Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | EXCELLENT BOY (CE238) | O Doleuze | P | Settled around midfield out 3-wide but with cover, 4Ls down into home straight, nice turn of foot to lead 50 M out despite hanging in, kept on. |
2 | 7 | SUNNY KING (CH105) | E Saint-Martin | XB/H/TT | 4Ls or 5Ls adrift in midfield with cover before the last corner, dashed home well but couldn't quite reel in the winner inside final 50 M. |
3 | 3 | HAWKES BAY (CG064) | B Prebble | XB | Great run having been 3-wide no cover throughout, prominent before home turn and led 300 M out, headed at the 50 M, joined for a place. |
3 | 10 | SIGHT WINNER (CJ049) | D Whyte | -- | Tracked leaders from midfield in 3-wide position, over 2Ls down in 6th turning for home, kept on well but never likely to reach quinella pair. |
5 | 5 | CALIFORNIAMOUNTAIN (CG310) | K T Yeung | TT | Sent to the front from wide gate, led on fence by 1L at the 1000 M, headed 300 M out and one-paced final 200 M. |
6 | 11 | FEARLESS (CH301) | F Coetzee | B | Slowly away, on rails 6Ls back in 10th at halfway, 4Ls down off last bend, without clear room at the 200 M, might have finished a little closer. |
7 | 12 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | C W Wong | TT | Slowly away but recovered to box-seat in 3rd from 1000 M to home turn, outpaced by the principals shortly afterwards. |
8 | 1 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | G Boss | CP | Raced prominently in 5th about 3Ls behind leader until final bend, pressured and looked held when hampered 150 M out, yielded ground. |
9 | 9 | TOP HONOR (CE183) | G Mosse | -- | 8Ls last at 1200 M, edged a little closer in 12th off final turn but failed to make much of an impact. |
10 | 2 | BULLISH CASH (CH049) | K L Chui | TT | 7Ls last early on, 5Ls down in 10th and trying to quicken up on straightening, couldn't live with most of those in front. |
11 | 6 | TIBER (CD155) | D Beadman | XB/TT | 3-back on fence in midfield no worse than 4Ls from the speed until home turn, couldn't take advantage. |
12 | 14 | LUCKYME (CH012) | M Du Plessis | TT | Keen early on and restrained to race near rear by middle stages, 5Ls down near tail of field off last bend, never likely to land a blow. (Tactic questioned.) |
13 | 8 | SYLLABUS (CD388) | H W Lai | B/TT | Towards rear throughout, 7Ls last and struggling turning for home, very much outpaced. |
14 | 13 | SUPER TRAVELLER (CH275) | Z Purton | -- | Flanked pacesetter out 2-wide and 1L back down back straight, still close-up turning for home but swamped before the 200 M. |
