Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | M Nunes | B | 7Ls back in last after just 200 M, still 6Ls last turning for home, ran on very strongly out wide despite slow tempo to lead on the line, great late kick. |
2 | 1 | JADE DRAGONFLY (CE331) | O Doleuze | BO | Settled in 11th or so about 5Ls off pace at 1200 M when 2-wide, improved to be 3Ls back in midfield off home turn, picked up well to lead about 20 M out but foiled on the line. |
3 | 11 | CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) | A Delpech | B | Worse than midfield with cover about 5Ls off pace at the 1200 M and similar turning for home, strong run inside final 200 M and only just missed quinella. |
4 | 7 | MAINLAND SHUTTLE (CG315) | G Mosse | -- | Nicely placed on the rail in 5th or 6th between 2Ls and 3Ls off pace until straightening, had every chance to at least place but outpaced final 50 M. |
5 | 10 | RICH FOR ALL (CG023) | Y T Cheng | B | Big effort despite very wide trip without cover, always prominent but between 6 and 4-wide no cover down the back, stayed on gamely in the stretch but no more to give final 50 M. |
6 | 3 | LUCKY MONEY (CE159) | H W Lai | TT | Narrow lead out 2-wide at 1400 M, about a neck clear and always 2-wide until home turn, 1L clear at 200 M, tired late and swamped inside final 30 M. |
7 | 4 | BEST POWER (CG006) | E Saint-Martin | -- | One from rear 6Ls off pace at 1200 M, raced wide but had cover, still well back entering the straight, never troubled principals. |
8 | 12 | LE ROSSIGNOL (CG196) | F Coetzee | CP-/B1 | On fence 1L back in 2nd at the 1000 M and identical position turning for home, all out to hold this spot at 200 M, finished off one-paced. |
9 | 2 | BEING FAMOUS (CD018) | S Dye | B- | No early dash and 6Ls back in 12th at 1200 M, a little worse off on straightening when 5-wide (widest of all), battled on at the one pace and never nearer. |
10 | 6 | YANKEE (CH271) | W M Lai | -- | Awkward break, midfield about 4Ls off pace at 1000 M and soon ridden along to lie up, struggling in same position off final bend, very one-paced and weakened final 200 M. |
11 | 13 | REAL SURPRISE (CE301) | D Whyte | TT | Raced 3-back on fence in 9th or 10th about 4Ls or 5Ls from the front through to home turn, found nothing under pressure. |
12 | 8 | DREAM HORSE (CG029) | K L Chui | XB/TT | Prominent early position about 1L off pace in 3rd or 4th, under very strong pressure to maintain this proximity at the 600 M and folded shortly after straightening. |
13 | 9 | GOOD PARTNER (CE221) | B Prebble | TT | Awkward break, darted in from wide gate to take up 2-wide position about 3Ls back in mid-division from 1000 M to home turn, emptied out very quickly and eased down final 200 M. |
14 | 14 | HAPPY CRUSADER (CE080) | C W Wong | V/TT | Midfield about 2Ls or 3Ls off pace until the 600 M but trapped mostly 4 and 5-wide without cover, struggling when making final bend and dropped out rapidly. |
