Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | SURE GAIN (CJ038) | W C Marwing | H1/TT1 | Nice trail 3Ls back in 5th with cover 1200 M out, popped out 3-wide no cover 700 M out when 1L back, upsides 200 M out, all out to hang on. |
2 | 10 | NOBLE TWINS (CH257) | W M Lai | B | Enjoyed the run of the race about 2Ls back in 3rd or so until straightening, stayed on well in the finish but couldn't quite overhaul the winner. |
3 | 6 | GENIUS MASTER (CJ117) | K C Leung | SR | On the leader's back on fence 2Ls off in 4th or so through to final turn, given every possible chance to win, did enough to place. |
4 | 8 | ALL FOR ONE (CH180) | J Winks | -- | Looped field to lead on fence 1400 M out, set sensible pace, clear by no more than 1L until last turn, joined 200 M out, no real excuse for not placing. |
5 | 2 | OCTAGONAL CANYON (CJ055) | D Whyte | -- | 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls or so from the speed until the last turn when with place prospects, no pick-up and always held through the final 300 M. |
6 | 1 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | P H Lo | CP | Awkward start, 10th initially about 7Ls from the lead, 5Ls last at the 600 M, not suited by tempo and ran on past a few spent rivals only. |
7 | 4 | DECENT FELLOW (CH021) | B Prebble | B/H/TT | Off the bit at halfway as usual when worse than midfield, 5Ls back in 9th turning for home, no impression, flat performance. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
8 | 11 | GLOBAL WAY (CG158) | H W Lai | V | Slow out and keen at first, wide without cover before slipping into 'one-out-one-back' spot at 1200 M, a neck 2nd off last turn, faded out tamely. |
9 | 5 | REAL REJOICING (CH202) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Very slow to muster early pace in rear, 4Ls or so back in 8th at halfway, soon came off the bit again and very weak in the final two furlongs. |
10 | 7 | SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) | Z Purton | TT | Raced 3 and 4-back on the rails around midfield and about 4Ls from the speed until the last bend, found nothing off the bridle. |
11 | 12 | SUPER POWER (CH117) | M Chadwick | TT | Always rearward, 5Ls last at the 800 M and widest off final bend, offered nothing. |
12 | 3 | KEEN SPIRIT (CJ022) | J Lloyd | CP1/TT | 8Ls last at 1200 M, pressed on out 4-wide no cover down back straight but hung out and laboured on the circle, gone off the home turn. |
