1 | 6 | TONYBOY (S101) | C Schofield | V/TT | Pushed from the wide draw to eventually sit in 2nd, 1 off the fence and 1L off the leader. Tight top of the straight, but held his line. Looked beaten at 100m, but kicked again and outmuscled the rest to win on the line. |
2 | 8 | MR STUNNING (V153) | K Teetan | -- | Pushed forward early, before steadying to find cover at 1100m and racing keenly. Settled handily in 4th, 1 off the fence. Ran to the line strongly and looked the winner at 50m, despite laying in. Just pipped for the win on the line. |
3 | 11 | HAMMER KING (V034) | J Moreira | B | Pressed forward early before steadying to sit forward of midfield, on the fence. Kicked on when clear from the 350m. Had pressure on the outside, and brushed over last 100m, still finishing off 3rd in a tight finish. |
4 | 9 | MYTHICAL EMPEROR (T419) | M L Yeung | CP-/H | Bumped and taken wider on jumping before pressing forward to take the lead. Still in front at the 50m mark, but run down late to lose a place late in a bunch finish. |
5 | 7 | WAH MAY FRIEND (T309) | N Callan | TT | Pushed forward early, then steadied and crossed, sitting 3rd 2L off the leader. Tight top of straight when looking for a run, before switching to the rail. Ran well late, barely missing a place in a blanket finish. |
6 | 13 | GLORIOUS AVENUE (S181) | E da Silva | H | Bumped on jumping and cruised forward early to sit midfield, 3 wide with limited cover. Came wide on the turn and ran on steadily in the straight. |
7 | 3 | WINSTON'S LAD (T348) | B Prebble | H | Cruised forward early to be placed midfield, 3 wide with no cover. Ran steadily in the straight with minimal urging. |
8 | 5 | SUPREME FALCON (P224) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Dropped back early to sit towards the rear of the field, 1 off the fence. Checked and lost considerable ground when a horse dropped in his lap 700m. Near last on turn, but plugged on OK in the straight with minimal urging. |
9 | 12 | SKY KING (V217) | C Y Ho | -- | OK away and cruised forward early to be slightly worse than midfield, 1 off the fence. Awkward on heels and lost some momentum 700m. Never responded to pressure and only fair to the line. |
10 | 14 | A BEAUTIFUL (T421) | H W Lai | H/TT | Began OK and dropped back early, eventually settling in the last group, 3 wide. Never stretched out in the straight and only ran fairly to the line, easing late. |
11 | 2 | SHAMAL (V290) | D Whyte | -- | Fairly away, before pushing to sit forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Never ran on in the straight, and wasn't pushed hard in the run to the line. |
12 | 10 | LUCOBLU (V073) | G Mosse | -- | Fairly away then crowded, dropping back to be towards the rear of the field, on the rail. Became unsettled at 700m, and was checked off heels for a distance. Was a beaten horse by 400m and subsequently found to have bled. |
13 | 1 | ACTUARIAT (V215) | N Rawiller | -- | Jumped OK from the inside draw and cruised forward to sit midfield, on the rail. Still well placed at the 300m, but found nothing and eased out. |
14 | 4 | HONG KONG CAPTAIN (V056) | T H So | -- | Dropped back from the wide draw to sit last by 800m, and throwing the head around early. Didn't respond to pressure in the straight, and eased a long way from home. |
