Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | AMBITIOUS OWNER (CJ106) | K C Leung | B/XB/TT | 2Ls back in 3rd at halfway, progressed to lead 200 M out and all out to hang onto the win. |
2 | 12 | BRAVE SPIRIT (CJ258) | M Chadwick | CP2/TT | 3-wide no cover down back straight when 3Ls back in 4th and same on straightening, stayed on well and just missed out, better over further. |
3 | 14 | SEIZE THE DAY (CJ152) | T H So | B | Soon led on fence and 1L clear until straightening, headed around 200 M out and lost 2nd close home. |
4 | 10 | SPARKLING (CK149) | K T Yeung | B- | 4-back the fence 6Ls behind early pace and only marginally closer spinning for home, responded well to pressure, nearest at the finish. (Tactic questioned.) |
5 | 5 | KING OF HEARTS (CK214) | D Beadman | XB/H | Over-raced a little down back straight in midfield, with 4Ls to make up off last corner, made up a little late ground but no genuine threat. |
6 | 4 | MY WAY (CJ203) | W C Marwing | B | Not travelling well early on in rear, 8Ls last at halfway, 6Ls adrift turning for home, recovered good late ground when the race was over. (Tactic questioned.) |
7 | 1 | KING FAY FAY (CH089) | Z Purton | -- | 4Ls back in 5th at halfway and same margin back in 6th turning for home, kept on at the same speed. |
8 | 3 | GREAT SUPREME (CJ027) | Y T Cheng | -- | Enjoyed a cushy trip in 2nd on fence and 1L off pace through to last turn, no excuse for picking up better after that soft run. |
9 | 13 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | M Du Plessis | -- | 3-back the rails about 4Ls off pace at halfway, 3Ls down turning for home, couldn't get any closer. |
10 | 6 | GOOD TIME CHARLIE (CJ207) | W M Lai | P/H/TT | Went back from widest gate, at least 6Ls off pace out wide through to final bend, very one-paced. |
11 | 11 | BE MY SONG (CH272) | S K Sit | B-/H | Didn't press forward as is often the case, worse than midfield throughout at least 5Ls from the speed, no danger. (Tactic questioned.) |
12 | 7 | SURE GOOD (CJ240) | J Winks | B | 4-back the fence and 5Ls off speed through to final bend, never likely to make an impact. |
13 | 9 | WINNING PAL (CJ138) | C K Tong | CP1/TT | Always one from the rear at least 6Ls from the front, never a factor. |
14 | 8 | GOSHAWK (CK144) | J Lloyd | -- | Always rearward at least 7Ls from the speed. |
