Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | EXECUTIVE MANDATE (S149) | K C Leung | TT | Began well, raced handily along the fence just behind leader, quickened to lead inside 200M, kept on well to hold off pursuing rivals. |
2 | 1 | ROYAL PARTNER (N394) | A Suborics | TT | Began awkwardly, guided to the fence and sat 5Ls off the pace, unable to improve position until passing 300M, charged through a narrow passage mid-straight and mounted a late challenge, just held. |
3 | 11 | WRATH OF FIRE (CL420) | C Y Ho | -- | Settled midfield along the fence, waited with till passing 300M, chased home the winner but always held. |
4 | 3 | GOOD CHOICE (P423) | M Chadwick | XB | Held up in mid-division along the 2 path, stayed on well over final 300M and pushed winner all the way to the finish, lost out on 3rd narrowly. |
5 | 12 | AGIAAL (N177) | J Moreira | CP | Eased to a 2-wide spot behind mid-division, fanned 3-wide into straight, stayed on evenly for a moderate 5th. |
6 | 9 | REDWOOD BABY (P358) | M Demuro | B/TT | Dropped back to a rearward spot 7-8Ls off the pace, switched away from fence entering home turn, closed off final 400m fastest, nearest finish. |
7 | 5 | BULLISH SMART (S221) | K C Ng | TT | Sent forward, slowed down tempo once crossed to the lead passing 1200M, kept on same pace turning in, headed inside 200M, weakened towards line. |
8 | 2 | WILLIE INVICTUS (S255) | U Rispoli | B | Never far off in 5th, 2.5L behind leader, driven out 400M, had every chance but lacked the needed response, flattened out late stages. |
9 | 4 | HOLMES LEGEND (N375) | D Whyte | H | Caught 3-wide in midfield but raced with cover, swung wide 400M, stayed on mildly and never a serious threat. |
10 | 6 | PO CHING TREASURE (S388) | N Rawiller | B | Strolled forward, tracked leader one out one back, came under pressure nearing home straight, faded out of contention passing 250M. |
11 | 7 | LEVEL PLAYER (N323) | O Doleuze | V1/TT | Switched off to the rear, not helped by slow pace middle stages, moved to 3-wide and swung widest home, ran on same pace final 300M. |
12 | 8 | TOP ACT (P435) | M Guyon | V/TT | More prominently placed than the most recent start, 3-wide and left without cover from 1200M, found disappointingly little when driven along 450M, soon dropped out of contention. |
