Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | STRATHMORE (S206) | N Rawiller | B/TT | Elected to sit midfield early, after breaking well. Full of horse on the turn, and pressed forward from 400m. Far too strong late to win by 3L. |
2 | 11 | SPICY SURE (T234) | K C Leung | -- | Pushed up to sit in a handy position early, but dropped back to midfield when crowded out at 850m. Positioned in behind winner on turn, but elected to go the wider route. Valiant chase late without threatening winner. |
3 | 5 | MULTIMAX (T129) | D Whyte | TT | Pushed out early to lead and set early race tempo. Held the rails run and plugged on fairly in straight, before weakening late. |
4 | 3 | RIGHTEOUS (S128) | B Prebble | B | Pushed hard early to share the lead, one off the fence. Battled in straight, dropped back and unbalanced late but just held on for fourth. |
5 | 10 | GOOD LUCK BOY (S196) | O Doleuze | B/XB | Never settled early, and checked 850m before travelling 3 wide with no cover near the lead. Crowded again at the 650, but still managed to find open space on turn. Battled fairly, and lost late race for fourth. |
6 | 2 | COUNTRY MELODY (T011) | J Moreira | H | Took the length of the back straight to settle handy on the fence. One paced and only battled in straight. |
7 | 6 | BOTH SURE (P385) | C Y Ho | TT | Clipped heels and blundered early, settling six lengths off the second last horse. Still a long way off on home turn, but strong run in the straight to overtake half the field. |
8 | 9 | DIVINE BOY (T163) | Z Purton | B1 | Pushed early to sit handy behind leaders. Looked to press on from turn, but didn't run on and faded late. |
9 | 1 | KIRAM (T093) | A Suborics | -- | Drifted across from the wide barrier to sit at the back of the pack. Looked to run on from home turn, but hampered 350m and never ran on from there. |
10 | 14 | FLYING CAPTAIN (S350) | K C Ng | -- | Pushed hard early, but ended up settling worse than midfield. Only plugged away and never looked likely. |
11 | 8 | LONGWAH SILENT (T172) | K Teetan | TT1 | Handy/Mid position early trapped three and four wide. Tracked widest on the turn, and never ran on. |
12 | 4 | KING OF MONGOLIA (S414) | N Callan | CP1/TT | Never found a position from the wide gate, and travelled four wide with no cover for the duration. Rider was unbalanced 650m. Race was run by the 400m, and dropped back from there. |
13 | 13 | BEYOND FANTASY (T057) | C K Tong | H | Dropped back to rear of the field early. Gave nothing, and a clear last. |
