Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | SOLAR MIGHTY (CH124) | G Boss | B/TT | Out in line, faded back to race 4Ls back in running line, suited by solid speed on in mid-section, improved between horses turning, dashed sharply last furlong to hit front on line. |
2 | 12 | SUNNY GOLF (CH138) | M Nunes | XB/TT | Away with rest, went forward when posted wide, always working 3 wide without cover, 1 to 2Ls back on turning, kept to task well to gradually overhaul leaders, caught in shadows of post. |
3 | 6 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | W M Lai | BO | Began well, ended up 3 wide in midfield 3Ls back with cover, did share of work to bend, made solid progress down centre to go down in a 3 way finish. |
4 | 9 | HAR HAR CHARMS (CE100) | D Whyte | -- | Average out, pushed on to improve and take lead, continued to set a genuine tempo with presence of outside horse, kicked strongly on turning, tired last 100 M and lost place late. |
5 | 1 | GLOBAL WIN (CG109) | Z Purton | B/TT | Began well, behind leader early before ending up 3Ls back on rails, had a fair run on back of speed, close enough on turning, couldn't find extra gear and just held ground last 300 M. |
6 | 4 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | P H Lo | CP/TT | Away reasonably, prominent early racing 1 out 1 back, ended up 3Ls back camped behind speed, switched to middle and made ground to 200 M but just held ground thereafter. |
7 | 5 | JOLLY GOOD FORTUNE (CD274) | B Prebble | B/TT | Fast away, pressed on to race outside leader, did share of work with solid pace on, continued challenging on turning in, run ended at 200 M and faded out thereafter. |
8 | 7 | SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) | H W Lai | V | Began with field, struggled with early pace, raced 4 wide 5Ls back, gradually improved without cover on bend, emptied at 200 M when hard run took toll. |
9 | 3 | SPRING SUN (CJ128) | D Beadman | CP1/TT1 | Moderate jump, ended up 6Ls or so away on rails, always rearward to bend, closed at one pace in straight. (Jockey reported flat and didn't handle track.) |
10 | 11 | REUNION (CE258) | K L Chui | TT | Fastest out, led easily before taking a trail after 300 M, had a reasonable run to bend, unable to respond when they sprinted and struggled from 300 M. |
11 | 10 | GOOD DISHES (CJ224) | Y T Cheng | -- | Began only fairly, ended up back with last few 5 to 6Ls away in running line, suited by tempo in mid-section, still well back turning, didn't close off in straight. |
12 | 2 | SHANGDONG GENERAL (CH077) | C K Tong | -- | Standard jump, failed to muster, raced 3 wide 5 to 6Ls back throughout, still sharing tail on bend, lacked a finish in straight. (Jockey reported didn't appreciate racing behind horses.) |
