Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | LET ME FIGHT (CL176) | D Beadman | H | Settled midfield in a strongly run race, angled into clear nearing 400M, swiftly moved to the front with 200M to go, kicked nicely clear and won in good style. |
2 | 2 | BERIO (CJ202) | K C Leung | V | Began well, bagged the rail and sat 3Ls behind runaway leader, made a bold bid 300M but couldn't match the pace of the winner, weakened final 100M and just held on for 2nd. |
3 | 3 | CERISE CHERRY (CL141) | Y T Cheng | B | Caught 3-wide in the group chasing the pace, kept on steadily inside final 200M to take 3rd close home. |
4 | 12 | PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) | T H So | TT | Sat handily in 2nd 3Ls off the strong pace, held every chance but lacked extra pace to challenge the winner, battled on to the line and narrowly missed out on a minor placing. |
5 | 9 | SEEK N' DESTROY (CL221) | D Whyte | -- | Towards the rear 3-wide, had plenty to do turning in, made a short lived effort then turned flat final 150M. (Jockey reported his horse hung in and proved difficult to ride.) |
6 | 14 | SUNRISE (CK026) | M Du Plessis | H | Reserved off the pace, 9Ls to make up passing 400M, ran on strongly in straight making some late impression. |
7 | 13 | SUNSEEKER (CL161) | O Doleuze | B/TT | 4-wide at the rear early, moved closer to midfield passing 900M, hung in under pressure in straight and couldn't find extra gear. |
8 | 1 | ABLE SPEED (CK210) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Began awkwardly, kept wide in midfield early but was able to tuck in before home turn, driven nearing 400M, kept on without threatening. |
9 | 10 | HELENE WITTY (CL228) | M Chadwick | TT | Dropped back to a position behind midfield, saved ground on the inside but couldn't find the extra pace to challenge. |
10 | 6 | DANZULU (CJ069) | B Prebble | B | In mid-division early but got shuffled back passing 1000M, moved away from the fence 450M but found less than expected in the drive home. |
11 | 4 | ROYAL FLUSH (CK184) | W C Marwing | XB/TT | Fractious in stalls and very slowly away, ended up with last few about 10Ls off the strong pace, couldn't pick up off the bend and ran home one paced. |
12 | 7 | SURVEY SURVEY (CH070) | K W Leung | XB/TT | Towards the rear, driven 450M but no progress, never a factor. |
13 | 8 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | M L Yeung | V/TT | Behind midfield and lacked further response on straightening, eased. |
14 | 11 | BULLISH KING (CL304) | H W Lai | B/TT | Driven to the lead but would not settle, set a blistering pace in front and built up a 3Ls lead, got tired and weakened rapidly passing 300M. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
