Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | BROTHERS IN ARMS (CJ070) | W C Marwing | CP | Showed speed, took sit behind leaders, had every hope in run, 2 to 3Ls back on turning, responded well to hard riding to drive up and take lead at 100 M, scored with a bit in hand. |
2 | 12 | SMART CHOICE (CK368) | T H So | -- | Lost ground at jump, mustered to race 3 wide behind speed 3 to 5Ls off pace, had cover to bend, switched wider turning in, did best work late to snare 2nd. |
3 | 11 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | M Du Plessis | BO | Fair beginning, raced midfield 4 to 5Ls away, improved 3 wide on turning, made gradual headway in straight, just lost 2nd late. |
4 | 5 | POS TRUMPS (CH295) | K C Leung | BO | No early pace, ended up well back on fence, 6 to 7Ls off speed, used little to bend, switched out to middle turning, made some late headway to make frame. |
5 | 6 | LUCKY PRINCE (CK285) | M Chadwick | TT | Amongst first few to break, pressed on and took up lead, raced 2Ls clear throughout, kicked on turning and kept on to 100 M before run ended. |
6 | 3 | SILENT DRAGON (CG200) | C W Wong | CP/XB | Began well, unable to slot in and forced to travel 3 wide without cover, 2Ls back, used too much in mid-section, spent force by 200 M. |
7 | 2 | GLENEALY ELITE (CJ034) | B Prebble | B/XB | Standard jump, ridden up to hold spot 3Ls back tracking speed, fair run to bend, moved wide on turning, lacked a pick up and just battled late (reluctant to stride out). |
8 | 10 | MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) | S K Sit | -- | Moderate beginning, ended up 4 wide behind midfield 6Ls back, always working wide without cover, ran out of petrol at 300 M when hard run took toll. |
9 | 1 | MAGIC SWEEP (CH299) | D Whyte | B | Out in line, faded back from an awkward alley, ended up 3 wide 7Ls back sharing rear, had cover to bend, lacked usual close and made no impression late. |
10 | 8 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | Z Purton | B-/PC2/TT | Standard jump, settled in midfield, had every hope 3 to 4Ls off lead, lacked pick up in straight and struggled to line. (Blood in trachea.) |
11 | 7 | TAIJI SPIRIT (CD185) | B Doyle | V/TT | Slow into stride, settled further back then usual 7Ls or so from top end, never really likely and struggled in run home. |
12 | 9 | KARBRIDGE (CK251) | C K Tong | -- | Out smartly, held spot 1L off leader first without cover, niggled along on bend, gave in easily in straight. |
