Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | ISLAND SPRING (CL238) | T Queally | B | Couldn't go the early speed and settled towards the rear of the field, coursing 3-4 deep with cover. Ran on well towards the outside to claim the prize close to home. |
2 | 11 | LOTUS LOVE (CL155) | H W Lai | V | Raced prominently in 4th position, settling a tight 3 deep with cover. Took some time to wind up in the straight, hit the lead near the 50m, but was nabbed close to the post. |
3 | 9 | TREASURE GLITTER (M031) | O Doleuze | B | Rated just behind midfield 3 wide with cover. Peeled out about 5 deep turning for home and ran on soundly. |
4 | 13 | SEIZE THE DAY (CJ152) | W C Marwing | SR-/V-/B2 | Enjoyed an uncontested lead on the fence. Was overhauled over about the last 100m, but managed to stay in the frame. |
5 | 5 | ALP'S GLORY (CL433) | B Prebble | B/TT | Had a nice run in the race behind the leader in 3rd position on the rails. Didn't quicken over the last 200m after having every hope. |
6 | 6 | BAMBOO DANCE (M327) | A Suborics | TT- | Camped close to midfield, 1 off with cover. Worked home fairly without menacing. |
7 | 14 | NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) | T H So | B | Settled in 2nd last position, 2 deep with cover. Made some headway in the straight without threatening. |
8 | 1 | FLYING KEEPER (M191) | T Angland | -- | Sent forward and eventually settled in 2nd position, 1 off no cover. Was a spent force after the 150m. |
9 | 8 | YOUNG HAPPY (M305) | R Fourie | XB | Settled back in the field, 1 off with cover. Plodded away at the same pace in the home straight. |
10 | 3 | DARK SECRET (M213) | Z Purton | SR/TT | Settled handy in the run, 2 deep with cover. Raced tight for some distance after the 700m, gave no response in the final stretch. Gave ground in the run to the wire. |
11 | 12 | DR UNION (CK105) | W M Lai | B | Never likely after being posted 3-4 deep without cover for most of the trip while racing in about a midfield position. Tired quickly over the latter stages. |
12 | 7 | OCEAN BRIGHT (M270) | T Clark | B-/H-/TT | Travelled in 3rd last position, 3 deep with cover. Weakened noticeable over the final furlong. |
13 | 2 | HAIR BEAUTY (N095) | M L Yeung | -- | Settled worse than midfield the fence had cover. Struggled in the home straight. |
14 | 10 | BELIEVE IN CHANCE (N133) | U Rispoli | TT | Settled in last position near the rail & failed to pass another runner, finishing tailed out. (Vet reported post-race, horse to be a roarer & to have an irregular heart rhythm. |
