1 | 1 | REGENCY BO BO (A050) | M F Poon | B | 3-4 wide in the back straight before eventually assuming the lead at 900m. Took command in the straight and had too much in the tank. Went to the line under hands and heels late. |
2 | 5 | GOD OF DRAGON (B108) | N Callan | -- | Crowded on jumping and cruised across to settle midfield. Ridden for luck in the straight, and weaved through the field. Just held onto 2nd in a bob on the line. |
3 | 11 | ULTIMATE GLORY (S235) | O Doleuze | V | Dropped back from the wide draw to sit at the rear of the field. Came widest in the straight. Good turn of foot last 200m, and almost stole 2nd on the line. |
4 | 6 | SHAMPORT (B167) | S Clipperton | -- | Crowded on jumping and eased forward to settle around midfield. Stayed on solidly in the straight, and just run over the top of for 3rd late. |
5 | 3 | TURIN REDSTAR (B092) | K C Leung | CP/TT | Taken up to be handily placed 3rd/4th. Hampered 250m, but recovered to go to the line solidly late. |
6 | 8 | ROUNDABOUT (T352) | N Rawiller | SR | Taken forward before eventually settling around midfield. 1 paced early in straight. Checked off heels 250m. Recovered late and stayed on well. |
7 | 13 | RAGING STORM (B173) | J Moreira | -- | Cruised forward to be early leader. Didn't respond in the straight and dropped out quickly last 200m. Jockey and trainer questioned. Unacceptable performance. |
