1 | 8 | BRILLIANT PROPOSAL (N392) | C Y Ho | B | Pressed forward from inside draw to lead on settling. Kicked clear around the turn and kept on strongly to the line. |
2 | 1 | SIGHT BELIEVER (P258) | N Rawiller | B/H | Hard ridden early, staying with leading pack before bumped and unbalanced 700m, dropping three-back from lead. Switched out for run in straight and finished strongly. |
3 | 9 | EXCEL ONESELF (P287) | B Prebble | H | Shifted across behind runners from wide draw, settling distant last. Caught up with field entering straight, switched to centre track and finished strongly. |
4 | 6 | WINFULL PATROL (P063) | O Doleuze | B | Ridden along between horses settling three-back, one-out. Urged forward around turn but wide, kept on gamely in straight to be nearest at finish. |
5 | 4 | BEAUTY KINGDOM (T189) | K C Ng | TT | Slow into stride, taken to rail and ridden to make up ground, settling four back from lead when steadied 600m. Popped off rails 300m to make run and kept on steadily. |
6 | 12 | FISH N' CHIPS (T099) | T H So | -- | Quickly into stride, racing inside leader to turn before easing back into box seat. Stayed on rail entering straight and kept on gamely without closing gap. |
7 | 10 | ST YAZIN (N409) | D Whyte | TT | Beaten for early speed and initially in trailing trio before making ground entering turn. Switched out in straight and ran on fairly before being bogged down inside heels and not fully tested final stages. |
8 | 3 | FUN 'N' GAMES (P140) | C K Tong | B/H | Hard ridden early to share pace before dropping 1.5L behind and outside leader at turn. Looked chance entering straight but only one-paced. |
9 | 11 | FAST MARVEL (T191) | D Lane | XB1/TT1 | Taken across behind runners from wide draw, picked up some ground around turn, kept on fairly in straight without looking dangerous. |
10 | 5 | TRAVEL COMFORTS (T209) | K Teetan | -- | Began well, ridden to stay with pacemakers but wide, started to over-race entering turn, hung out losing ground. Faded final 200m. |
11 | 7 | BRILLANTE (T037) | A Suborics | -- | Pressed forward from wide draw, and held three wide without cover. Lost ground around turn and weakened gradually in straight. |
12 | 2 | TRIUMPHANT JEWEL (P310) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Crowed out and bumped start, hard ridden but didn't muster, gradually falling back till last at turn. (Rider reported horse lost interest). Unacceptable performance. |
