Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | BREAKING POINT (CJ179) | B Prebble | XB1 | Began well and sat 2-wide ahead of midfield first turn. Not hurried and dropped to midfield when others improved home turn. Shaken up and was 5Ls off on straightening. Launched a sustained challenge to cut down the leader final stride. |
2 | 7 | HEALTHY BLUEBERRY (CK222) | T H So | V | Sat behind pace on fence through to home turn. Urged from 600 M and kept chasing the runaway leader top of home straight. Hit front 150 M and looked likely to score until overhauled in the shadows of the post. |
3 | 3 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | J Lloyd | CP | Bumped at start. Raced 3-wide at midfield first turn. Left without cover at 1000 M and improved outside the field passing 800 M. Led by 3Ls at 300 M. Hung on until no extra to fend off the top pair closing stages. |
4 | 9 | BRAVO WINNER (CK035) | G Cheyne | XB/H/TT | Hampered at start. Caught 4-wide ahead of midfield first turn. Improved to sit one-off behind the pace from 1200 M. Ran on steadily in the straight without troubling the front trio. |
5 | 1 | TELECOM GOGO (CJ346) | M L Yeung | B | Soon taken to race 2-wide at rear. Moved closer 600 M. Swung 5-wide and was 7Ls away rounding home turn. Made up some ground in the straight but not threatening. |
6 | 4 | WONDERFUL GAINS (CK050) | K C Leung | -- | Soon eased towards rear on fence. Took closer order approaching 600 M. 6Ls back turning into home. One-paced to conclude. |
7 | 12 | ROYAL WARRIOR (CK317) | M Du Plessis | V1/TT | Began awkwardly. Driven to go forward but was caught wide first turn. Slotted 2-wide ahead of midfield from 1600 M. Niggled to maintain position from 700 M but couldn't turn up a notch. No headway in the straight. |
8 | 11 | FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) | W M Lai | CP | Pressed early and raced behind midfield on fence. Gradually moved away from the fence approaching home turn for running but gave very limited response when asked. Never likely. |
9 | 2 | TOP HONOR (CE183) | Y T Cheng | -- | 2 to 3-wide behind midfield. Came widest at bend. No progress in the straight. |
10 | 13 | DECENT FELLOW (CH021) | C K Tong | B/H/TT | 2 to 3-wide towards rear. Under pressure from 700 M but found nothing. Never a factor. |
11 | 6 | BATURO (CH029) | K W Leung | B- | Pressed forward from high draw and led on fence first turn. Headed at 650 M and dropped out gradually in the straight. |
12 | 10 | VISIONARIO (CJ095) | B Doyle | CP | Midfield on fence early and middle stages. Beaten top of straight. |
13 | 8 | ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) | D Whyte | B | Always at rear. No impression. |
