Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) | M Chadwick | -- | Slowest away, raced 4-back on rails initially, crept closer to go just over 2Ls back in 5th turning in, responded well for pressure to lead inside final 50 M. . |
2 | 4 | CHEEKY LAD (CG198) | B Prebble | B | Nicely placed on rails in 3rd at the 1000 M, moved closer off last turn and led over 300 M out, was ground down by the winner inside the final 50 M. |
3 | 11 | LIONS' FORTUNE (CJ114) | M W Leung | H/TT | 9Ls last at 1000 M but improved on the circle to be 4Ls back in midfield off last corner, stayed on well for 3rd without quite tackling quinella pair. |
4 | 12 | ROYAL DOMAIN (CH287) | R Fradd | -- | Towards rear 6Ls off early speed, 5Ls down on straightening, didn't quicken up sufficiently to place, all out to grab a moderate 4th. |
5 | 6 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | D Whyte | B | Midfield on the rails down the back straight, briefly tight for room when challenging 2Ls off pace at top of home straight, one-paced when clear. |
6 | 2 | MY WHISKY (CK071) | K C Leung | -- | Led by 1L on rails before handing up and box-seating from 800 M to home turn when briefly leading, soon headed and one-paced to wrap up. |
7 | 5 | MASSIVE STAR (CJ126) | C W Wong | B/H | Worked very hard out wide no cover to lead by 2Ls on rails at the 800 M, headed just before the final bend and steadily fell away. |
8 | 3 | SOHNA (CG183) | Z Purton | B/TT | 5Ls off pace in 8th at the 800 M, over 2Ls down turning for home, didn't find much under pressure and beaten 200 M out. |
9 | 7 | SEVENS HEAVEN (CE175) | K T Yeung | CP/XB/TT | Slowly away, worse than midfield trapped 4-wide no cover from the 800 M, 5-wide (widest of all) into straight, extra work took its toll. |
10 | 13 | LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) | Y T Cheng | TT | Awkwardly away, worse than midfield when checked at the 800 M back to 12th about 7Ls off speed, never on terms. |
11 | 10 | GLITTERING (CJ343) | M Du Plessis | B1 | Very keen while hanging out down the back straight when rearward, 8Ls adrift turning for home, lost further ground, poor. |
12 | 8 | ICE FIRE (CJ272) | W C Marwing | -- | Caught 3-wide no cover down the back straight when 4Ls off pace in 6th or so, worse off spinning for home, dropped out very rapidly. |
13 | 9 | FLORAL IMAGE (CK027) | W M Lai | XB1/TT | Handy better-than-midfield position 4Ls off pace at 800 M, struggling to lie up turning for home, ceded ground very rapidly. |
14 | 14 | SUPERB GAINS (CJ058) | C K Tong | TT | Close-up in 4th about 3Ls off pace at the 1000 M, soon began to back-pedal, hung in while dropping out from top of home straight, to trial. |
