1 | 7 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | B Prebble | -- | Average to begin, restrained shortly after start to find cover, settled back on fence 4Ls from lead, enjoyed great run spending nothing in middle section, followed paint in straight and overcame inconvenience to score a solid win. |
2 | 8 | FLORAL PEGASUS (CG011) | F Coetzee | TT | Broke with field, mustered speed to take up running leaving straight, didn't settle well and keep rolling at a good speed, held a length advantage entering straight, showed good fight but beaten by an easier run. |
3 | 4 | FAMOUS DANCER (CD353) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Standard to begin, allowed time to relax just worse than midfield, enjoyed good run in 2 wide spot 5Ls from lead, tracked into race nicely on turn, made up good late ground in straight to snatch 3rd. |
4 | 10 | FASHION JEWELLERY (CD177) | D Whyte | BO- | Fairly away, niggled along early to hold a prominent spot, raced 1 out 1 back 3-4Ls away, spent little in run, on bit to turn, made a reasonable challenge in straight but lacked real dash, just missed 3rd. |
5 | 5 | RUM SHOT (CE206) | Y T Cheng | B | Broke with field, pushed along to hold spot behind leader, enjoyed run of race in middle section (speed good), travelled well to turn, got clear at 200 M but was one-paced to line only holding ground. |
6 | 6 | PACKING ANGEL (CB223) | H W Lai | -- | Slow to get going, restrained to rear from awkward alley, settled on fence 7-8Ls away, lobbed along at tail throughout, going well on turn, came with between horses in straight, made up good ground from well back. |
7 | 9 | NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) | A Delpech | -- | Slow to begin, settled in rearward spot on rails 6Ls from leader, used nothing in middle section, made run between horses in straight but lacked any clear room and not properly tested. Pay to forget. |
8 | 1 | GOODY (CD239) | G Schofield | -- | Jumped with them, taken back from widest alley, settled 2nd last 6-7Ls away in a 2 wide position, travelled evenly in middle stages, in traffic entering straight angled clear at 200 M but showed little turn of foot to improve. |
9 | 12 | ADD THE FUN (CD308) | W M Lai | -- | Broke fairly, lacked early speed, caught wide from awkward alley, pressed on to race midfield with cover, always working in middle section, tracked 4 wide on turn and closed race off fairly. |
10 | 2 | LIBERAL'S CHOICE (CC345) | C Brown | B | Away well, settled in prominent spot outside leader 1L away, pressured by outside horse throughout (good speed), under pressure to challenge leader on straightening, weakened right out in straight. |
11 | 3 | STAY YOUNG (CD109) | C Soumillon | -- | Broke well, showed good early speed to challenge for forward spot, caught 3 wide when unable to get closer, raced 3 wide with cover through middle section, made 4 wide run on turn, gave little in straight. |
12 | 11 | FLYING SPRINTER (CD021) | H K Yim | B | Jumped well, worked across to challenge for early lead, trapped 3 wide outside leader when unable to cross, kept working in middle stages, began to lose ground on turn to be well beaten. Didn't go trip. |
