1 | 1 | MASTERY (CC176) | A Delpech | B-/TT | 4Ls off pace when 2-wide in 6th at 1100 M, closer when 3-wide taking home turn, picked up well to lead 150 M out, won comfortably. |
2 | 10 | WATCHMAN (CB327) | H K Yim | B/SR | Had the run of the race on fence in 3rd 2Ls off pace until home turn, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, one-paced in the finish but still managed 2nd. |
3 | 11 | MILLION SUCCESS (CE158) | W M Lai | B | Checked at start, 2-wide at 1000 M when 6Ls off pace in 10th, 5Ls down and 3-wide swinging for home, stayed on fairly well for a place. |
4 | 3 | CHERISHED (CB160) | F Coetzee | P | 4Ls off pace on fence in 7th at 1100 M, same entering stretch when tight for room, stayed on at same pace only. |
5 | 6 | ACCELERATION (CD400) | D Whyte | TT1 | 2-wide and 2Ls or 3Ls off speed in 4th from 1200 M to home turn, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, found no more. |
6 | 9 | STEP FORWARD (CB166) | M Rodd | B/SR | Carried wide by loose horse at 1400 M but still pressed on to lead by 2Ls at 1300 M, about half a length clear from 800 M to home turn, faded out when headed by winner about 150 M out. |
7 | 2 | BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) | O Doleuze | V | Slow away and tardy in rear about 7Ls off pace early on, under pressure when 7Ls last and 5-wide (widest of all) into home straight, never dangerous. |
8 | 7 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | C Brown | B | Worse than midfield on fence about 5Ls or 6Ls off speed until home turn, always outpaced, tended to hang under pressure. |
9 | 12 | NOBLE GLORY (CB145) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Awkward break, 2-wide and 8Ls off pace in rear at 1200 M, 7Ls down entering straight, never competitive. |
10 | 5 | COTTON BALL (CD327) | C Munce | -- | Inconvenienced by loose horse early on, within half a length of pace in 2nd from 1000 M to home turn when hard ridden, 2Ls down in 5th at 200 M, faded markedly thereafter. |
11 | 4 | DANSKE VERY MUCH (CD394) | G Mosse | CP-/SR/TT- | Never travelled well, keen with head up at 1000 M when 3-back on fence 3Ls behind lead in midfield, under pressure to lie up at 600 M and into stretch, dropped out. |
