Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | BIG PROFIT (CJ169) | D Whyte | B | Enjoyed a soft trail on rails in 4th right until the home straight, nice turn of foot to lead 100 M out and pulled clear for tidy win. |
2 | 13 | AMBITIOUS OWNER (CJ106) | K T Yeung | B/TT | 3-wide no cover early, disputing the pace from 800 M home straight, a neck clear at 200 M, soon headed by winner but held 2nd comfortably. |
3 | 2 | LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) | B Prebble | TT | Handy position in 3rd about 1L or so from the front until home straight, within a neck and with every chance at 200 M, could not sustain the bid. |
4 | 3 | CLASSIC REUNION (CH166) | Y T Cheng | B/SR | Better than midfield about 3Ls or so from the speed until home straight, had his chance to at least place but failed to take advantage. |
5 | 12 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | M Du Plessis | XB/CP1/TT | Taken back, 6Ls back towards rear early on, further behind on straightening, made some late ground, never nearer. (Tactic questioned.) |
6 | 11 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | H W Lai | TT | Midfield about 3Ls back early on, over 4Ls back turning for home, one-paced and posed little threat from then on. |
7 | 7 | TOPBRIDGE (CJ025) | O Doleuze | -- | 4Ls or 5Ls back and no better than midfield until home straight, never likely to take a hand in the finish. |
8 | 5 | AMAZING VENTURE (CJ039) | F Coetzee | -- | 4Ls back slightly worse than midfield initially but unable to get closer taking home turn, held up until the 200 M but couldn't improve once clear. |
9 | 1 | HANNAH KING PRAWN (CJ178) | K L Chui | TT | 4-wide without cover from the 800 M when 2Ls back in 4th, further back off last bend and steadily slipped out of contention. |
10 | 8 | DASH (CG236) | W M Lai | B | Midfield and wide but with cover about 4Ls behind in middle stages, struggling to make an impact at last bend, continued to yield ground. |
11 | 9 | NATURAL FATCHOY (CG282) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Never travelled well, 3-back along rails and always niggled along until home straight, never landed a blow. |
12 | 14 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | P H Lo | SR/V | Crossed to lead on fence down back straight, a neck down at top of home straight and soon swamped. |
13 | 4 | CONQUEROR (CE270) | S K Sit | V | 7Ls last leaving the back straight and further behind on straightening, never on terms. |
14 | 10 | KA KA SMART (CG042) | Z Purton | B/H | Failed to muster any early dash, one from rear about 6Ls back at halfway, very laboured throughout and posed no threat whatsoever. |
