1 | 3 | LUCKY FOLLOW ME (CL070) | B Prebble | SR-/B1 | Camped 1 out 1 back. Swept to the front near the 200m and found plenty to record an easy win. |
2 | 7 | LUCKY CHEVALIER (M113) | W C Marwing | SR | Enjoyed the run of the race behind the leading duo, on the rails. Commenced to peel out rounding the home turn and kept responding all the way to the line. |
3 | 8 | NEW LEADER (CK242) | D Whyte | B | Slow to begin, travelling behind midfield, 2 wide with cover. Rounded the home turn about 6 deep, closed off soundly. |
4 | 1 | ALWAYS WELL (M112) | C Y Ho | -- | Parked midfield, 2 wide with cover. Whacked away at the same pace to hold a spot in the frame. |
5 | 11 | MOCHI (M090) | M W Leung | -- | Steadied soon after the start and from the outside gate managed to settle along the fence, midfield. Worked home evenly towards the inside. |
6 | 2 | CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) | R Moore | CP/TT | Raced with the backmakers 1 off with cover. Shifted out into clear running early in the straight and made some late headway. |
7 | 13 | BIG WINNER AGAIN (CJ170) | P Strydom | PC-/B2/TT | Began poorly losing ground. Failed to muster and travelled at the rear of the field 3-4 wide with cover. Made some ground down the outside in the final stretch. |
8 | 10 | HINYUEN PALADIN (CL199) | Y T Cheng | -- | Never really had much peace when pressured by the leader while travelling in 2nd position along the fence. Commenced to weaken over the concluding stages. |
9 | 12 | HAPPY FOREVER (M034) | M Chadwick | TT | From a wide barrier was taken back shortly after the start, settling at the rear of the field along the paint. Finished off only one paced. |
10 | 5 | VINTAGE HUSSLER (CL266) | M L Yeung | B1 | Worked hard in the lead, travelling 1 off about ½ length in advance of the runner to its inside. Faded over the final 100m. |
11 | 4 | NOTUS (M038) | C Williams | -- | Began on terms and was in the leading division early before being steadied & settling around midfield 3 wide with cover. Was a beaten horse at the furlong. |
12 | 14 | SUCCESSFUL ERA (CK276) | W M Lai | -- | Couldn’t hold its spot early despite being ridden along, settled worse than midfield, 2 wide with cover. Failed to close off. |
13 | 9 | DYNAMIC CROSS (CL426) | G Cheyne | B1/TT1 | Travelled handy in the run 3 wide with cover. Struggled in the home straight. |
14 | 6 | DIVIDEND CHAMPION (M138) | Z Purton | H | Posted 3 wide without cover behind the leaders. Never a factor. |
