Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | NORTHERN FIRE BALL (J488) | C L Chau | H/TT | Set pace, slipped away early straight and opened up 2L lead, kept on well late stages to hold off pursuing rivals. |
2 | 1 | GIDDY UP (J020) | B Avdulla | TT | Jumped well from draw 1 then eased back to a midfield position, briefly held up 250M before closing off the race well under top weight to claim 2nd. Nearest finish. |
3 | 4 | LOVEISINTHEAIR (J550) | H Bowman | B/H/TT | Began awkwardly, settled towards the rear a little further back than intended, ran on well final 250M to take 3rd. (Jockey questioned regarding riding in the home straight- tactics reasonable.) |
4 | 5 | SPICY SPANGLE (J087) | A Hamelin | H/TT | Jumped fast, chased leader on settling, held 2nd from 300M to 60M, weakened late and was eased close home when crowded for room. |
5 | 8 | GLORY CLOUD (H320) | H Bentley | TT | Jumped on terms, settled ahead of midfield, kept on final 300M without posing serious threat to leaders. |
6 | 12 | SAME TO YOU (H057) | A Atzeni | H/P/TT | From outside draw dropped back to the rear, swung wide from home turn before staying on to finish a non-threatening 6th. |
7 | 6 | CHILL MASTER (J319) | M L Yeung | TT | Jumped on fairly, held up behind mid-division, ran past beaten horses final 300M. Never able to challenge leaders. |
8 | 10 | TEAM HAPPY (J218) | L Hewitson | PC/TT | Caught wide without cover from draw 11, pushed forward from 700M to race outside the lead, couldn't sustain run 250M, faded towards the line. |
9 | 11 | TRIUMPHANT WARRIOR (H430) | K Teetan | TT | Restrained to race near the rear, raced too keenly in the early and middle stages, failed to run on in the straight. (Blood in trachea.) |
10 | 7 | ORIENTAL SURPRISE (K028) | E C W Wong | CP-/B1 | Bumped at the start, with blinkers being applied took up a more forward position chasing leaders, couldn't quicken on straightening, soon out of contention. |
11 | 9 | COSMO NAVIGATOR (H156) | M F Poon | B | Dropped back to the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, pushed along home turn but failed to make up ground. Never in the picture. |
