2 | 12 | EVER KING (CE147) | D Whyte | V/TT | Slow to begin, towards rear about 7Ls off speed at halfway, wide and 5Ls off pace turning for home, stayed on well to nick 2nd close home. |
3 | 11 | CLASSIC KING (CD256) | K S Yu | B/TT | Settled around 10th place and 6Ls back at halfway, edged a little closer in midfield on straightening, finished quite well only to be tipped out of quinella final strides. |
4 | 7 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | O Doleuze | -- | Box-seat position 2Ls off pace at 1400 M, eased to the front at 800 M and 1L clear at final turn, headed over 200 M out and one-paced on the run-in. |
5 | 8 | FOREVER RICHES (CG174) | E Saint-Martin | B | About 9th and 6Ls off speed at 1000 M, lost ground on the circle and 7Ls back in 12th taking final turn, ran on fairly past beaten rivals. |
6 | 13 | AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) | D Nikolic | B | Settled rearward on fence about 7Ls off speed at 1200 M, closer and going well turning for home, 2Ls down in 5th and every hope of a place at 200 M, couldn't follow through. |
7 | 2 | BAAZIGAR (CG171) | C K Tong | -- | 2-wide and 2Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, moved into 3rd at home turn and upsides winner at 300 M, given every chance to at least place, no excuses. |
8 | 3 | SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) | M Nunes | B/TT | Settled about 10Ls rear early on as usual, niggled along to take closer order taking home turn, never dangerous. |
9 | 5 | NAMJONG GOODLUCK (CE267) | B Prebble | B | Nicely placed in midfield about 5Ls off pace until halfway, rideen along to take a hand at final turn but only briefly loomed a place hope, tired final 200 M. |
10 | 9 | SUNRISE RAINBOW (CD209) | Y T Cheng | SR | 3Ls behind in 6th on fence at halfway, still right there off home turn, found nothing off the bridle. |
11 | 14 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | W M Lai | V/XB | On the pace but caught 4-wide no cover down the back, 1L down and 3-wide no cover at 800 M, in 2nd at final turn but ceded ground very quickly. |
12 | 6 | LUCKY LEGEND (CG306) | M W Leung | -- | Another poor effort, always under pressure in rear and never any closer than 8Ls off the speed. |
13 | 1 | SHINING DAY (CE163) | K L Chui | B/TT | Prominent when 3-wide no cover early on at 1200 M, lost position very rapidly on the circle and beaten before the home turn. |
14 | 10 | BARRACUDA (CB320) | H W Lai | -- | Hard driven along to lead at 1400 M but lacked the pace to cross to fence, couldn't lie up with them and headed 800 M out, soon beaten, unacceptable effort and to trial. |
