1 2 SUPREME WIN (CK204) O Doleuze CP Out with first few, pressed on when posted 3 wide but forced to race without cover, did work to bend, joined in at 300 M and stuck to task solidly pulling out everything to score.
2 3 HIGH POINT (CH215) C Y Ho CP Showed speed, sat outside leader, aided by steady tempo in mid-section, took over briefly at 250 M, in battle for most of straight and narrowly deprived late. Well clear of 3rd.
3 11 MR CELERITY (L003) M L Yeung TT Standard jump, ridden hard to drive up and take lead, dropped speed in front, had terms to suit until bend, headed inside 300 M and couldn't find extra to stay with first two.
4 14 IMPECCABLE (L383) C K Tong XB1 Drifted back soon after start, 3 to 4Ls back in running line, not helped by tempo, improved between horses turning, picked up well final 200 M to make frame. (See Racing Incidents regarding riding.)
5 6 FINAL ANSWER (L178) D Beadman XB/H/TT Out in line, took a midfield spot 3 to 4Ls away, overraced and moved 3 wide in midfield, into clear from bend but found it hard to dash given way race was run. Just battled.
6 13 WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (CH145) K C Leung XB/H2 Restrained to rails, behind midfield but only 4Ls back when pace slackened, kept to rails turning, just held ground in straight.
7 10 ISLAND SUPER (CH297) W M Lai TT Slow into stride, settled 5Ls away on rails, harmed by steady tempo throughout, still well back turning, made only minor headway final 300 M.
8 9 GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) D Whyte -- Restrained from a wide gate, ended up with last few 5Ls back in running line, came 3 wide on circle, lacked a response but never really suited by tempo throughout.
9 8 TOUCH GO (L254) Y T Cheng -- Out only fairly, pressed forward from an outside gate, 4 wide without cover in mid-section, up challenging leaders on bend, folded at 200 M when hard run took toll.
10 7 GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) C W Wong -- Showed speed, took a trail soon after, had OK run despite checked at 900 M, there to bend, didn't let down in straight and gradually lost touch.
11 1 KILDARE (CJ198) J Lloyd SR Out on line, drifted back and then pushed wider when pace slackened, 4 wide with cover and overraced to bend, dropped right out in straight. (Roarer.)
12 12 NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) T H So B Caught very wide in midfield early, hampered at 800 M, drifted back toward the rear at the bend, failed to make up any ground in the home straight.
