1 | 11 | JOYFUL GENIUS (E388) | L Ferraris | B | Raced in midfield along the rail. Moved off the rail near the 600m, dashed strongly to take the lead near the 250m before continuing on to win by just under 1L. |
2 | 4 | MASTER OF FORTUNE (G474) | C Y Ho | TT | Lifted feet at start & then crowded, consequently raced towards the rear along the rail. Was about 4L from the lead on straightening before closing strongly to move to second passing 150m & holding that place to line. |
3 | 10 | LUCKY ETERNITY (G478) | C L Chau | CP1 | Steadied & drifted back after first furlong to get position in midfield away from rail. Drifted further back when slightly wide around bend, shifted wider on straightening before making late ground down the outside for 3rd. |
4 | 1 | DARCI JOY (E161) | A Badel | B/TT | Bumped, badly crowded & lost ground at the start & consequently got back to last. Continued last when shifting wider on the track at the 500m. Was the widest runner on straightening before making late ground down the outside. |
5 | 9 | LOOKING COOL (G151) | K Teetan | CP | Over-raced early when left three wide without cover in midfield. Continued wide around bend, was 3L form the lead at the 400m & battled on pretty well to hold that deficit after a wide passage throughout. |
6 | 7 | DRAGON DELIGHT (G395) | L Hewitson | B | Steadied after the first furlong when wide to get position in midfield between runners. Was 3.5L from the lead at the 400m, dashed ok passing 300m mark, finished one paced in last furlong to hold that deficit on line. |
7 | 6 | RIGHT AS RAIN (G037) | B Avdulla | B | Drifted back after the start to race rearward. Raced third last from the 900m when between runners, held up momentarily on cornering when 4.5L behind before shifting outwards mid-straight & passing a few tiring rivals late. |
8 | 3 | YOUNG VICTORY (D399) | M Chadwick | B1/TT | Had a nice run in midfield away from the rail. Eased three deep passing the 550m, was only 2.5L from the lead at the 400m, dashed up ominously at the 275m before peaking & weakening out last 150m. |
9 | 12 | BORN THE SAME DAY (E458) | M L Yeung | H/XB | Steadied after the start & taken back to race second last away from the rail. Continued rearward on straightening when close to the inside rail before passing a few tiring rivals when holding margin to line. |
10 | 13 | JOYFUL CHAMPION (G072) | Y L Chung | B/TT | Ridden forward after start, raced second before improving to take narrow lead near the 1100m when continuing to race on the outside of runners. Held narrow lead on straightening before weakening out quickly in last furlong. |
11 | 14 | SUPERB MOVE (G304) | H Bentley | B/TT | Had the perfect passage when racing third, away from the rail with cover throughout. Was only 1L behind on straightening but found little when asked and weakened out poorly in last furlong. |
12 | 2 | FAST BUCK (H126) | L Currie | P | Had a nice run in midfield away from the rail. Was only 2L form the lead on straightening but emptied near the 250m mark & weakened out poorly in last furlong. |
13 | 8 | CALL ME MIGHTY (G464) | H W Lai | B1/H1 | Raced in midfield along the rail throughout. Stayed along the rail on straightening, began losing ground early in the straight & weakened very badly to finish a distant second last (mucus). |
14 | 5 | GOLDEN WARSTEED (G350) | K C Leung | TT | Pushed forward to lead early before being headed on the outside near 1100m & then racing second along the rail thereafter. Began losing ground from on straightening before weakening very badly (substantial blood in trachea). |
