Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | BEAUTY DESTINY (H281) | A Atzeni | H/P/TT | Slotted into a 3-wide position in midfield, worked into the race well passing 500M, let down well early straight and battled his way to the lead near 50M. Gamely prevailed. |
2 | 10 | HAPPY FAT CAT (G166) | A Hamelin | TT | Away fast and led 1L on settling, tried hard passing 300m and maintained the lead until near 50M when winner battled past. Good effort. |
3 | 11 | YOUNG ARROW (J401) | H Bentley | CP/XB | Taken back from wide draw, settled near last early stages before moving closer to midfield passing 600M, wide into straight then drove hard to go 3rd near line. |
4 | 7 | MOJAVE DESERT (J330) | M Chadwick | XB | Jumped awkwardly, settled towards the rear early stages, improved to midfield mid-race, came with a decent finish passing 300M to just miss 3rd in a tight photo finish. |
5 | 12 | MAGNIFICENT NINE (H433) | A Badel | B/E | Broke well, restrained to race behind midfield on settling, 4Ls to make up on leaders 400M, worked home steadily but always held by first few. |
6 | 8 | RIGHTEOUS ARION (H059) | Y L Chung | TT | Jumped on terms, caught racing wide without cover from draw 11, moved forward 550M to press leaders, fought hard to mid-straight but was overrun late. |
7 | 3 | RIDING TOGETHER (K081) | Z Purton | XB/TT1 | Pressed on after the start to be chasing leader on outside, stayed in touch with leaders early straight but lacked a kick final stages and was safely held in the end. |
8 | 5 | REZEKI (J340) | K Teetan | -- | Jumped well enough from draw 1, chased leaders into straight, could not pick up well enough and just battled to the line. |
9 | 1 | SUGAR SUGAR (G016) | K H Chan | B/TT | Reserved in second half of the field, got shuffled back to the rear over the home turn, lacked a finishing response on straightening. (Jockey : no explanation for the disappointing performance / No Vet findings.) |
10 | 9 | THUNDER PRINCE (K017) | C Y Ho | TT | A little slow to begin and ended up last on settling, raced keenly throughout the early and middle stages, swung wide into straight but the finishing response was only fair. |
11 | 6 | MIDORI GLORY (J248) | M F Poon | PC-/TT | Tracked leaders in 3rd place early, shuffled back passing 700M, failed to respond and drifted out of contention early straight. |
12 | 4 | VON BAER (K198) | M L Yeung | -- | Jumped fairly, settled at the back of the field, saved ground on the turn but showed no turn of foot on straightening. Never involved. |
