Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | SAUL'S SPECIAL (A293) | O Doleuze | B/H | Always prominent along stand's rail, bustled along halfway, gained lead 200M, held on well to the line. |
2 | 12 | SUPERICH (B257) | J Moreira | SR/TT | Began only fairly, niggled along and improved to be 2L behind leader, tried hard final 400M but couldn't reel in winner. |
3 | 13 | NICE FANDANGO (A209) | H N Wong | H/TT | Jumped on terms to lead, inclined to lay in throughout, unable to hold off winner 200M, fought on to line, lost 2nd close home but reasonably clear from rest. |
4 | 9 | GREEN CARD (V126) | D Whyte | B/TT | In touch within 2Ls of leader, kept on evenly under pressure final 400M, not reached first 3. |
5 | 5 | BEAUTY LOYAL (B383) | Z Purton | TT1 | Close up behind leaders, couldn't quicken with leaders passing 400M, awkwardly placed 200M, boxed on without threat. |
6 | 11 | SPARKLING DRAGON (B033) | A Sanna | TT1 | From a low draw raced towards the outside of group, never far off from the pace, battled away only, tiring from 200M. |
7 | 3 | HAPPY TIME (B272) | K C Leung | TT1 | Sat just off the speed, worked home fairly without threatening. |
8 | 1 | KA YING LEGEND (B234) | N Callan | TT | Settled down 3-4Ls off the pace in mid-division, couldn't accelerate when required, never a winning chance. |
9 | 10 | C P POWER (V037) | C Wong | V/TT | Outpaced early, towards the rear 5-6Ls back, failed to pick up passing halfway, never involved. |
10 | 7 | SUPER FUN (A408) | M Chadwick | H | Slow to begin, not hurried raced at the tail of the 13-horse field, 7-8Ls back in running, plodded past a couple of well beaten horses only. |
11 | 2 | JOY MASTER (B222) | T H So | -- | Settled down 3Ls off the pace, couldn't quicken when driven out mid-way, not pressured after 200M when beaten. |
12 | 4 | VERY LUCKY (A380) | K C Ng | B1 | Pressed forward from draw 1, couldn't hold his position passing halfway, weakened badly to finish tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
13 | 8 | BEAUTY TIME (A374) | M L Yeung | H/TT | Towards the rear along stand's rail, out of touch passing 500M, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
