1 | 3 | GRASS HOPPER (CD050) | K L Chui | B/TT | Led out wide at 1000 M, crossed to fence at 800 M to be 2Ls clear, skipped 3Ls clear off final bend, tired a little close home but never looked like being caught. |
2 | 4 | CAGA BOY (CG060) | Y T Cheng | B1 | 3-wide no cover at 800 M when over 2Ls behind in 4th, driven along to keep at 600 M, 4Ls down in 4th at top of homestretch, made some nice late ground but never threatened winner. |
3 | 5 | SMART FELLOW (CG031) | D Dunn | SR1/TT- | Midfield early about 5Ls off pace, further back turning for home, stayed on best (bar quinella pair) for a distant 3rd. |
4 | 10 | DEVON FLAIR (CD240) | H W Lai | V | 1L off pace on fence in 2nd at 800 M, soon began to over-race a little, 3Ls down and vying for 2nd place off home turn, one-paced and lost out on a place inside final 50 M. |
5 | 9 | BUDDIES POWER (CB201) | K T Yeung | B/TT | 3-back on fence about 4Ls behind leader in midfield at 800 M, slightly further back entering home straight, failed to quicken up. |
6 | 11 | RICH FOR ALL (CG023) | D Whyte | B | Slow to begin, 3-wide with cover and no closer than 6Ls off pace towards rear until home turn, stayed on very modestly. |
7 | 7 | EVEREST (CC196) | C K Tong | -- | Best away, shared early lead but headed at 900 M and over 3Ls down in 2nd taking final bend, had every chance of filling a place but faded inside final 100 M. |
8 | 1 | JADE DANCER (CE170) | B Prebble | -- | Mostly 3-wide with cover in mid-division about 4Ls off speed until the 600 M, 5Ls down taking home turn, stayed on only evenly. |
9 | 6 | GLOBAL LEADER (CG048) | M Kinane | -- | Slowly away, 8Ls last early on, further behind taking final bend, made some minor late ground past a few very tired rivals. |
10 | 2 | CROWNED GEM (CE056) | M W Leung | -- | Never travelled well, pushed along to stay within 5Ls off the pace in 10th at 800 M, always struggling to hold position thereafter. |
11 | 13 | BALL OF FIRE (CD020) | H K Yim | V | 4-wide no cover in rear and at least 8Ls off pace through to home straight entrance, never a factor. |
12 | 8 | NEW TRIUMPH (CG105) | K S Yu | V- | Settled 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls off speed in midfield through to 600 M out when pushed along to keep up, dropped out tamely in homestretch. |
13 | 14 | WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) | W M Lai | P-/TT | Unbalanced at start, always towards rear at least 7Ls behind through to 600 M mark, faded out rapidly in home straight. |
14 | 12 | LUCKY SPECIAL (CE269) | C Munce | H1 | Slowest away by about 3Ls, on fence 7Ls back in 12th at 800 M, struggling to lie up into homestretch, faded out sharply and eased down, performance deemed unacceptable. |
