1 | 6 | GENERAL DANSKE (CG296) | D Nikolic | TT | Bounced nicely, showed good speed to press on and take up the running, lead at an even tempo and dictated to bend, 1L clear turning in, put foot down at 300 M and drew well clear in running to line to win by a big space. |
2 | 4 | KEEN TAKER (CH022) | M Nunes | B/TT | Showed pace from outset, raced first without cover 2 wide when unable to cross, 1L back to bend, urged along turning in, kept on evenly but found winner in another class. Best of rest. |
3 | 7 | GRAND STORE (CH087) | D Whyte | -- | Slowly out, soon in rearward division, raced 3 wide 5-6Ls back with cover, made a run 5 wide (still with cover) on bend, came to middle of track and finished off evenly closing best of the beaten brigade. |
4 | 3 | WIKI WIKI (CD205) | K L Chui | -- | Out fairly, showed some early dash but had to be content to settle 3 back on fence, had an easy time throughout, saved ground to turn, finished only at same pace keeping on to make the frame. |
5 | 10 | CRUSH ON YOU (CH065) | H K Yim | -- | Ordinary getaway, settled at tail, raced on rails 7Ls away, never really comfortable and ridden along to bend, back behind horses turning in, made some headway under hands and heels victory only. (See Racing Incidents.) |
6 | 11 | DEMINER (CG184) | F Coetzee | -- | Away with line, lacked speed and ended up with last few 2-3 wide 6Ls back, tracked 3 and 4 deep on bend, in traffic for best part of straight, only clear when race was over and produced 1 paced finish. |
7 | 2 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | O Doleuze | V/TT1 | Out in line, ended up in midfield 3 wide without cover 3-4Ls back, did share of work on bend (checked at 700 M), 2Ls down turning in, run ended at 200 M and only battled away at same pace to line. |
8 | 1 | DR POSSI (CE288) | Y T Cheng | -- | First to hit ground, didn't have enough speed to cross them, posted 5 wide in midfield, improved to be 2Ls back on bend working hard without cover, close enough on turning but hard run took toll and weakened out from 250 M. |
9 | 5 | DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Ordinary break, regathered to take a midfield role 4Ls back 3 wide with cover, back in pack under pressure on bend, found little when asked for effort turning in and was well beaten in straight. |
10 | 12 | UNIVERSAL PIONEER (CB293) | H W Lai | B/TT | Fast into stride, lead them early before taking a trail, had run of race behind leader, 1L down turning in, gave in easily and was passed by many in the run to the line. |
11 | 8 | JADE CHINA (CG113) | W M Lai | -- | Even jump, posted 6 wide without cover from outside alley, always doing it tough 3 to 4Ls back, improved to be nearest turning in, effort told and found zero when asked in straight. |
12 | 9 | PRIME TARGET (CH242) | S Dye | B1 | Slow to begin, pushed up to take a spot 2 wide 4Ls back in midfield, received a back check at 700 M and lost valuable ground, never recovered and not a factor thereafter. |
