Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | STRATHMORE (S206) | C Schofield | B/TT | Began well and handily placed behind the early leader, 1 off the fence. Well placed on the turn, and got the nose in front at the 50m. Did just enough to hold off two fast finishing placegetters. |
2 | 9 | ACCEPTED (T291) | C Y Ho | H | Began only fairly before finding a position forward of midfield, on the rail. Became unsettled and checked off heels 800m. Gave the winner 2L on the turn, but chased hard to go down a diminishing 0.3L at the wire. |
3 | 12 | BERLINI (P359) | T H So | H | Dropped back from the wide barrier to sit last, on the rail with cover. 10L last and left with plenty to do on the turn. Showed a great turn of foot, and finished off strongly, despite being awkwardly placed last 50m. |
4 | 3 | CHARITY JOY (P278) | N Callan | B/TT | Pushed out to be the early leader, before eventually being crossed at the 600m. Ran on well in the straight, just fading late and missing a place by the barest of margins. |
5 | 8 | ALL GREAT FRIENDS (S279) | G Mosse | -- | Began well, but stuck 3 wide forward of midfield before pushing forward to lead at the 800m. Still in control at the 150m, but peaked soon after and swamped late. |
6 | 1 | EROICO (T009) | J Moreira | B | Jumped out the best of them before being eased to find cover, midfield 1 off the fence. Came wider on the turn, and responded well early in the straight, before flattening out late. |
7 | 7 | SAN NICASIO (T398) | Y T Cheng | H | OK away and found a position midfield, on the rails. Lay in down the straight, and never fully tested over the last 100m. |
8 | 5 | WHY WHY (P372) | Z Purton | B/TT1 | Dropped back from the jump to sit just forward of the back markers, on the rail. Plugged away late to be only 2.3L off the winner, but still well beaten. |
9 | 6 | PRECISION KING (P134) | K C Ng | P | Began well and handily placed behind the early leader, on the rail. One paced the trip, and easily passed in the straight. |
10 | 10 | BIG FOUR (P102) | K C Leung | H | Dropped back early to be near the tail of the field, 1 off the fence. Unsettled early and was forced 4-5 wide at the 800m. Unlucky at the top of the straight, and taken widest. Too much to do late and never in it. |
11 | 4 | HARBOUR PUNK (S262) | K Teetan | XB | Dropped back from the wide draw to sit at the rear of the field, 1 off the fence. Gave nothing in the straight, and plugged to the line. |
12 | 11 | HAPPY BAO BEI (S172) | R Fourie | H/TT | Began OK and steadied early to sit near midfield, 1 off the fence. Forced wider to sit 3 wide, no cover from the 800m. Widest on the turn, but never responded to any persuasion and dropped out late. |
