Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | DRAGON EYE (CJ127) | K C Leung | TT | 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in 8th at halfway, edged closer taking last bend, darted through the pack to lead 50 M out, ran on. |
2 | 8 | DAILY DOUBLE (CK043) | B Doyle | SR | 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls behind speed at 800 M, 2Ls down in 4th or 5th at the 200 M, couldn't match the winner's late dash. |
3 | 3 | BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Box-seated on fence 2Ls behind lead on rails until home straight, 1L down in 3rd entering straight, had every chance but lacked a decisive kick. |
4 | 11 | SEIZE THE DAY (CJ152) | M Du Plessis | B | Soon led by a neck on the rails, still marginally in front entering home straight, couldn't quicken again and tipped out of the money final 200 M. |
5 | 10 | LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) | B Prebble | B | A neck back in 2nd at the 800 M and disputing the lead off last turn, one-paced inside the final furlong and slipped out of the main placings. |
6 | 6 | SPEED FIGHTER (CD355) | Z Purton | B | 2Ls behind the early pace in 4th or 5th with cover through to final bend, had his chance but found wanting in the finish. |
6 | 9 | TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) | W C Marwing | P-/TT | Lost ground at the start, keen in rear at first, 5-wide (widest of all) when 5Ls behind turning for home, stayed on fairly well, never nearer. |
8 | 7 | ELECTRONIC MASTER (CJ135) | J Winks | B | Slowest out and bumped at start, soon 8Ls last, on rails and 5Ls down on straightening, made some good late ground but never likely to figure. |
9 | 2 | MARVELLOUS (CH026) | O Doleuze | V/TT | Taken back from widest gate, 3-wide with cover about 5Ls behind at first, a little closer off last bend, always outpaced. |
10 | 4 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | K T Yeung | B | 3-wide no cover throughout despite being 1L off pace in 3rd until home straight, extra work exacted its toll in closing stages. |
11 | 12 | ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) | M W Leung | -- | Always worse than midfield at least 4Ls or 5Ls from the speed, didn't have much room at furlong pole, no danger when staying on again down the centre. |
12 | 5 | FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) | J Victoire | -- | Slowly away again, 3-wide with cover in midfield at 800 M and 3Ls back in midfield off last bend, lacked a turn of foot. |
