1 | 7 | PROSPEROUS (CL054) | Y T Cheng | -- | Missed the start settling midfield 2 deep with cover. Swung about 4 wide turning for home, steered out into clear running near the 300m and went to the wire full of running to score a strong win. |
2 | 8 | RUGBY HEAVEN (CL086) | D Whyte | -- | Settled 3 wide with cover behind the leading quartet. Shot to the lead near the 200m, but was mowed down inside the last 50M. |
3 | 5 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | K C Leung | B/TT | Rallied early to camp on the back of the leaders along the rail. Fenced up in the straight and kept on soundly after having every chance. |
4 | 4 | EMPIRE CITY (CL169) | C K Tong | H1 | Slow to begin settling behind midfield the fence. Had some difficulty obtaining clear running near the 150m, went to the post one paced thereafter. |
5 | 12 | TREASURABLE (CH017) | M W Leung | B | Settled with the backmakers, 1 off with cover. Worked to the outside in the straight an got to the line fairly. |
6 | 1 | DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) | T H So | XB-/H | Tracked the leading group 1 off with cover on the circle. Failed to make any impression after enjoying a nice run in the race. |
7 | 3 | LUCKY BOY (CJ296) | C W Wong | B/TT | Ridden along early to take up a forward position, then was settled to take up a trailing position near the 600m, 4 wide with cover. Weakened in the run to the line. |
8 | 11 | MIGHTY FEELING (CL025) | J Lloyd | TT | Pressed forward and assumed the fence after the 500m whilst vying for the lead. Faded over the final 200m. |
9 | 6 | TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) | G Mosse | CP2 | Burnt plenty of petrol to race with the leaders 2-3 wide, no cover. Struggled over the final furlong after having hit the front early in the final stretch. |
10 | 9 | DR UNION (CK105) | W M Lai | P/H | Travelled a distinct last 1 off with cover. Failed to close off. |
11 | 10 | WOODSTOCK (CL105) | W C Marwing | B | Hard ridden from the outside alley to race prominently but coursed 4-5 wide without cover. Was a spent force after the 400M. |
12 | 2 | MEGABUCKS (CJ301) | B Doyle | -- | Not the best away but soon gathered momentum to surge forward from a wide gate. Unable to cross and was posted 3-4 wide, no cover in the leading division. Was gassed early in the straight. (Blood in the trachea.) |
