Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | NICE FOLKS (CL421) | W C Marwing | H/CP/TT- | Assumed ideal spot 1 out 1 back, close to slow pace throughout, took advantage and made a 3 wide move approaching bend, duelled with favourite final 200m and just prevailed. |
2 | 6 | NEW VISION (M028) | D Whyte | -- | Prominent from outset, pressed on to race first outside leader in running line, had terms to suit with slow speed, took front at 300M and fought strongly but just caught on line. |
3 | 2 | LOMBARDI (CK406) | G Mosse | B | Posted 3 wide in midfield from an awkward draw, no cover 4Ls back on circle but steady pace helped, kept finding in straight for a respectable 3rd. |
4 | 4 | AMITYSHIP (CK023) | C Y Ho | B | Out in line, drove up behind them for an ideal spot on rails, on leaders back approaching bend, kept finding in straight to make frame. |
5 | 8 | BURGUNDY MAC (M205) | W M Lai | SR | Settled behind midfield on rails, 6Ls or so back throughout, pace harmed chances in mid section, ran on well to be nearest on line. |
6 | 5 | SADDLERS LODGE (CL406) | D Beadman | B/SR | Fair to begin, raced in midfield on rails, 5Ls or so back not suited by the pace, angled wider turning and looked a brief place hope but couldn’t find extra inside 200m. |
7 | 12 | SPLENDID CHAMPION (CL041) | G Cheyne | TT | Led briefly before taking a trail, all favours with slow speed, made bid at 400m and took front, couldn’t dash with principals and tired final furlong. |
8 | 11 | LEO'S PRIDE (CK094) | M W Leung | B | Moderate beginning, soon at rear, 8-9Ls back with pace against, took inside runs turning and closed OK despite harmed by the way race was run. |
9 | 3 | HAPPY SEVEN (CK155) | M Du Plessis | B | Showed usual speed to take up running, set slow terms to suit, no fight from bend and was disappointing. |
10 | 10 | EAGLE SPIRIT (CL326) | Y T Cheng | TT | Drifted back nearer to rear, 2 wide 8-9Ls back, slow tempo against in mid section, made some progress but couldn’t make much impression given circumstances. |
11 | 7 | FOREST STAR (CJ167) | J Lloyd | TT | Angled into midfield spot in running line from an awkward alley, race not run to suit with slow tempo, made no real impression (roarer). |
12 | 1 | MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) | C K Tong | B/H | No early pace, 3 wide at rear with cover 9Ls back, disadvantaged by pace, never a factor. |
13 | 13 | PRECISION MAGIC (CJ262) | M L Yeung | V | 3 wide behind midfield, had cover 7-8Ls back, pace against in mid section but didn’t respond at all in straight. |
