1 11 GOOD TRIO (CD029) M W Leung B Slow to jump, mustered to sit behind midfield on rails 5Ls back, had an easy time throughout, 4Ls down turning, eased wide and closed off best to hit lead at 100 M and score nicely.
2 3 GAUCHO (CE033) F Coetzee TT Away fairly, rallied to take up running as usual, rolled along at a solid tempo, kept running freely on circle, pinched a break on entering straight, run ended at 100 M.
3 1 KEEN TAKER (CH022) K T Yeung B/TT Even jump, ended up behind pace 3Ls back on rails, not asked in mid-section, progressed along rails turning in but had no dash, just held ground last 200 M.
4 10 LEADER (CG012) P H Lo SR/TT Poor jump, ended up back with last few, raced 8Ls back with job to do, last on turning, switched to middle and made many lengths in straight to make frame.
5 8 CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) Y T Cheng -- Moderate break, ended up 6Ls back 2 wide, not used in mid-section, still amongst last few leaving circle, steadily progressed down outside to be nearest on line.
6 2 JADE DANCER (CE170) G Boss -- Showed some pace from gates, assumed spot behind leader but raced 2 wide from circle, did share of work with even tempo, niggled on turning, closed only at same speed.
7 6 ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) A Delpech V Fair beginning, ridden up to race 2 to 3 wide amongst pace group, did some work in run, 2Ls down turning, run ended at 250 M and one paced thereafter.
8 9 SUPER BALL (CD064) Z Purton B/TT Began with them, drifted back shortly after when outpaced, ended up 2 wide 5Ls away, helped by fast tempo, made some ground but never really threatened . (Lame day after.)
9 5 CALIFORNIA HEART (CE078) K L Chui B/XB/TT OK jump but lost ground shortly after, ended up 6Ls back on rails, saved ground throughout and helped by fast tempo, didn't finish race off making only moderate headway.
10 7 AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) M Nunes -- Jumped with line but steadily faded to midfield raced 5Ls back 3 wide with cover, struggling on bend, failed to find another gear and just plugged home in straight.
11 4 CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) O Doleuze BO Well enough to jump, took a role in midfield 3 to 4Ls back, raced between horses throughout, not travelling on bend, lacked usual finish and just battled in straight. (See Racing Incidents.)
12 12 BUDDIES SPIRIT (CD042) W M Lai B Away well, pressed on and raced 3 to 4 wide outside leaders, had a hard run without cover, under pressure on bend, dropped out tamely.
