Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | HYPERSONIC (P176) | D Whyte | SB1 | Settled behind the speed 3 deep with cover. Kept finding under pressure in the home straight to score narrowly. |
2 | 14 | VIVA DOLPHIN (M071) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Didn't muster early settling 3 back the fence with cover. Hit the line strongly after switching out into uninterrupted running after the 200m. |
3 | 2 | WINNING BOY (N186) | O Doleuze | H/SR | Enjoyed the run of the race box seating. Finished off evenly, no excuses. |
4 | 10 | BERNARD'S CHOICE (N156) | M L Yeung | B/H/TT | Taken back from a wide gate and settled in last position on the fence, had cover. Took inside runs in the straight and closed off with plenty of purpose. |
5 | 11 | GOOD TIMES ROLL (P033) | C K Tong | TT | From the outside alley, managed to settle around midfield 3 deep with cover. Closed off soundly. |
6 | 3 | DRAGIMOVA (N151) | A Suborics | B | Showed good gate speed and was able to take up the running in the early stages on the fence. Vied for the lead after the 800m, gave way after the 100m. |
7 | 7 | MULTIEXPRESS (P029) | M Chadwick | TT | Camped close to midfield, 2 deep with cover. Didn't have the easiest of runs in transit but had no genuine excuses for failing to close off. |
8 | 6 | STAR OF BOND (P200) | Y T Cheng | -- | Raced on the bridle in the early and middle stages, & proved difficult to settle. Reluctant to maintain its position on the home turn, dour in the home stretch. |
9 | 1 | DRAGON BACHELOR (P128) | Z Purton | B-/CP1 | Parked behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Stayed on one paced in the home stretch. |
10 | 13 | SOLAR BOY (CL213) | T H So | V | Beaten for speed early but managed to roll forward and settled prominently, but coursed 3 deep no cover. Was a spent force at the furlong. |
11 | 9 | GOLDEN LEGEND (N329) | T Clark | PC-/P1/TT- | Jumped on terms then was eased early, to settle on the fence worse than midfield. Whacked away at the same speed in the run home. |
12 | 8 | OCEAN ROAR (N317) | W M Lai | -- | Raced keenly in the early stages progressing forward to settle as joint leader, 1 off no cover by the 800m. Faded over the last 250m. |
13 | 12 | PERFECT JOY (M182) | K C Ng | TT | Ridden along in the early stages but settled with the backmakers, 3 deep with cover on the circle. Made no impression in the final stretch. |
