Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | HAPPY GUYS (CL275) | Z Purton | B | Pressed forward from a wide alley to cross to sit behind leader, enjoyed good trial to 400m, fought back underneath 2nd horse final 100m to score upset win. |
2 | 3 | DAN EXCEL (N195) | J Lloyd | SR/H1 | Began well, a touch wide early before slotting into 1 out 1 back spot, had nice trip to bend, loomed like the winner passing 300m, kept on well but outlasted final 100m. |
3 | 10 | CARTHAGE (CL256) | W M Lai | SR/TT | Out with rest, slotted in off pace in midfield, 5-6Ls back in running line, came wider and closed off well in straight to take place. |
4 | 2 | PACKING TYCOON (N010) | G Mosse | TT | Angled into rearward spot from a wide alley, more than 10Ls from top end in 2 wide line, aided by tempo in mid section, closed off soundly in straight making good ground to make frame. |
5 | 9 | SAME WORLD (N098) | D Whyte | H/SR | Unable to slot in and posted 3 and 4 wide without cover behind midfield, still 6Ls down turning, kept finding and closed well given workload to be on heels of place getters. |
6 | 11 | AOMEN (N008) | M Du Plessis | B | Rolled forward and ended up leading, set reasonable sectionals in mid section, tackled at 300m, stayed on well thereafter just tiring late. |
7 | 7 | MILITARY ATTACK (N175) | N Callan | H/SR | Began fairly, drove through to take ideal slot behind leader, all favours to bend, held up turning and in traffic to 300m, closed steadily once clear but a shade flat final furlong. |
8 | 8 | JAMESINA (CH290) | K C Ng | B/TT | Standard getaway, raced in midfield 5ls back on rails, angled wider on turning, made some progress but didn't let down as usual final 200m and just held ground. |
9 | 5 | KING OF SCOTS (CK084) | U Rispoli | -- | Assumed spot in rear division, 6ls or so away in two wide line, aided by decent sectional, made some progress in straight without threatening. |
10 | 14 | HORACE'S EMPIRE (N002) | K C Leung | -- | No speed, raced in rear division on rails 8-9ls back, didn't use much in run, shifted wider in straight and closed gradually but lacked a turn of foot to figure. |
11 | 1 | LET ME HANDLE IT (CL287) | O Doleuze | -- | Slow and taken back from a tricky gate, raced 2 and 3 wide at the rear 12Ls back, same margin back to bend, made only minor ground passed beaten runners. |
12 | 13 | OLE OLE (CK301) | M L Yeung | TT | Fair getaway, positioned behind midfield, 8Ls or so from lead, not asked in mid section, one speed in straight and didn't factor. |
13 | 12 | BANKSTERS BONUS (N113) | C W Wong | B/SR | Taken back from a wide alley, raced at rear on rails more than 12Ls off lead, well back turning, made no real impression. |
14 | 6 | HELENE FUN STAR (N105) | T Clark | SR | Away smartly, took up prominent spot and ended up first without cover, right there to turn, gave in quickly and dropped right out. |
