Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | BUDDY BUDDIES (M021) | O Doleuze | H | Taken back from a wide gate, raced just off midfield 6ls back on rails, improved turning and gained ideal run through field, kept giving to get over the top of rivals narrowly in finish ending a frustrating run of placings. |
2 | 10 | WHY NOT (N053) | Z Purton | TT | Assumed ideal spot 1 out 1 back, used little in run, loomed 3 wide to challenge turning, hit front at 200m and just lost advantage in shadow of post. |
3 | 1 | GENKI TWINS (N223) | T Angland | XB | Showed early pace, too nice trail on leaders back, all favours in run, came off rails turning and produced a good finish going down in a 3 way go. |
4 | 9 | CHANCELLOR (M347) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Went forward to take customary role in front, controlled affairs in mid-section, held narrow advantage turning, kept to task in straight to make frame and be not far away on line. |
5 | 5 | CLASSIC JEWELLERY (M329) | D Whyte | P- | Began well, took up spot outside leader, helped by average tempo early, right there turning, no turn of foot but stayed on evenly all the same to be on heels of place getters. |
6 | 14 | WAYFOONG EXPRESS (P262) | K C Leung | SR1 | Taken back from outside gate, raced next to last more than 8ls back, last turning and came widest in straight, and produced a big finish making many lengths to be nearest on line. |
7 | 2 | NOBLE DELUXE (M063) | T H So | -- | Took a nice spot in midfield, 5ls or so back in between horses, difficult to settle in run, switched wider but peaked at 200m and just held ground thereafter. |
8 | 4 | GREAT AND BEYOND (N400) | R Fourie | -- | Slotted in behind midfield from widest gate, 7ls or so away in running line, came 4 wide turning, made some minor headway. |
9 | 6 | ELEGANCE KLAMMER (M228) | B Prebble | TT | Away fairly, raced just off pace 3ls back, no excuses to bend, just battled away along inside final 400m. |
10 | 8 | CALIFORNIA DUDE (N221) | M Chadwick | H/TT | Ordinary break and soon at tail, nearly 10ls back at rear, well back turning, made some fair progress in straight |
11 | 7 | PERCY JACKSON (N188) | K C Ng | CP | Positioned behind midfield racing 3 wide with cover, 7ls away, made a 5 wide run turning, made only minor ground in straight and was safely held. |
12 | 13 | SATIRICAL BOY (N439) | W M Lai | B/TT | Average break, raced well back on rails 8ls or more off speed, took inside runs turning, one paced in straight. |
13 | 11 | PLENTIFUL (CK319) | A Suborics | B/TT | Showed more pace than usual, but trapped 3 wide without cover, in midfield and did have cover from midpoint 5ls back, niggled turning, lacked usual close and battled away in straight. |
14 | 3 | TRUMP (P106) | G Mosse | TT | Out with rest, raced 3 wide in midfield, improved 4 wide on circle to be 2ls down turning, run soon ended and dropped away quickly to be well beaten. |
