Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | JUST FANTASTIC (CL291) | K C Ng | H | Showed plenty of speed to take up running, rolled along at a pace to suit, skipped clear turning under light weight, kept on comfortably to score a handy win. |
2 | 8 | STRAIGHT FORWARD (CL100) | B Prebble | CP/TT | Drifted back to settled near to last on rails, 7-8Ls back in run, saved ground to bend, angled clear at 300m and closed well making good ground final furlong. |
3 | 13 | ST DIDAR (CL115) | G Cheyne | B/TT | Closer than usual racing first behind leader on rails, all favours in run, forced to chase leader from bend, stayed on well for 3rd. |
4 | 11 | ENDLESS LUCK (CK033) | T H So | B/TT | Settled well back 6-7Ls away just off midfield, lost position in traffic approaching turn, switched back to inside and made gradual headway despite not clearest run. |
5 | 10 | KYARA (CL423) | D Whyte | H/XB | Began with them, pressed on but posted 3 wide without cover, 2ls or so off lead, did work wide in mid section, couldn't sustain effort and dropped off in straight. |
6 | 9 | EMPEROR CLAUDIUS (M128) | W M Lai | XB/B1 | Well enough away, assumed box seat 1 out 1 back, all favours to bend, niggled along turning and only produced a 1 paced finish. |
7 | 5 | KING AL AKBAR (CK381) | O Doleuze | H/XB/TT | Went forward to take closer order and raced first outside leader, even run in middle stages, struggling turning and faded out badly final furlong. |
8 | 2 | FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) | Z Purton | -- | Drifted back as usual, 8ls or so away early, made a 3 wide run leaving bend, made only minor ground in straight. |
9 | 1 | BLUE SKY (CJ289) | C Y Ho | PC2/H | Posted wide in behind midfield from an awkward draw, 6Ls or so back, improved mid section, no extra from bend and dropped out in straight. |
10 | 4 | FORTUNE RED PEPPER (CK199) | J Lloyd | -- | Standard getaway, angled into spot behind midfield, 6-7Ls back and further behind on bend when tempo increased, just battled away in straight. |
11 | 14 | MR BOND (M098) | H W Lai | -- | Even getaway, positioned in midfield 4Ls back in two wide line, struggled in mid section, folded tamely from bend to be beaten a long way. |
12 | 3 | MIGHTY SUN (CK058) | Y T Cheng | B | Didn't muster and take up a prominent spot as expected, raced 4 wide with cover in midfield, 5ls of more back to bend, unable to close off after hard run. |
13 | 12 | OLE OLE (CK301) | M L Yeung | TT | Reasonable break, sat 3Ls or so away on rails, ok run before severely checked at 600m, never factored thereafter. |
14 | 6 | PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) | M Chadwick | TT | Failed to muster and trapped 4 wide without cover, 3Ls or so back, worked too hard in mid section, dropped off before bend. |
