1 | 7 | KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) | B Prebble | B-/CP1 | Reigned back to a position towards the rear, travelled strongly throughout and made his move round the outside of field over the home turn, driven to the lead near 150 M and found enough to hold off the late challenges. |
2 | 10 | CENTENNIAL SMILE (CG165) | W Pike | -- | Switched off the back and given a patient ride, headway form the rear inside 450 M but hung in early straight making the ride difficult, made good progress late on and came close to win. |
3 | 3 | GALAXEE (CJ182) | D Beadman | CP | Restrained to midfield 5Ls off the pace, driven inside 400 M, responded well under pressure to finish 3rd well clear of the others. |
4 | 11 | HEALTHY CONTENDER (CJ342) | M L Yeung | B | Up with early leaders, well placed throughout one back on fence, was produced with every chance inside 350 M and stayed on at one pace. |
5 | 4 | STORM'S DESTINY (CJ260) | W C Marwing | B | Prominently early then taken back to a midfield position in middle stages, made a mild bid on straightening but lacked pace to seriously challenge. |
6 | 2 | WESTERN STAR (CK299) | J Victoire | B- | Positively ridden out the gate, vied for the lead on the inside for most of the trip, kicked 2Ls clear passing 400 M, all out but ran on empty final 150 M. |
7 | 8 | WINNING PAL (CJ138) | H W Lai | B/TT | Slow to begin and was checked shortly after the start, ended up racing in last pair 8Ls off the pace, stayed on once in line for home, made some progress final 200 M but was never threatening. |
8 | 5 | DECENT FELLOW (CH021) | A Gryder | B/H/TT | Held up towards the rear, last turning into straight and was taken widest to make his challenge, stayed on final 200 M but never reached leaders. |
9 | 1 | SEXY BABY (CK328) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Saved ground along the fence in midfield but was shuffled back towards the rear down the back straight, couldn't pick up when asked on straightening, never in contention. |
10 | 6 | HUMONGUS (CJ265) | T H So | B | Settled 2-wide in chasing group behind leaders, struggled to keep up passing 450 M, driven but no response, eased when no chance 200 M out. |
11 | 9 | STAR OF CHIU TON (CJ175) | Z Purton | B/TT | Ridden forward from draw 12 but caught very wide over the 1st turn, vied for lead on the outside from 1800 M then outpaced over the home turn, heavily eased final 200 M. |
