Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 11 | SUPERNOVA (CJ032) | M Chadwick | SR | Settled just better than midfield mainly 2-wide in 5th, carried wider turning for home, fought on well to gain upper hand narrowly. |
2 | 8 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Settled in forward of midfield on rails, switched out for a run turning for home, ran on gamely under pressure alongside eventual winner to just fail to peg him back. |
3 | 10 | YUE LU TREASURE (CJ184) | B Prebble | CP | Settled in midfield, switched out wide for a run when straightening, soon came to challenge under pressure, tended to hang in early on before responding well inside final 200 M, did best work late. |
4 | 1 | BILLION (CH316) | K C Leung | -- | Close up, tracked leader down far side, quickened to take up running coming out, held over 1L advantage turning in, unable to sustain effort and overhauled inside final 200 M. |
5 | 2 | GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) | Y T Cheng | B | Quickly ridden to cross to front, held narrow advantage until headed coming out of back straight, plugged on under pressure from 2nd turning in but swamped inside final 200 M. |
6 | 3 | LOCAL POWER (CH296) | C W Wong | -- | Began from a high draw, soon crossed for inside run but had to settle for 4th one-out-one-back, similar turning for home, finished off race okay. (Jockey warned for looking around in straight.) |
7 | 12 | AMAZING VENTURE (CJ039) | J Lloyd | -- | Soon taken back to midfield from the one draw, cropped a check and lost position approaching 1000 M bend, just worse than midfield turning in, saved ground on rails making home turn, kept on well under hands and heels in tight run. |
8 | 5 | MACHO EXPRESSO (CH261) | T H So | B | Broke well from the two draw, settled just off the pace in 3rd on rails, came under pressure turning in a 4L 4th, kept on one pace before fading inside final 200 M. |
9 | 6 | KENOBE (CH222) | Z Purton | XB | Settled well back, trailed the field to 400 M, kept on steadily without quickening. |
10 | 4 | CLASSA (CK267) | H W Lai | -- | Settled just worse than midfield, remained similar turning in, kept on steadily without quickening. |
11 | 9 | NORDIC STAR (CH302) | D Whyte | TT | Soon settled in last few from a wide barrier, went the widest runner turning into straight, made no impression. |
12 | 7 | HE CAN TANGO (CG288) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Began awkwardly, then blundered and lost position passing winning post the first time, remained well back and not in contention thereafter. |
