Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | GALLANT TRIUMPH (P173) | T Angland | B/TT | Took a midfield role, 3-4ls back in running line, no excuses to bend, gained a run at 300m point and let down strongly, gained advantage and won a shade cozily. |
2 | 9 | FLYING CHAPARRAL (M245) | C K Tong | SR | Enjoyed run of race on leaders back, steady sections to suit to turn, run presented inside 300m and finished off soundly to take placing. |
3 | 12 | REWARDING HERO (N376) | K C Leung | H/XB | Settled in midfield 3 wide with cover, only 3ls back in a bunched field on circled, set out after leaders at 300m and hit lead at 200m, peaked inside 100m but held on for 3rd. |
4 | 14 | SUPREME WINNER (M014) | R Fourie | B-/TT- | Tardy getaway, taken back to rear on rails, 6ls back with steady sections, took inside runs turning and held up to 250m, closed soundly late when clear to make frame. |
5 | 11 | ELECTRONIC FORTUNE (N097) | H W Lai | B | Forced into a tough journey 3 wide without cover, only 2ls back with standard sections, improved and in mix turning, kept on creditably in straight to be not far off them. |
6 | 3 | LOMBARDI (CK406) | C Y Ho | B | Showed usual pace to take up running, set even sectionals in front, headed soon after straightening, didn't look likely from that point but stayed on evenly all the same. |
7 | 5 | SUPER CAGA (CK054) | O Doleuze | B | Had an ideal run in 1 out 1 back spot, steady pace suited to bend, in traffic turning but just one paced when clear running presented and just battle don at one speed. |
8 | 1 | JIMSON THE BEST (CL016) | C W Wong | -- | Restrained to settle back with last few, 6-7ls from leaders, even pace not ideal, well back turning, passed a few in straight but never likely. |
9 | 4 | THE UNTOUCHABLELAD (CK398) | T H So | B | Taken back from a wide gate, raced 3 wide at rear 7ls back, set a task still last and coming wide bend, made some moderate headway late. |
10 | 7 | COLLAGEN (P302) | G Mosse | TT1 | Unable to slot in, ended up 3 and 4 wide for duration without cover 4ls back, did work but was only 1l down turning, not much extra final 300m after hard run. |
11 | 8 | GRAND ELITE (M393) | Z Purton | -- | Raced 3-4ls back on rails, all favours in run, held up turning to 250m, didn't really get into race and only had a moderate response when clear (see racing incidents). |
12 | 10 | KING DERBY (P225) | M L Yeung | -- | Pressed on to race outside leader, even run throughout, struggling soon after turning and gave in cheaply and dropped right off. |
13 | 6 | MASTER SOMMELIER (P253) | D Whyte | P1 | Ordinarily away but mustered and soon overaced hung out badly when over-racing on top turn, continued to race intractably in mid-section, came wider bend but didn't finish off (lame). |
14 | 13 | PRECISION ERA (P006) | W M Lai | CP/TT | Caught 3 and 4 wide from a tricky gate, forced wider by unruly horse, 6ls back and kept improving even wider on bend, no finish in straight given workload. |
