1 | 10 | COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) | Y T Cheng | B | Raced 4-wide at midfield before driven to sit one-off behind the pace home turn. Rallied on to challenge the lead in the straight and dominated final 100M. |
2 | 12 | GLENEALY VIKING (CK174) | M Du Plessis | -- | Quickly into stride. Elected to sit 2-wide ahead of midfield from 800M. Well positioned to strike in the straight. Closed off well without troubling the winner. |
3 | 6 | MISTER HORSE (CL035) | D Whyte | B | Jumped fairly but soon urged to race at midfield on fence. Swung 3-wide and was 3Ls down into final stretch. Progressed steadily but no real threat to the front pair. Just held 3rd at post. |
4 | 8 | DARPANA (CK256) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Caught wide after standard jump. Gradually taken to 4-wide at rear. Took inside run and was 6Ls off leaving the bend. Finished off satisfactorily until bumped 50M. |
5 | 3 | KARBRIDGE (CK251) | B Prebble | B-/P1/TT | Began well but was trapped wide. Crossed to fence and led home turn. Headed passing 200M and weakened final stages. |
6 | 1 | GLOBAL WIN (CG109) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Prominent spot through to home straight. Just held ground thereafter. |
7 | 7 | VINSANTO (CL059) | Z Purton | CP1 | Bounded in the air at start and lost ground. Restrained to stay 2-wide toward rear from 1000M. Under pressure passing 500M and made up minor ground before peaked 100M. (Substantial amount of blood in horse's trachea.) |
8 | 5 | MORE THAN YOU WISH (CK380) | M W Leung | V | Never better than midfield on fence. No progress home straight. |
9 | 2 | MEGABUCKS (CJ301) | B Doyle | -- | Travelled wide and without cover at midfield and moved up to race outside the pace group turning in. No extra final furlong. |
10 | 11 | SUGAR ON TOP (CG274) | G Cheyne | B | Trapped wide after moderate start. Gradually dropped to rear but was still wide and without cover. Never likely. |
11 | 9 | MASSIVE STAR (CJ126) | S K Sit | B/H | Hard ridden early but didn't muster. Stayed 3-wide towards rear before dropping out top of home straight. |
12 | 4 | KINGIFLY (CG020) | T H So | P2/TT | 2-wide behind midfield early and middle stages. Found nothing in the straight. (Bled.) |
