1 | 8 | HORSE WIN WIN (CJ078) | A Delpech | -- | No early pace, settled 8Ls back on rails, suited by an even tempo in front, took short cut on bend, angled out between horses on bend, came with a strong finish digging deep to score narrowly - well clear of 3rd. |
2 | 12 | BODACIOUS (CD170) | M W Leung | V/TT | Away only fairly, settled 7Ls back on rails, moved 2 wide on circle, aided by tempo, switched to outside in straight, let down nicely to hit lead at 200 M but couldn't hold off finish of winner late (5Ls clear of 3rd). |
3 | 13 | GOOD PARTNER (CE221) | H W Lai | XB | Amongst first few to break, ended up in ideal spot 1 out 1 back, right there on turning and looked a chance briefly at 300 M, lacked the finish of first two and was a long way back in 3rd. |
4 | 1 | MARIBEAU (CH213) | F Coetzee | -- | Began only fairly, mustered to race on leaders back, had an even run despite useful first section, in a strong position on bend, held up behind slower horses in straight but not really going well enough to be a factor last 200 M. |
5 | 7 | GOAL KEEPER (CH277) | B Prebble | V | Standard jump, took up a spot behind pace in midfield 3 to 4 Ls from top end, had a good run to bend, had chance in straight but didn't let down as normally would, just holding ground in straight. |
6 | 3 | FAT CHOY FOREVER (CD111) | C W Wong | -- | Began well, assumed usual role in front, set a fair tempo in middle stages, worried by outside horse on bend, beat off challengers at 400 M, unable to find last 200 M and weakened out late. |
7 | 4 | HERE WE GO (CH247) | K L Chui | B/TT | Unable to take a forward spot and drifted back to race 5 to 6Ls back, had cover but did work to bend, angled into clear running but couldn't bridge margin just holding ground last furlong. |
8 | 6 | CIRCUIT HERO (CG304) | G Mosse | TT1 | Out in line, ended up in midfield when unable to go early speed, had a soft run in mid-section, saved ground on bend, stuck to fence in straight but lacked usual finish and just held ground (never comfortbale). |
9 | 9 | LIFELINE RAPIDE (CD204) | O Doleuze | TT | Took time to muster and pressed forward to position 3 wide in midfield, had trail but did share of work covering ground, eased wider turning but didn't have extra gear, just battled away late. |
10 | 2 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | D Beadman | B | No pace from outset, raced amongst last few 8Ls back in running line, trailed 3 wide on circle, gave too much start straightening, made some late progress passed tired horses. |
11 | 11 | BE MY SONG (CH272) | S K Sit | H/TT | Out well, worked forward to race outside the leader, didn't relax in mid-section, continued to challenge on turning, found little when asked at 400 M and weakened right out in straight. |
12 | 14 | GO BRITANNIA (CJ084) | E Wilson | -- | Began with purpose, pressed on but unable to slot in, ended up 3 wide without cover 1L away, did share of work to bend, close enough turning but hard run took toll and dropped right out. |
13 | 5 | HAPPY GO LUCKY (CH127) | C Soumillon | -- | Began awkwardly and drifted to tail, ridden along 8 to 9Ls back at rear, helped by early pace, switched 2 wide on circle, still well back turning, and unable to get closer. |
