Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | DEMINER (CG184) | D Whyte | -- | Led early stages out 3-wide no cover, settled 1L off pace in 2nd out 2-wide from 800 M to home straight, led 300 M out, stayed on strongly for comfortable win. |
2 | 7 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | O Doleuze | BO | Enjoyed the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th until home turn, had little hope with the winner but ran on well enough for 2nd. |
3 | 10 | MOSHI MOSHI (CG255) | Z Purton | TT | With cover better than midfield about 3Ls off speed through to homestretch when briefly short of room, finished one- paced for a place. |
4 | 5 | GAUCHO (CE033) | K Shea | TT | Away well and adopted customary front-running position, 1L clear on fence from 800 M to home turn, headed 300 M out and run out of the money final 100 M. |
5 | 3 | THUNDER VALLEY (CG074) | B Prebble | B/H | 4Ls off pace with cover early on before being trapped out 3-wide no cover at 700 M, 2Ls down in 3rd out wide into stretch, tired inside latter stages. |
6 | 2 | TAIJI SPIRIT (CD185) | K T Yeung | XB/V2/TT | Always off the bridle, 5Ls worse than midfield at the 800 M, hard ridden to try and improve turning for home, never likely. |
7 | 1 | SAVUTE (CE326) | H W Lai | B | Ridden along to hold a 3-back-on-fence position 4Ls off pace at the 1000 M, shuffled back a little turning for home, always well outpaced. |
8 | 4 | DASHING WINNER (CA018) | Y T Cheng | SR/CO | Slowest away and switched from wide gate to fence to race 7Ls last, hung out making final turn when 6Ls back in 10th, finished off out widest of all, no danger. |
9 | 9 | GENERAL KINGY (CB039) | G Mosse | B | Caught about 3 and 4-wide throughout but mostly with cover in midfield about 4Ls from the front until halfway, beaten when squeezed for room 250 M out, eased close home. |
10 | 6 | CALIFORNIA HEART (CE078) | E Saint-Martin | B/XB/TT | Trapped very wide without cover always, 5-wide early on about 4Ls off speed, same margin back but still posted deep on straightening, yielded ground. |
11 | 11 | LEADER (CG012) | C W Wong | SR/TT | Always under pressure in rear, in 11th about 7Ls behind at the 800 M, never got a great deal closer. |
12 | 12 | CARRY THE MAGIC (CE069) | W M Lai | B | Lost ground at start and always in rear, never any better than 6Ls from the leader, very wide 600 M out, very weak effort. |
