Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | MOSHI MOSHI (CG255) | F Coetzee | TT | Away well, showed more pace than usual to take up running, went along at a solid clip when pressured by outside horse, held a 1/2 length turning, kicked hard and defied rivals to win easily under hands and heels. |
2 | 1 | COP HILL LAD (CD292) | H K Yim | -- | Began fairly, took a hold when unable to take a prominent spot, raced 2 wide in midfield 3 to 4Ls back, suited with speed on, ridden along on turning, found extra last 200 M to close nicely for 2nd. |
3 | 2 | CELESTIAL WONDER (CG046) | K T Yeung | XB/TT | Out fairly, urged to take up a midfield role on rails 4Ls back, suited by speed but appeared to be struggling on bend, same distance down turning, warmed up late to make good ground between horses for 3rd. |
4 | 10 | AS YOU WISH (CE290) | B Prebble | V/TT | Standard jump, faded back towards rear as expected, aided by solid tempo racing 2 wide 8Ls off pace, still had field to beat leaving bend, made good ground down outside after giving too great a start. |
5 | 8 | AMBITION (CC079) | M Nunes | B/TT | Out with rest, faded into midfield running line 4 to 5Ls off pace, suited by speed on, eased 3 wide on circle, made some ground in straight but effort was largely one paced and run ended at 100 M. |
6 | 7 | MASTER YING (CB249) | G Mosse | B | Fastest into stride, rolled on to attack for front, unable to cross but ensured a solid clip pressuring inside horse, right there 1/2L down on turning, couldn't sprint again and ran out of gas last furlong. |
7 | 12 | FRIENDS FOREVER (CD245) | C K Tong | SR/V | Began fairly, hard ridden for front but unable to hold lead and had to be content with trail, tracked solid speed on rails thereafter, eased out on turning and briefly threatened but offered little from 200 M fading late. |
8 | 6 | LUCKY CORDELIA (CD088) | D Whyte | -- | Moderate break, ended up behind midfield 6Ls back in 2 wide running line, helped by solid tempo, niggled along on bend, made a little progress in straight (steadied 200 M) but never really threatened. |
9 | 4 | CHOSEN ONE (CD347) | E Saint-Martin | B2 | No speed from outset, settled at rear on rails 8Ls off pace, had a quiet time and appreciated speed on, still well back on turning, only passed tired runners in the straight. |
10 | 5 | DOUBLE FANTASY (CG141) | A Delpech | B | Awkwardly away and lost ground, taken back to race at tail 3 wide 7Ls off speed, always working in middle stages, failed to make an impact just battling away in straight. |
11 | 3 | STRAIGHT VICTORY (CE328) | W M Lai | TT | Lacked pace from jump, ended up in rearward division 6Ls back on rails, not asked in mid-section, still well back and saved ground on bend, only struggled on straight. |
12 | 11 | SUNRISE LINING (CG030) | H W Lai | CP/XB | Even jump, ridden up to hold prime spot 2Ls back in 2 wide role, tracked solid speed throughout, switched out on turning but run ended quickly and dropped right out from 300 M. |
