1 2 CITY SURFER (CG129) B Prebble B/H Broke well. Positioned 2Ls behind leader and had a ground saving trip along the rails. Quickened well to hit front 100 M out, kept on well to deny fast-finishing rival.
2 7 GEM MASTER (CG235) H W Lai B/TT Reasonable jump, settled in a midfield spot 6Ls behind the leader. Lost position at 500 M and had to come wide to challenge. Made up ground in the straight and was closest at finish.
3 1 KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) C K Tong XB Jumped fairly and was soon pushed to the lead. Allowed to control race in mid-section, skipped away on turning in, kept on but just gave ground in the final 100 M.
4 4 WATCHMAN (CB327) Z Purton B/SR No Comments on Running information for this horse.
5 8 MASTER YING (CB249) W M Lai B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
6 9 RISING WIN (CC089) B Doyle SR Standard jump, settled in midfield 6Ls behind the leader. Slightly hampered by the slow tempo at 1000 M. Made to work during home turn. Kept on steadily under pressure.
7 6 CHINSOLA (CD328) D Whyte -- Began with them, parked behind midfield 7Ls back. Difficult to settle. Raced 3-wide turning for home, made some progress but never threatened.
8 12 TIMBER CITY (CC031) Y T Cheng B Raced alongside leader after jumping out from a wide draw. Eased back gradually but never far off the leaders. Struggled to pick up in straight and ran home one-paced.
9 11 SUPER POWER (CH117) K L Chui TT Slowly away and was taken to a rear spot along the rails. Enjoyed a trouble-free running but did not respond to jockey's efforts in the straight.
10 3 BAUHINIA (CD118) M W Leung B Taken back from the outside barrier on jumping. Settled at the rear 11Ls off the leader. Found nothing in the straight.
11 10 SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) C W Wong -- Jumped fairly and raced at midfield 2-wide without cover. Struggled to keep pace before the home turn. Dropped out soon in the home run.
12 5 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) O Doleuze B Crowded for room soon after jumping. Travelled in a rearward position about 9Ls behind the leaders. Hard ridden making home turn, faded very quickly.
