From wide barriers, ROCK THE TREE and TOP ACE were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Despite being ridden along in the early stages, WONDERFUL CHASER failed to muster speed. After the 1000 Metres, WONDERFUL CHASER was then left racing wide and without cover. After the race, C Y Ho stated that although obliged to race wide and without cover throughout the event, he was unable to offer any other explanation for the disappointing performance of WONDERFUL CHASER. A veterinary inspection of WONDERFUL CHASER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Approaching the 800 Metres, PROUD SKY was awkwardly placed close to the heels of ROCKET GO which was steadied away from the heels of DAZZLE WINNER. Passing the 400 Metres, CLEMENT LEGEND was brushed by HORSE BULLET which lay out when placed under pressure. THE INVINCIBLE lost its right front plate after the race. After the race, M L Yeung stated that PROUD SKY travelled satisfactorily during the early and middle stages, however, failed to respond to his riding in the Straight and was disappointing. A veterinary inspection of PROUD SKY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CHIU CHOW KID, TOP ACE and CLEMENT LEGEND were sent for sampling.
