Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | ICE FIRE (CJ272) | B Prebble | H/SR/XB | Settled just ahead of midfield on the rail. Was checked on the home turn but rallied well and stormed home. |
2 | 9 | BINGO KEY (CK190) | D Whyte | B | Rated behind midfield 2 wide with cover. Cornered six wide and closed off soundly. |
3 | 11 | BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) | T Angland | B/TT | Had a good run in transit following the tear away leader settling in 2nd. Gave way late. |
4 | 1 | FANTASTISCH (CK017) | K C Leung | XB/TT | Enjoyed a nice run in 3rd position travelling 1 off the rail with cover. Kept on one paced in the final stretch but was able to finish in the frame. |
5 | 4 | PLOT RATIO (CK044) | J Lloyd | CP | Raced worse than midfield, along the rail. Ran on gamely despite copping a bad check near the 450m. |
6 | 2 | EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) | Y T Cheng | B | Couldn't go the early speed of the race settling midfield the fence. Struck interference on the home turn but recovered to finish off evenly. |
7 | 7 | LUCKY EMPEROR (CK407) | O Doleuze | B/XB | Settled with the backmakers 2-3 wide with cover. Made fair ground in the straight without ever threatening. |
8 | 13 | OUTTALIMITZ (CK312) | W M Lai | CP-/P1/H | Slow to begin settling in last position. Made some steady ground towards the outside of the field in the home straight. |
9 | 10 | NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) | M L Yeung | PC | Raced behind the speed posted 3 wide without cover. Was never in the hunt. |
10 | 14 | SPEEDY TYCOON (CK107) | C W Wong | H-/B2 | Travelled near last, 1 off with cover. Never a factor, failing to close off. |
11 | 5 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | T H So | B | Settled with the backmakers along the paint. Only plodded to the line down the inside. |
12 | 8 | LUCKY ARMY (CL230) | P Strydom | H/TT | Raced handy to the leaders, 1 off with cover. Copped a check near the 450m, and was not likely thereafter. |
13 | 12 | DRAGON BOY (CJ204) | D Beadman | B-/CP1/H1 | Settled midfield 2 deep with cover. Struggled in the final stretch after being severely checked on the home turn. |
14 | 3 | HEXAGON (CL121) | C K Tong | BO-/H-/B2/TT | Proved a real handful hanging out badly on the first corner then pulling hard in the lead before capitulating on the home turn. To trial on 3 consecutive occasions. |
