Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) | M Chadwick | -- | Always in touch, loomed up alongside the eventual 2nd 300 M out, kept on strongly to score under top weight. |
2 | 6 | BUNDLE O' GOLD (CJ311) | B Prebble | -- | Quickly into stride and prominently placed in a position towards the stands' rail, collared by the eventual winner near 300 M but kept battling to the line. Narrowly beaten. |
3 | 9 | BOSS (CK216) | W C Marwing | H1 | Slightly slow out, gradually improved to be 2Ls behind leader passing 400 M, stuck on well to claim 3rd in what was a promising debut. |
4 | 4 | SUPERIOR UNIT (CJ045) | K L Chui | B/TT | Settled in mid-division on the outside of field, picked up OK in the final 400 M although unable to match the principals. |
5 | 8 | PLAN B (CJ123) | Z Purton | TT | Took cover in midfield 3Ls off the pace, ran on steadily inside 300 M but couldn't really threaten the first three. |
6 | 7 | BOOMING CITY (CE325) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Held a midfield position on the stands' rail 3Ls back, couldn't go with the leaders as tempo quickened inside 400 M, remained one-paced to the finish. |
7 | 2 | BLAZE KING (CK104) | K T Yeung | -- | Went forward to set a decent pace down the middle of track, had every chance but not able to sustain run when the race got serious, headed near 300 M and gradually weakened in the run to the line. |
8 | 3 | HEARTLINE (CJ330) | W M Lai | B/TT | Well enough away and was handily placed behind leaders, didn't find a change in pace when asked, weakened inside 200 M. |
9 | 12 | SOLAR MIGHTY (CH124) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Began awkwardly and lost ground, rushed along to a position behind midfield 4Ls behind leader, found very little when placed under pressure, no extra passing 200 M. |
10 | 5 | TAN TAT BABY (CH315) | O Doleuze | -- | Assumed a rearward position one off the stands' rail, shaken up passing 500 M but failed to respond, eased close home. (Mucus.) |
11 | 13 | CHATER POWER (CG312) | S K Sit | B/TT | Standard jump, raced in the rear against the stands' rail, 6Ls down inside 400 M but never picked up at any stage. |
12 | 11 | HAPPY CAGA (CJ331) | H W Lai | V1 | Settled in a prominent position just off the pace, unable to keep up from 400 M, folded rapidly passing 200 M. (Subsequently retired.) |
