1 | 10 | WAVY PEAK (CD083) | H K Yim | -- | Niggled forward along rail to be 2 to 3Ls off the speed. Ran on well final 400 M to take charge 250 M out and held off 2nd horse final 100 M. |
2 | 6 | MAVERICK (CE199) | S Sanders | TT | Dropped towards rear from wide draw. Behind midfield about 5Ls back from 1200 M. Under the whip and trapped widest turning in. Ran on steadily in straight whilst shifting in to be nearest at finish. |
3 | 13 | MILLENNIUM DAWN (BV168) | H W Lai | B | Jumped well and then proved difficult to settle when being steadied to race at the rear. Made up good ground final 250 M to grab 3rd in the closing stages. |
4 | 8 | RENA'S WUNDERBAR (CA285) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Soon dropped to the rear from wide draw after beginning well. Ran on well final 300 M but lost 3rd when one-paced close home. |
5 | 9 | SPECTACULAR TIMES (CD059) | C Soumillon | B2/TT | Slowly away. Moved up steadily to midfield from 1200 M. Kept on without threatening principals in straight. |
6 | 2 | SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) | B Prebble | TT | Soon midfield or better. About 3 to 4Ls back from 800 M. Kept on but never looked likely to feature in straight. |
7 | 7 | NEW TAMAR (CE156) | S Dye | B | At rear. Kept on without looking dangerous in straight. (Abnormal breathing noise reported by rider.) |
8 | 12 | KIWI DASH (CC281) | D Whyte | P-/XB/B2/TT | Stood flat-footed and lost significant ground. Remained at back. Made up some ground final 200 M but simply had too much to do. |
9 | 14 | KINGSTON GLORY (CC310) | W M Lai | B- | Midfield or better. Found nothing in straight and had enough 100 M out. |
10 | 11 | KID GALAXY (CB455) | G Schofield | B | Soon found rail and travelled 1 to 2Ls off pace. Kept on in straight until weakened badly 100 M out. |
11 | 4 | BRAVERY LUCK (CE108) | G Mosse | B | Prominent 3rd. Tired and dropped right out of contention 300 M out. |
12 | 5 | CONSTELLATION (CE025) | C W Wong | B | Went forward to be 2nd from 1200 M after failing to settle when attempting to find cover in the early stages. Led at 700 M. Tired badly and dropped out quickly inside 250 M. |
13 | 3 | SEVEN STARS (CE295) | C Brown | B1 | Slowly away and steadied off heels. Always towards rear. Never a factor. |
14 | 1 | HUANG PU DRAGON (CE120) | S K Sit | CP1/H | Led to 700 M. Under pressure to stay behind leader turning in. Gave ground soon after straightening. |
