Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | SECRET SHAM (P174) | D Whyte | H | Took up a spot behind midfield, raced 6-7ls away in running line, aided by tempo, improved wider turning, let down well final 300m to overhaul leaders and hold off fast finishing rivals. |
2 | 1 | DESTINED FOR GLORY (M207) | W C Marwing | XB/TT | Dropped back to last from wide gate, raced at rear 10ls back on rails, helped by solid sections, gradually worked into race final 400m and did best work final furling making many lengths late to just miss. |
3 | 13 | LONGWAH SUPREME (M293) | C K Tong | H/TT | Settled at rear more than 10ls from speed, solid pace helped chances, well back turning, switched widest in straight and reeled off a solid section to go down narrowly in 3 way go. |
4 | 12 | KA YING KID (P189) | Y T Cheng | XB/TT | Positioned back with last few 8ls away from lead, racing two wide, suited by solid tempo, switched wider turning and made solid ground down middle just missing a place in a tight finish. |
5 | 3 | HAPPY ERA (N378) | B Prebble | B | Settled behind midfield, 7-8ls back on rails, suited by tempo, in traffic turning, worked home nicely in straight to be nearest at finish just missing frame. |
6 | 5 | DEEP THINKER (N159) | T Angland | -- | Landed a spot in midfield 5ls back racing two wide, overaced despite solid early speed, in amongst horses at 400m, looked a place chance but lacked usual dash when clear and peaked inside 200m. |
7 | 11 | WINNING LEADER (N268) | Z Purton | H | Slotted into 1out 1 back spot, did a bit of work with solid pace on, loomed on turning and took over at 300m, didn't have reserves final furlong but stayed on best of leading division to be not far away. |
8 | 7 | TALLEY CLOSE (M280) | R Fourie | TT | Showed more speed than usual to press forward and race outside leader, applied pressure to leader in mid-section, there to 300m but workload took effect and dropped off final 200m. |
9 | 4 | VOILE ROUGE (M343) | K C Leung | B/TT | Began well enough and pressed on to take position in leaders back, used a bit on decent speed, right there turning, in contention until 200m but just one paced thereafter. |
10 | 2 | NEW VISION (M028) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Unable to slot in from a outside gate, raced 3 wide without cover 5ls back in midfield, did share of work to bend, folded final 300m. |
11 | 6 | GREEN EAGLE (N052) | T Berry | B | Went forward and took up lead, used a bit early with decent sections, worried by outside horse throughout, headed at 300m and run ended soon after. |
12 | 9 | REGENCY KING (N040) | M Chadwick | H/TT | Sat just off pace 3-4ls back on rails, fair run in mid-section, close enough turning but didn't let down final 300m and faded late. (lame after race) |
13 | 14 | ALPINEFIELD (P126) | T H So | -- | Positioned behind midfield on rails, 5ls off lead, enjoyed a quiet time in middle stages, took inside runs turning but had no real dash in straight. |
14 | 10 | FLEET COMMAND (CK077) | A Suborics | B | Had nice trail just off pace 3-4ls back in running line, fair run to bend, made a mild bid but soon under pressure at 400m, faded out quickly. |
