1 1 SIR LAGO (CH268) B Prebble B Very slow to begin then was bustled to join the field and by the 700 M had managed to work forward on the fence into a reasonable spot behind midfield. Responded nicely to vigorous riding and won drawing away.
2 11 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) B Doyle B2 Raced 4-wide with cover in a midfield position. Carried wider turning for home continued to close off well.
3 9 RAINBOW STAR (CJ275) Z Purton B Ridden along to travel outside the leader. Was under pressure after the 500 M but kept on soundly.
4 6 COVER BOY (CK021) T H So SR-/TT- Parked on the speed but was posted 3-wide and without cover for most of the trip. Kept on evenly over the concluding stages.
5 8 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) M Du Plessis PC- Stalked the leader along the rails. Never really quickened and was one paced in the run home.
6 14 SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) M W Leung CP Took up a position at the tail of the field 2 to 3-wide with cover. Came wide in the straight and battled on fairly making some late ground.
7 13 DANEPRINT (CC221) Y T Cheng B/TT- Positioned back in the field, 1 off with cover, held up turning, plugged away at the same pace in the straight.
8 4 COOL RUNNINGS (CK014) K T Yeung -- Went forward to lead along the fence. Folded after the final furlong.
9 12 TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) W M Lai B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
10 5 FOREVER FORTUNE (CG145) J Winks B/TT Positioned at the rear of the field 1 off with cover. Paddled in the run to the line.
11 7 MEDALLION (CG322) H W Lai B/TT Raced 3 back on the fence. Had every possible chance. (See Racing Incident.)
12 10 GALAXY DANCER (CH179) D Whyte V/TT Positioned behind the speed 3 deep with cover. Shifted out into the clear on straightening and showed some response before tiring after the 300 M. (See Racing Incident.) (Jockey reported abnormal breathing.)
13 3 CHINESE COURSER (CJ235) K C Leung B/TT Travelled on the speed but coursed 4-wide and without cover, throughout, not likely.
14 2 FANTASTIC TIME (CH220) J Lloyd SR/V Raced 2-wide, slightly behind midfield with cover. Never a factor.
