Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | INVINCIBLE DRAGON (V166) | J Moreira | H | Away well, prominent early before dropping back midfield, 1 off the fence. Strong down the outside and looked like he would clear out in the straight. Struggled once he got the lead at 150m, just ground the win late. |
2 | 1 | JOLLY BANNER (V077) | C Schofield | -- | Taken up from the wide draw to be well placed 3rd, 1 off the fence. Lead at 300m, before being tackled at 150m. Pushed winner all the way to the line, and just missed late. |
3 | 2 | NEW ASIA SUNRISE (T268) | K Teetan | -- | Taken up early, before easing back slightly to be 4th/5th, 1 off the fence. Ran solidly in the straight to hold a clear 3rd, but no hope of getting the first 2. |
4 | 11 | SPICY SURE (T234) | A Badel | TT | Began awkwardly, but quickly recovered to be handily placed 4th/5th on the fence. Held up early in the straight, before getting a clear run from 300m. Ran solidly, until peaking last 50m and dropping out of place contention. |
5 | 12 | MAGICAL BEAUTY (T342) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Didn't muster early and got back, before eventually pressing forward to sit midfield on the rail by 1000m. Ridden for luck in the straight, and progressed well late when given the opportunity to stretch out. |
6 | 10 | FRIENDS OF KA YING (T370) | K C Leung | PC/TT1 | Pushed forward early to lead. Battled only fairly in the straight, before peaking late. |
7 | 5 | APOLLO'S CHOICE (S312) | K C Ng | B | Eased forward early to sit just forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Wider on the turn and 1 paced to the line. |
7 | 8 | LET US WIN (V381) | S Clipperton | B | Inconvenienced on jumping, and dropped back early to sit worse than midfield, 1 off the fence. Stayed on fairly in the straight, and picked up a few slower ones late. |
9 | 3 | SUPER LIFELINE (P158) | S De Sousa | B | Pushed forward early and stuck 3 wide, before pressing to share the lead at 900m. Never responded when asked in the straight and went to the line 1 paced. |
10 | 13 | DR WIN WIN (A154) | C Y Ho | -- | Dropped back early from the wide draw to sit a clear 2nd last. Plugged away fairly under minimal urging in the straight. |
11 | 9 | TEAM FORTUNE (T306) | O Murphy | -- | Lifted front feet on jumping and was slow to begin. Taken up to sit just forward of midfield, on the fence. Only fair in the straight and eased late. Vet-bled both nostrils. |
12 | 6 | HAPPILABABY (T315) | H T Mo | B/TT | Dropped back early to settle a clear last, 3-4L off the 2nd last horse. Plugged away in the straight, only under hand and heels late. |
13 | 4 | MY DARLING (V142) | B Prebble | -- | Taken up early to be handily placed 5th/6th, but stuck 3 wide with limited cover. Dropped out quickly from the 300m, and eased to the line. Unacceptable performance. Jockey and trainer questioned. |
14 | 14 | ISHVARA (S015) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Eased back from the wide draw to sit 3rd last, 3 wide with limited cover. Never looked to press on in the straight, and was eased to the line late. |
