pace at 800 M, closer on the swing when 3Ls down in midfield, much too one-paced. |
10 | 10 | A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) | Y T Cheng | SR | Dropped out in rear early at least 8Ls off pace, 5Ls down and still rear entering straight, no impression. |
11 | 5 | MAGNIFICENT (CB390) | R Fradd | B-/SR1/TT- | 6Ls off pace down back straight, closer on home turn, never likely to get involved. |
12 | 3 | CHERISHED (CB160) | W M Lai | P2 | 3-wide, sometimes without cover, down backstretch in midfield, 3Ls down and 4-wide in home straight, beaten 300 M out. |
13 | 7 | SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) | D Whyte | -- | Had cover in midfield about 5Ls off pace early on, found nothing under pressure. |
14 | 8 | TIGER TIGER (CB433) | J Quinn | -- | In 2nd place and 2 and 3-wide without cover early on, under pressure to lie up on the circle, dropped out markedly in straight. |
