Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) | B Prebble | TT | Had the box-seat on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd until turning for home, always travelled well, led 150 M out and kept on well. |
2 | 10 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | G Mosse | P-/XB/B1 | 3-back on fence about 3Ls from the front in midfield or better, stayed on quite well in homestretch to take 2nd inside final 30 M but never likely to reel in the winner. |
3 | 9 | HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) | K T Yeung | CP-/B2/TT | Best away and led by about 1L on fence from 1000 M to home straight, headed by winner 150 M out and all out to just cling onto 3rd. |
4 | 7 | LAMBRO (CH083) | C Soumillon | -- | Reasonable debut, mostly 2-wide in 5th or 6th between 2Ls and 3Ls off speed before straightening for home, clawed back some late ground and only just missed a place. |
5 | 12 | WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) | S K Sit | B/TT | In 2nd out 2-wide and 1L from the speed until 300 M out, given every chance to at least place but too one-paced inside final stages. |
6 | 8 | BUDDIES SPIRIT (CD042) | D Nikolic | -- | Lost some ground at start, keen and unbalanced at 800 M when over 4Ls back in 10th, same margin back in midfield taking home turn, always held by principals in the finish. |
7 | 11 | NEW TRIUMPH (CG105) | D Whyte | CP | Keen early on and briefly caught out 4-wide no cover, 3-wide with cover about 5Ls off pace and worse than midfield until homestretch, no impression thereafter. |
8 | 6 | FORTUNE WHEEL (CH018) | F Coetzee | -- | Never really got involved, switched from wide gate to race 8Ls off pace in rear out 2-wide, still well back when 4-wide (widest of all) turning for home, made no impact. |
9 | 4 | SUNRISE RAINBOW (CD209) | Y T Cheng | SR | Switched from wide gate to travel 8Ls last on fence at 900 M, not any better off entering homestretch, never in the hunt. |
10 | 5 | HONOUR SUPREME (CB393) | M Nunes | -- | Always in rear bunch, about 5Ls off the speed early but 8Ls back and not going well turning for home, tame effort. |
11 | 1 | MACAROON (CG238) | A Delpech | -- | Always caught wide without cover, 4-wide early before racing 3-wide out deep and 2Ls back in mid-division at 800 M, struggling to hold this position on the circle, retreated rapidly. |
12 | 3 | SURE HERO (CG122) | W M Lai | P1 | Never travelled well, steadied at 800 M when 4Ls back around midfield, 6Ls down and losing ground under pressure entering homestretch, very weak in closing stages. |
