Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | FANTASTIC CHOICE (CJ216) | O Doleuze | -- | Began evenly, positioned nicely in running line 3 to 4Ls away, always travelling well, made a 4 wide run approaching bend, let down nicely and did it comfortably over concluding stages. |
2 | 9 | SUPER SNIPPETS (CG217) | D Whyte | B | Moderate jump as usual, ended up 4Ls away on rails behind midfield, back between runners on bend, followed winner in straight, clear final 150 M and did best work late. |
3 | 10 | VALUE CHOICE (CG213) | K T Yeung | B | Fast away, used up early to lead, steadied tempo once in front, held a narrow advantage on bend, kicked on turning, overhauled at 150 M but stuck on gamely for placing. |
4 | 1 | VICTORY CONQUEROR (CJ230) | Y T Cheng | TT | Bounced out into a prominent spot, raced 3Ls back on fence, had a soft run to bend, angled 2 wide turning, held up for a considerable distance on straightening, made nice late ground to make frame. |
5 | 2 | MACHO EXPRESSO (CH261) | W C Marwing | B | Standard jump, pressed on from a wide alley, well positioned in running line, 2Ls back, improved 3 wide on circle, kept on gamely in straight but just lacked dash last furlong. |
6 | 8 | HAPPY AMBASSADOR (CH286) | B Prebble | B | Restrained from a wide alley, ended up 5 to 6Ls away on rails towards rear, saved ground throughout and improved on inside of circle, made even progress late without threatening. |
7 | 3 | CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) | E Saint-Martin | XB1 | Began well from a low draw, had nice trail on leaders back despite some early pace, right there on turning, didn't dash but simply held ground in straight. |
8 | 6 | LASER TIGER (CG251) | K L Chui | CP | Slow into stride, ended up in running line just behind midfield 5Ls away, made a 3 wide effort on bend, continued on at same pace in straight. |
9 | 7 | TIGER RIDGE (CD084) | H W Lai | B/TT | Tardy to begin, positioned in rear division 6Ls from top end, always well back between horses to bend, lacked dash but made steady progress in straight. |
10 | 12 | WHATAFANTASY (CH267) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Taken back from awkward alley, raced 3 wide 6Ls or so away, always well back, made better progress in straight, never threatened. |
11 | 4 | WINE WIN (CG018) | G Mosse | -- | First to hit ground, worked early to hold a spot outside leader, improved to be on terms with leader on bend, folded inside 150 M. |
12 | 11 | DR POSSI (CE288) | C W Wong | -- | No speed and drifted back from a wide alley, posted 3 and 4 wide at tail 6 to 7Ls back, never likely on bend, no progress in straight. |
