Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | SMART CURRENCY (CJ222) | K L Chui | TT | Within 1L of the pace in 3rd or so until the 200 M, found just enough under pressure to lead inside final strides, should appreciate further. |
2 | 2 | SHY BALDY (CH168) | H W Lai | TT | Crowded at the start and 6Ls in arrears early on, headway to go 1L off pace at 200 M, kept on well and only just foiled by the winner. |
3 | 6 | NOBLE DE LAGO (CJ150) | K T Yeung | TT | Always on the pace, vying for the lead 300 M out and only just passed by the quinella pair inside final 100 M. |
4 | 1 | HOT PEPPER (CJ236) | K C Leung | TT | 2Ls off the speed in 3rd or 4th early, stayed on pretty well and wasn't far away at the wire. |
5 | 3 | GIVE WELL (CJ109) | Y T Cheng | H1 | One from rear about 7Ls off early pace, furthest across the track at halfway, good progress inside final furlong, nearest at finish. |
6 | 12 | WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) | F Coetzee | TT | In second half of the field about 4Ls or 5Ls back until home straight, retrieved some nice late ground without quite threatening principals. |
7 | 11 | TOPBRIDGE (CJ025) | O Doleuze | -- | Always niggled along the stands' rail in midfield, hard ridden at halfway, held up about 100 M out, stayed on again but not enough time to recover. |
8 | 14 | GANBARIA (CE052) | C K Tong | B/TT | 4Ls down in midfield initially, closer but all out to make an impact at furlong pole, could only hold his ground to conclude. |
9 | 8 | BRAVE SPIRIT (CJ258) | D Beadman | TT1 | Midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace through to the furlong pole, always held. |
10 | 13 | JOLLY BIRD (CJ154) | C W Wong | -- | Under pressure at halfway in mid-division, made a little late ground without posing any particular menace. |
11 | 4 | MESOHAPPY (CJ317) | M Du Plessis | -- | Set the pace on the fence but headed 150 M out and dropped away thereafter. |
12 | 5 | METRO RIDER (CJ264) | W C Marwing | -- | Tame debut, bounded at the start, never travelled well and always detached of the main group. |
13 | 7 | RAINBOW STAR (CJ275) | Z Purton | -- | Poor debut, crowded at start and soon 8Ls adrift, never on terms. |
14 | 10 | TERTIARY CHAMPION (CJ007) | B Prebble | -- | Fractious in gates and almost unseated rider as the gates opened, left a long way behind at the start and virtually took no part. |
