1 | 8 | TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) | B Prebble | B | Trailed 4-back on rails in 10th from wide gate, 5-wide (widest) turning in when 4Ls off in 10th, stayed on strongly to lead close home. |
2 | 1 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | M Chadwick | XB | Tucked in behind midfield initially, travelled well 2-wide when 4Ls back in 5th at the 600 M, led at top of home straight, grabbed in shadows of post. |
3 | 7 | NEW IDEA (CK007) | B Doyle | B | Slow to muster early pace, about 4Ls back in 9th at halfway and marginally closer turning for home, 2Ls back at the 200 M, all out to take 3rd. |
4 | 5 | SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) | Z Purton | -- | 6Ls back in 10th at the 1000 M, closer in midfield but a little wide off last bend, had his chance to place but lacked the turn of foot. |
5 | 12 | SIR LAGO (CH268) | P H Lo | B | Hard ridden to take up a 3-back rails position at the 1200 M, around mid-division and 4Ls off lead through to last bend, couldn't quite reach the principals. |
6 | 4 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | Y T Cheng | TT | Taken back from wide gate, niggled along when 8Ls back in rear at the 600 M, plugged on past a few spent rivals in the straight. |
7 | 10 | SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) | S K Sit | B/XB/H1/TT | Vied for the early advantage, settled 1-1/2Ls back in 4th from 700 M to final bend, weakened inside final 200 M. |
8 | 11 | SAVUTE (CE326) | H W Lai | -- | Led by a neck on the fence early on, initial tempo was solid, headed at the 800 M and 1L back in 2nd off the last turn, soon fizzled out. |
9 | 3 | PLOT RATIO (CK044) | M W Leung | SR/B1 | Box-seated in 4th on the leader's back on fence at the 1000 M, in 5th off last bend, very one-paced. |
10 | 2 | CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) | K L Chui | B | A neck back in 3rd out 2-wide at halfway, advanced to lead by 1L at the 600 M, headed at top of home straight and finished feebly. |
11 | 6 | PEARL HALO (CJ023) | K C Leung | BO/TT | 4-wide with cover disputing pace at 1300 M, soon slipped back to midfield position, wide and struggling turning for home. (Bled.) |
12 | 9 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | J Lloyd | TT | 5-wide no cover vying for early lead, 3-wide no cover and a neck clear at the 800 M, struggling well before final turn after tough trip, to trial. (Tactic questioned.) |
