Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 11 | JOYFUL TRINITY (V110) | J Moreira | -- | Not used early, settling worse than midfield, 1 off the fence. Came wider at the top of the straight for a run. Progressed quickly from the 200m, despite shifting in, and went to the line under no urging and with plenty in hand. |
2 | 2 | BEAUTY ONLY (S411) | Z Purton | H/TT | Dropped back to sit last, 3-4 wide early, before moving to the fence at 900m. Not vigorously ridden in the straight, and finished off last 150m strongly despite only being pushed hands and heels. |
3 | 4 | BEAUTY FLAME (S117) | M Chadwick | TT | Pushed out early to share the lead into an early speed dual, before dropping back to sit 1 off, 1 back. Peaking late, and just held onto 3rd from a fast finishing field. |
4 | 10 | ROMANTIC TOUCH (S393) | C Y Ho | TT | Settled around midfield, 3-4 wide with limited cover. Looked gone at 150m, but showed good pace late to figure in a tight finish and just missed a place. |
5 | 1 | CONTENTMENT (S391) | B Prebble | P | Taken forward early to settle 3rd. Over raced through the middle stages, and came 3 wide off heels at 700m. Ran solidly in the straight, just missing a place in a blanket finish. |
6 | 7 | HORSE OF FORTUNE (T118) | K K Chiong | -- | Taken forward early to be handily placed in 4th, but 3 wide with no cover. Forced into a 4 wide position at the 700m. Ran well in the straight, and hampered at 200m. Peaked in the last 20m. |
7 | 8 | DASHING FELLOW (S284) | K C Leung | B | Challenged for the lead early, before claiming it outright at the 1000m. Used up all his bullets by the 400m, and gradually faded out of contention. |
8 | 6 | SECRET WEAPON (S217) | D Whyte | B/TT | Eased forward early, sitting just forward of the last pair. Plugged away fairly in the straight. Slightly off heels at 100, but never likely to make an impression. |
9 | 5 | PACKING PINS (S386) | C Schofield | -- | Dropped back early to sit towards the rear of the field, 3 wide with cover. 1 paced to the line and never progressed. |
10 | 3 | HELENE PARAGON (V167) | S Clipperton | H/XB | Taken up early to sit forward of midfield, on the fence. Well positioned in the straight, but never ran on. |
11 | 9 | HELENE SUPER STAR (S152) | K C Ng | CP/TT | Began well before dropping back to sit in the last pair, 3 wide with limited cover. Plugged away and never a threat. |
12 | 12 | BRILLIANT SHINE (S099) | T H So | TT | Cruised forward early, settling around midfield, 1 off the fence. Raced keen midrace, and awkward on heels at 900m. Had nothing left in the straight, and eased out late. |
