1 | 6 | HAPPY FOR ALL (H181) | J McDonald | H1/TT1 | Had a nice run in midfield away from the rail. Eased three wide without cover passing 600m mark, made continual ground down the outside to move to lead near 100m mark & just held off late challenger. |
2 | 11 | EASY SNIP (G211) | C L Chau | B1 | Made up ground along the rail after start to settle in midfield. Moved off the rail just before cornering, was held up from on straightening until angling inwards at 200m before charging at the winner in shadows of the post. |
3 | 9 | TRUST ME (C134) | H Bentley | B/H | Had a nice run in midfield away from the rail. Eased three wide near 500m, made continual steady ground to share the lead momentarily near 150m before passed by winner soon after, battled well to hold half-length third. |
4 | 1 | STAR ASCENSION (G206) | L Ferraris | XB-/TT1 | Had a soft run in midfield along the rail in early & middle stages. Moved off rail on straightening, was held up for clear running near 300m until 200m before shifting outwards & hitting the line strongly late. |
5 | 10 | FINGERS CROSSED (G403) | J Kah | TT | Pushed forward to lead. Was joined & headed passing the 150m mark before weakening a few lengths late. |
6 | 13 | DOUBLE SHOW (G250) | A Badel | B-/SR2/TT | Raced just worse than midfield between runners for the majority. Was about 5L behind on straightening when still rearward before shifting outwards approaching the 300m mark & closing off one paced thereafter. |
7 | 7 | LOST CHILD (G461) | H Bowman | -- | Raced worse than midfield along the rail throughout. Continued along the inside, 4L from lead on straightening, was making continual ground before having limited room near 175m & then being badly hampered near 75m. Unlucky. |
8 | 3 | DENFIELD (G471) | L Hewitson | TT | Had a nice run on the leaders back throughout. Was only about a length form the lead at the 400m but peaked at the 100m & gave a few lengths late. |
9 | 8 | BEAT HOLLOW (G414) | K C Leung | H | Steadied after start & got back to race second last along the rail. Was 6L behind on straightening when next to last, stayed close to rail early in straight, made steadily late ground when shifting outwards in last 100m. |
10 | 12 | ISLAND SHINE (D040) | A Hamelin | TT | Steadied & taken back to a clear last. Was last and 6.5L from the lead on straightening, passed a few weakening rivals late but made no real headway into deficit. |
11 | 4 | FURTHER FORWARD (H157) | Z Purton | TT1 | Had a nice run 1,1 for the majority. Moved up to challenge at 200m, was still close at the 100m before being badly hampered & checked, stumbling badly before being passed late. Had a clear excuse & would have been closer. |
12 | 5 | GOAL ORIENTED (G254) | M F Poon | SR1/TT | Hampered at the start before being steadied & taken back to race third last away from the rail. Continued rearward on straightening when over 5L from the lead before doing little in the straight. |
13 | 14 | FLAMING EAGLE (G108) | Y L Chung | PC/TT | Pushed forward to race outside the leader. Emptied at the 300m mark & weakened out thereafter. |
14 | 2 | SUPER DOBBIN (D352) | R Maia | B | Steadied soon after start & taken back to race worse than midfield when three wide without cover. Forced 4 wide passing 600m after improving slightly to midfield. Was the widest on straightening before weakening to long last. |
