1 4 BLIZZARD (S398) G Mosse -- Began well and taken across to sit forward of midfield, 3 off the fence. Ran on very strongly late, passing leader at 50m, and looked to have more in hand as he crossed the line.
2 1 LANG TAI SING (S280) Z Purton B2 Began well and taken forward early to sit just behind the leader, 1 off the fence. Shared the lead at 400m, and ran on strongly in the straight to hold onto 2nd after being passed at 50m.
3 13 HAPPY METEOR (T171) W M Lai H OK away and taken across from the wide barrier to sit midfield, 3 wide. 5L behind leaders at the 300m, showed a good turn off foot to run on well from there, picking up 3rd place.
4 6 LINE SEEKER (S269) K C Leung TT Began well and taken forward early to lead. Travelled OK in the straight and lead until the 200m, but ran like a tired horse late, and was beaten out of a place.
5 2 TONYBOY (S101) D Whyte P-/XB/V2 Began well, and allowed to ease forward to be handily placed, 1 off the fence. Slightly 1 paced in the straight, but plugged away steadily.
6 10 BRIGHT STAR (N387) M L Yeung B Began awkwardly and didn't settle early before being taken midfield, one off the fence. Came wider on the turn, but only ran on fairly in the straight.
7 5 INVINCIBLE FRESH (T190) A Suborics H/P Began fairly, before being taken forward of midfield, on the fence. One paced in straight, and never threatened a place.
8 14 NAUGHTY BABY (N346) K C Ng B/TT Crowded on jumping, and initially at the rear of the field on the fence. Worked forward in early/mid stages to sit midfield. Worked forward steadily from the turn, but never a threat, and peaked 100m.
9 8 ANIMATION MASTER (T111) C K Tong TT OK away and found a position forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Checked off heels and raced ungenerously at the 900m, and lost ground. Handily placed at the top of the straight, but faded out from the 400m.
10 11 OUR FOLKS (P400) N Callan H/TT Dropped back from the wide draw to sit last up the back straight. Plugged away in the straight, picking up a few stragglers.
11 12 HAYMAKER (T054) Y T Cheng H/SR Began OK, before finding a position worse than midfield 1 off the fence. Badly overreacted when checked off heels at 900m. Last on turn, and only plugged away late, picking up a couple easing up.
12 3 GENTILIS (S011) H N Wong H/TT Began OK and taken forward early. Was crossed for the lead at 1000m, and badly placed on heels. Didn't settle when on heels from 1000m until the home turn. Raced tired late, and faded out in the straight.
13 9 BANGALORE (T296) C Y Ho H1 Bounded out of the gates, and sat at the rear of the field. Came widest from the 300m, but delivered nothing, and only beat one home.
14 7 SHOWING CHARACTER (T289) H W Lai -- Taken back from the wide gate to sit mid back, 3 off the fence. Widest on the turn. Lay in towards heels at 300m, but race was already run, and dropped out to finish last.
