Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | DISCIPLES TWELVE (P018) | C Y Ho | -- | Held up at rear 4Ls off the pace, responded well passing halfway, came from near last with an irresistible challenge, got up near line. |
2 | 9 | DANE PATROL (CL078) | H N Wong | -- | Soon led along the stand's rail and took time along at good pace, kept on strongly under light weight only caught by fast finishing winner near line. |
3 | 8 | LOVELY DELOVELY (S022) | C Y Lui | B/H | Began awkwardly, 2Ls back chasing leaders, switched to the rails near 300M for his run, closed well but raced in restricted room final 100M, would have been closer. |
4 | 11 | COUR VALANT (P190) | A Suborics | CP1 | Towards the rear early stages, crept closer nearing halfway mark, ran on steadily for modest 4th. |
5 | 3 | SUPREME FALCON (P224) | N Rawiller | CP | Reserved in midfield along the stand's side, took time to get going over this shorter trip, ran on well final stages making good late impression. |
6 | 4 | YOU READ MY MIND (P041) | D Whyte | XB | Tracked the pace, loomed outside leader inside 400M but failed to sustain his run passing 200M. |
7 | 6 | SIGHT BELIEVER (P258) | O Doleuze | B/H | Never far off from the pace but found just the same pace once let down, not reached leaders. |
8 | 7 | HIGH FIVE (T200) | M Chadwick | -- | Raced handily just off the good early pace, lacked the necessary response when urged along passing halfway, kept on same speed to the finish. |
9 | 5 | CALIFORNIA BOUNTY (P222) | K C Ng | TT | Sent forward pressing the pace but found little off the bridle, faded out of contention 250M. |
10 | 2 | MY LITTLE FRIEND (S010) | Z Purton | TT | Held his position in mid-division throughout but could not find much to challenge leaders. (Jockey reported breathing issues may have attributed to the horse's poor performance) |
11 | 10 | SKY MAN (S091) | U Rispoli | -- | Raced keenly early stages, settled down near the rear 4Ls off the pace, not picked up and left behind passing 400M. |
12 | 14 | GOOD LUCK BOY (S196) | J Moreira | B/TT1 | Settled down behind midfield towards the center of track, badly outpaced from midway, eased when well beaten. |
13 | 13 | HAYMAKER (T054) | Y T Cheng | SR1 | Niggled along to stay in touch, badly outpaced midway, soon beaten. |
14 | 12 | GENERAL IRON (P429) | M L Yeung | CP/TT | In mid-division towards the center of track, outpaced halfway, weakened to last. |
