Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | RACING HERO (N157) | O Doleuze | SR1 | Began well enough, tracked leader on rails 2Ls back, all favours to bend, burst through gap turning and gained a 1L margin, held this comfortably in run to line. |
2 | 5 | G-ONE WINNING (M392) | D Whyte | -- | Began well, took up a prominent spot 1 out 1 back, always within striking distance to bend, made challenge soon after turning and came into in strongly but unable to wear down margin final 100m. |
3 | 4 | KEEN WONGCHOY (CL223) | A Suborics | B/H/TT | Drifted back from a wide alley, raced 3 wide at rear 7Ls back, improved approaching bend, displayed best close and made good progress despite hanging as usual, probably costing him 2nd. |
4 | 7 | HAPPY HA HA (M381) | M L Yeung | -- | Standard beginning, raced in midfield on rails 4-5Ls back, easy time to bend, took inside runs and made some good progress late to make frame. |
5 | 9 | EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) | K C Leung | B | Showed usual speed, took up lead although shaded by horse on outside on circle, !l clear turning, soon headed but stayed on well to just miss frame. |
6 | 3 | VICTORY MASTER (M148) | K C Ng | -- | Even getaway, raced 3 wide with cover just off speed, 3Ls back to bend, made run wider but unable to find extra gear, just kept on at same pace late. |
7 | 11 | XILAI XIANZI (N088) | U Rispoli | TT | Dropped back to last from outside draw, 7-8Ls away, still last turning, came widest in straight and closed well to be nearest on line. |
8 | 1 | LUNAR REFLECTIONS (CL009) | H W Lai | B | Fair getaway, positioned in midfield 3 wide with cover 4-5Ls back, forced wider rounding bend, kept to task and closed off ok despite not really threatening. |
9 | 12 | SUMMER DASH (M105) | J Lloyd | B- | Fair jump, raced 5Ls back in running line just off midfield, no excuses in run, didn't quicken in straight and just held ground in run to line. |
10 | 10 | TOM'S EIGHTH (CL087) | M Du Plessis | B-/TT | Tardy into stride, taken down to rear from a wide gate, 7Ls or so away, always well back, saved ground along rails and made some minor progress. |
11 | 14 | VIVA GUY (CK318) | T H So | -- | Average break, settled back with last few from a tricky draw, 7Ls back in running line, made no impression in straight. |
12 | 2 | TOUCH GO (CL254) | B Prebble | -- | Began with rest, settled midfield racing two wide, no excuses in mid section, didn't let down in straight finding extra trip too much of a task. |
13 | 6 | CITY POWER (M066) | C K Tong | B/SR | Even getaway, went on with it but posted 3 wide without cover, worked hard up with leaders to bend, folded from 300m after hard run. |
14 | 13 | PHAEDO (N150) | Y T Cheng | SR | Showed speed, pressed on to challenge for front shading leader on circle, did share of work to turn, soon capitulated after using too much early. |
