Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | WILLING STORM (CJ187) | D Beadman | H | Broke well from the outside barrier, drifted back to race behind midfield 5Ls away, had a smooth run throughout, found room on the inside and produced a strong finish to wear down the leader in the dying strides. |
2 | 11 | ADAIKALI (CE181) | O Doleuze | B-/V1 | Quickly into stride, showed customary early speed to lead, had 2Ls advantage coming into straight, kept on giving until final 100m, weakened and was headed a few strides before the line. |
3 | 8 | BEAUTIFUL DREAMER (CH108) | B Prebble | B | Even break, taken a position in midfield 5Ls off the pace, saved ground on the rail, kept to inside on straightening, ran on well but couldn't match the winner's turn of foot. |
4 | 9 | WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) | M Du Plessis | -- | Taken back on jumping, held a position towards the rear on the fence, 7Ls down on turning, made up some ground down the inside to finish a non-threatening 4th. |
5 | 6 | HIT SONG (CJ232) | K T Yeung | -- | Jumped well, tracked leader in a one-out-one-back position, had every chance in straight but was unable to produce a finishing burst, just battled away to line. |
6 | 4 | HOLI RAVIOLI (CG201) | D Whyte | -- | Well enough away, prominent early but was shuffled back to midfield passing 1000M, under pressure on turning, edged out for clear run, didn't pick up and was one-paced in the finish. |
7 | 7 | NOBLE MAN (CC099) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Settled patiently near the back racing 7Ls away, used little in running, taken wide on straightening, dashed well down the outside making late impression. |
8 | 5 | GALEN WIN (CJ065) | K L Chui | CP | Began awkwardly, taken back to last trailing 8Ls behind leader, made some headway in straight, met minor interference inside 200M, ran on ok to line. |
9 | 12 | EASY (CG095) | M W Leung | TT | Reasonable jump, hard pressed to go forward, travelled prominently in 3rd under a steady tempo, unable to go with them under pressure 300M out, weakened inside 150M. |
10 | 1 | ULTRA FANTASY (CG311) | G Mosse | B | Away with them, maintained a position in midfield 3Ls off the pace, niggled along turning for home, steadied near 300M, couldn't pick up in run to line. |
11 | 2 | WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (CH145) | B Doyle | -- | Jumped fairly, shaken up to take closer order in mid-division, over-raced in middle stages, wide on turning, no extra inside 150M as early hard run took toll. |
12 | 3 | CANNONISE (CD377) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Began in line, unable to slot in and was left racing wide and without cover, close enough on turning, didn't find any when asked, dropped out inside 100M. |
