Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | DAILY TROPHY (H283) | H Bowman | B/TT | Chased leaders, raced keenly early stages, 3-wide no cover from 700M, travelled best of all turning home, quickened to lead inside 300M then drew well clear for his maiden victory. |
2 | 2 | SPEEDY FORTUNE (H097) | Z Purton | P1 | From draw 11 slotted into a 3-wide spot in midfield, 5th at 400M, put in a mild effort to go 2nd near 100M but not able to challenge winner. |
3 | 4 | COOL BLUE (H011) | K Teetan | V2/TT | Slow to begin from draw 12 then switched off to race at the rear 6-7Ls away, had task ahead 400M, finished off best to claim a non-threatening 3rd close home. (Jockey dropped left rein for a number of strides near 100M.) |
4 | 8 | SUPER JOY (G251) | M Chadwick | B/XB/TT | Jumped awkwardly, soon pushed along to take up a midfield position, 6th at 400M 3Ls off leader, couldn't quicken enough to challenge. |
5 | 5 | DIAMOND SOARS (G201) | M F Poon | TT | Strode to the front and shared lead on inside, couldn't hold off winner inside 300M, faded final stages. |
6 | 6 | PATCH OF WATCH (H476) | B Avdulla | SR/B1 | Went forward to be vying for the lead on outside, fought hard to stay in contention early straight, ran home one paced final 250M. |
7 | 3 | SMART FOLKS (D343) | B Thompson | B/SR | Failed to muster early speed, unable to hold a forward position as instructed, 10th at 400M 6-7Ls back, ran to the line only fairly. |
8 | 1 | BEAU GOSSE (G389) | C Y Ho | B/XB1/TT- | Positioned ahead of midfield 4Ls off leaders, responded fairly to pressure on straightening, never looked likely. (Jockey : would be benefit by stepping up in distance.) |
9 | 11 | ALL IS READY (G042) | L Hewitson | B/XB/TT | Jumped fairly, pushed along to obtain a position behind midfield, gave limited response on straightening, No impression. |
10 | 10 | VAMOS (G004) | L Ferraris | B | Slow to begin, held up near last 5-6Ls back, pushed along nearing 400M but lacked a finishing effort. |
11 | 12 | DASHING GLORY (G397) | Y L Chung | -- | Hard driven out the gate to take up a trailing position behind leader, couldn't keep up passing 500M, soon weakened and fell back through the field. (Jockey - no explanation for disappointing performance.) |
12 | 7 | FIRE BALL (D087) | H Bentley | CP | Away with them then dropped back to a position near last, under pressure home turn, had the job ahead top of the straight and couldn't make any headway. |
