Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 14 | CLASSIC EMPEROR (T193) | D Whyte | B | Vigorously ridden to lead, crossing to fence then set steady pace. Kicked 3L clear soon after straightening and never challenged. |
2 | 1 | ENORMOUS HONOUR (T236) | B Prebble | B | Began fairly, made up ground along rail to sit 3-back before turn. Not much room top of straight but motored home nicely when clear final 300m. |
3 | 12 | PO CHING TREASURE (S388) | H N Wong | CP/TT | Pressed forward, racing wide to 1200m before rolling forward to sit 1L behind leader. Caught flat-footed 450m when leader kicked but boxed on gamely. |
4 | 9 | TOP ACE (T199) | V Cheminaud | SR-/CP1 | Hard ridden early to sit outside leader before easing one-back, one-off before turn. Looked a chance when loomed entering straight but then only one-paced. |
5 | 2 | RED DANCER (P264) | T H So | P/TT | Bumped start, not pushed, settling along rail 4-back from leader. Improved position around turn, took inside run in straight, kept on fairly. |
6 | 11 | FUNNY BUDDIES (T300) | C Y Ho | H | Jumped with field but over-raced back stretch between horses. Held up for run early in straight, steadied 200m, one-paced. |
7 | 7 | TERRIFIC MASTER (P436) | K C Ng | TT | Began well, tightened and unbalanced 1300m dropping to midfield but wide without cover. Covered extra ground turn, one-paced in straight. |
8 | 8 | HAPPILABABY (T315) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Began awkwardly, ridden but slow to muster, then checked 1400m, dropping towards rear but 3-wide. Taken wider in straight but found little under hard riding. |
9 | 13 | UNBEATABLE GUTS (S231) | K C Leung | V | Shifted across behind runners from wide draw and in last pair on settling. Clear last entering straight, ran past beaten horses final stages. |
10 | 6 | SUPER TALENT (S344) | C Schofield | B/TT | Began well, pressed forward, taking box seat to turn. Got split top of straight but shifted out 200m and bumped, before fading final 100m. |
11 | 5 | CHARITY KINGDOM (S278) | G Mosse | XB | Ridden to hold forward position but caught 3-wide without cover 4L from leader passing 1000m. Gave ground steadily in straight. |
12 | 4 | VICTORY MASTER (M148) | M L Yeung | B | Shifted across behind runners from an outside draw and last on rail on settling. Never likely. |
13 | 3 | COLOSSUS (T170) | N Callan | H/TT | Bumped start, slow to muster, then checked 900m, dropping behind midfield. Gave ground around turn and tired quickly in straight. |
