1 | 10 | KING DANCER (CK129) | J Victoire | SR1 | Reasonable getaway, unable to slot in, ended up 5Ls back in running line, eased 3 wide without cover on bend, powered to lead at 350 M, kept going despite hanging to score a strong win. |
2 | 3 | ENDLESS LUCK (CK033) | D Whyte | -- | Began fairly, ended up 5Ls back on rails, had an ideal run in mid-section, improved on rails to bend, made good ground between horses once clear of traffic at 300 M, did best work late but unable to wear down margin. |
3 | 4 | ROCKET FORCE (CJ201) | Z Purton | B | Amongst first few to break, pressed on when caught wide, early to race 3Ls back first without cover 2 wide, tucked in on bend, in mix at 300 M, no match for first two however hel on well late. |
4 | 7 | PALAIS D'OR (CH185) | D Beadman | TT | Out OK, taken back from widest gate, ended up at rear with last few 10Ls from top end, set a big task, still well back on circle, shifted to outside and made many lengths from an impossible spot to make frame. |
5 | 2 | CHINA LUJIA (CJ088) | O Doleuze | B/XB | No pace early, at rear soon after, ridden hard to make ground and take a midfield ride 6Ls back, not used to bend, progressed to 200 M when run came to an end. |
6 | 11 | CHATER D'CAT (CK119) | W C Marwing | -- | Out with rest, took a position behind midfield and ended up 7Ls back in 2 wide line, niggled along to improve on bend, kept on fairly before flattered at 200 M. |
7 | 8 | THE ONLY KID (CH173) | B Prebble | H | No early pace and settled behind midfield 8Ls off pace, not asked in middle stages, didn't have much dash but made some minor progress to 200 M before run ended. |
8 | 9 | GOUF (CJ227) | Y T Cheng | -- | Began nicely, assumed a forward position on leaders back, raced 3Ls away following a strong speed, close enough on turning, lacked required turn of foot and struggled final 200 M. |
9 | 1 | BULLISH WIN (CH197) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Amongst first few to break, prominent in lead battle early, did share of work following strong speed, in contention to 300 M but unable to quicken and simply battled late. |
10 | 12 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | M W Leung | B | First to hit ground, led easily and kept pace honest in mid-section, raced 2Ls clear on bend, defied rivals passing 300 M but soon overhauled and weakened easily. |
11 | 13 | FASHFIELD (CH307) | H W Lai | TT1 | Slow break, settled next to last 8Ls back on rails, not used in mid-section, still well back on turning, made limited progress only passing tired runners. |
12 | 5 | THE GOODIES (CH097) | C K Tong | B/H | Slow out and lost considerable ground, regathered to race at tail 10Ls from top end, still sharing rear on straightening, never a factor. |
