1 | 11 | STEEL WIN (E111) | J Moreira | -- | Ridden forward from second widest gate early before coming across to race midfield away from rail. Eased wider approaching corner, made continual ground inside last 100m & just got the bob on the line to score narrowly. |
2 | 10 | EVERYONE'S VICTORY (E177) | H Bentley | H/TT | Widest of 6 runners sharing lead early before steadying & racing midfield, 3 wide with cover in middle stages. Widest on cornering when 4.5L behind before closing very strongly to just miss in a bob of the heads on line. |
3 | 4 | FOURAWARRIOR (E081) | Z Purton | -- | Not much early speed but improved after first furlong to race just worse than midfield away from rail. Entered last section just over 4L from lead, made continual steady ground between runners before closing to third final 50m. |
4 | 2 | EIGHT TRIGRAMS (C102) | H N Wong | B | Pushed forward to race outside the leader. Took narrow lead near 150m for short time before being over-run by winner inside the final 100m. Caught for third in late stages & beaten under 2L. |
5 | 3 | HANDSOME REBEL (B469) | K Teetan | B/TT | Shared lead when 3 wide in early stages before steadying & racing on leaders back from the 800m. Moved off the rail on cornering, finished off evenly in straight & maintained 2L deficit all the way to line. |
6 | 1 | MAGIC SUPREME (D144) | K C Leung | CP/TT | Pushed forward to lead. Joined near the 150m mark before over-run by closers in late stages & gave a length in shadows to be just over 2L behind in midfield. |
7 | 6 | SUNNY DELIGHT (E339) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Began only fairly, raced third last away from rail after start. Checked & lost ground passing 650m & consequently cornered nearly 10L behind. Made significant late ground in the straight & had genuine excuse. |
8 | 12 | HOLYSHOWCASING (E171) | H W Lai | -- | Began only fairly & was hard ridden to hold position in midfield along the rail. Continued along the rail on cornering when just under 4L behind, emptied out near the furlong marker & gave ground late. Well beaten. |
9 | 8 | WHO LOVES THE ACE (E267) | R Maia | TT | Pushed forward after start, raced 4 wide in a line sharing the lead before continuing on & racing 3 wide without cover outside leading pair from 800m. Hard ridden prior to straightening & weakened out quickly in last 250m. |
10 | 7 | DEAL MAKER (B023) | V Borges | H/TT | Ridden along after start to hold position in midfield away from the rail. Drifted further back in middle stages when racing along the rail. Cornered 6L from lead & gave a length in straight to be well beaten. |
11 | 5 | PANZERSCHRECK (E102) | B Shinn | E/P1/TT | Drifted back after the start & raced rearward before being relegated to last approaching the 800m mark. Continued at the rear approaching corner when under pressure, cornered over 9L behind & did nothing in straight. |
12 | 9 | CHIKORITA (D230) | T Piccone | XB/TT2 | Had no early pace & raced last. Improved slightly when moving three wide around runners at 800m. Continued in second half, over 6L behind on cornering before losing action mid-straight & weakening quickly. (Blood in trachea). |
