1 | 12 | CHAMPAGNE DAYS (CL024) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Out with first few, took trail on leaders back, all favours to bend with no speed on, dashed clear final 300m to go on and score comfortably. |
2 | 11 | LUCKY WARRIOR (M292) | Y T Cheng | XB-/TT1 | Went forward, posted 3 wide outside leaders, did some work but helped when speed steadied, loomed at 300m but couldn't match dash of winner, stayed on ok. |
3 | 13 | SCARLET CAMELLIA (M141) | K C Leung | TT | Faded back from a wide alley, unsuited when tempo slowed, 6Ls back upon settling, gradually worked into clear at 250m and made solid progress late. |
4 | 10 | DR WIN (CL203) | D Whyte | -- | Standard jump, ended up in midfield 4Ls or so back, fair run in midfield to turn but pace against, made steady ground when clear. |
5 | 5 | MR BOND (M098) | T H So | -- | Even getaway, positioned just behind speed 3 wide with cover, helped by lack of pace, battled away at same speed in straight. |
6 | 3 | LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) | H W Lai | -- | Pressed on to race outside leader, had a fair time with steady tempo, took lead briefly passing 400m, couldn't match finish of others and tired last bit. |
7 | 2 | DANZULU (CJ069) | D Beadman | B-/CP2 | Drifted back to rear from a wide gate, 6Ls back on rails, pace against in mid section, worked home evenly in straight with conditions not to suit. |
8 | 1 | VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) | C Y Ho | H/PC | Slow to jump, settled 5Ls away on rails, not helped by pace to bend, just worked home steadily without threatening. |
9 | 6 | FUN HEROES (CL207) | Z Purton | B | Got back a touch after average jump, raced 3 wide with cover in midfield 4-5Ls back, overaced and checked with slow speed, made gradual ground but never likely in finish. |
10 | 7 | OPEN SESAME (CL091) | M Chadwick | TT | Faded back to race 3 wide at rear, 6Ls or so away with speed not to suit, came to outside and made some headway late with racing factors against. |
11 | 8 | EUPHEMISM (CL413) | T Clark | B/TT | Out in line, settled close up in 1 out 1 back spot, no excuses in run, gave in easily and dropped off in stretch. |
12 | 9 | DILIGENT III (M211) | M L Yeung | CP | Posted 4 wide without cover from a tricky alley, steady pace helped but still worked to bend, dropped out after hard run. |
13 | 14 | VIVA FREEDOM (M037) | M Du Plessis | XB1/TT1 | Began in line, settled 3Ls or so away on rails, overaced in mid section, didn't find in straight and just plodded. |
14 | 4 | MOONWALK (CL083) | B Doyle | -- | Took up running, steadied tempo on bend, didn't respond when headed and faded out quickly. |
