Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | AQUILA (C248) | C Schofield | -- | Quickly into stride, tracked leaders in 3rd, going well turning into straight, quickened to the front nearing 200M, drew nicely clear winning comfortably. |
2 | 4 | MEGA HEART (A148) | M L Yeung | XB/TT | Held up along the fence in midfield, 6th at 800M 4Ls off the pace, stayed on well to go 2nd 50M out, no chance with easy winner. |
3 | 3 | HOLY HEART (C443) | C Y Ho | H/TT1 | Dropped back after the jump, unable to slot in from draw 11, caught very wide home turn, ran on well over final 300M to claim 3rd near line. |
4 | 1 | MOST BEAUTIFUL (A022) | G van Niekerk | B/TT | Began only fairly, settled towards the rear, had wide trip, crept closer 600M, kept on steadily turning home, just missed 3rd. |
5 | 7 | UTOPIA LIFE (C166) | K H Chan | B | Driven forward, took outright lead passing 800M, headed by winner nearing 200M, no extra final 100M, lost several places close home. |
6 | 8 | FLYING BONUS (B433) | U Rispoli | -- | Chased leaders in 4th, found no extra on straightening, never a threat to leaders. |
7 | 2 | JUST NOT LISTENING (B192) | Z Purton | B | Pressed forward, vied for early lead before settling down behind leader, driven 400M but didn't respond to riding, weakened away mid-straight. (Jockey : not able to finish off the race after being challenged in the lead.) |
8 | 6 | UNITE SPIRIT (C494) | L Hewitson | XB1 | Held up behind midfield, 6-7Ls behind leader home turn, ran past beaten horses in the straight. No impression on leaders. |
9 | 5 | SO GLORIOUS (C430) | H N Wong | H1 | Badly unbalanced when crowded for room on jumping, settled 3-4Ls off the pace in 5th, struggled passing 400M, soon out of contention. |
10 | 12 | SMART CHARADE (A314) | H W Lai | B/H/TT | Dropped back from wide barrier, held up near last on inside, 6Ls to make up 400M, failed to make ground. |
11 | 10 | EXALTATION (C370) | M F Poon | B/TT | Slowly into stride, detached from field early stages, always back, never ran on. |
12 | 11 | HAPPY VICTORY (B195) | H T Mo | -- | Began awkwardly, never better than midfield the trip, 8th at 400M, weakened passing 300M to finish last. |
