1 | 5 | STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Jumped on terms with the field then settled 3 back the rails. Shifted off the fence prior to the 600 M, worked into the clear early in the straight and won easily. |
2 | 12 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | M W Leung | H/TT | Began evenly then drifted back to settle in last position. Saved ground rounding the home turn then hooked to the outside and made good late ground. |
3 | 3 | HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) | B Doyle | B/TT | Travelled early along the fence behind the leader but commenced to pull hard and shifted to the 1 off line near the 1000 M. Continued to race hard and near the 800 M shifted out to travel 3 deep without cover. Kept on well. |
4 | 7 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | W M Lai | B | Raced midfield 1 off with cover. Reaching the 700 M was 3-wide with cover, but was found to be one paced when under pressure over the concluding stages. |
5 | 4 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | Y T Cheng | B | Showed good gate speed to lead early before handing up and taking a trailing position near the 600 M. Didn't find any extra at the business end. |
6 | 11 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | C K Tong | XB | Box seated early then vied for the lead approaching the 1000 M. Gained cover to travel 1 out 1 back near the 600 M. Struggled in the final stretch. |
7 | 8 | BATURO (CH029) | K C Leung | -- | Bounced out in front but was trapped 3 deep without cover early before crossing to the fence by the 1000 M. Was well and truly overhauled by the 200 M. |
8 | 1 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | M Chadwick | XB | Ridden along but couldn't go the early speed of the race and was posted 4-wide without cover until finally pushing forward after coursing deep to settle in the lead 1 off at the 900 M. Completely gassed in the final stages. |
9 | 2 | EVERGREEN (CE106) | C W Wong | B | Raced near the back of the field along the fence. Railed up in the straight but only plugged to the line. |
10 | 6 | CLASSIC ENERGY (CJ143) | J Lloyd | B/H/TT | Travelled in 2nd last position, with cover. Sought an inside passage in the run home but ran into traffic problems and was held up for the final furlong. |
11 | 9 | TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) | P H Lo | B | Settled towards the rear, 1 off with cover. Never looked likely. |
12 | 10 | DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) | T H So | SR | Went forward but was caught wide and without cover on the pace. Gradually gave ground on the circle and finished well back. (Vet reported mucopus.) |
