Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | REGENCY STAR (E399) | A Badel | CP1 | Crossed to the lead passing 1000M, set steady pace in middle stages, continued on well when asked top of straight and comfortably held off pursuing rivals final 200M. |
2 | 7 | PERFECT PEACH (E488) | C L Chau | B/H/TT | Reserved in midfield along the fence, took a while to get going on straightening, did best work final 200M to go 2nd close home. |
3 | 6 | JOYFUL MOOD (G107) | Z Purton | -- | Always well placed behind leaders in a slow run race, tried hard on straightening but couldn't quite close the gap on winner, lost 2nd near line. |
4 | 12 | MASTER ALBERT (A296) | H W Lai | B/E/TT | Settled midfield, 5th going into final turn, driven out 450M, put in a mild bid in the run home, just missed a minor placing. |
5 | 11 | KING'S TROOPER (C130) | R Maia | TT | Began awkwardly, held up towards the rear in a slow run race, responded well final 300M to claim 5th near line. |
6 | 3 | JAZZ STEED (C406) | K Teetan | TT | Jumped on terms, settled down behind midfield, bustled along 500M, stayed on moderately to the line, finished just behind 2nd and 3rd in a blanket finish. |
7 | 5 | HAPPILY FRIENDS (C533) | A Hamelin | V | Quickest away, restrained to sit behind leaders along the 2-path, fought on one paced in the straight, faded late and lost several places. |
8 | 10 | DASSIT (G017) | M L Yeung | -- | Taken back for cover, held up at the rear 7Ls off the pace in a slow run race, closed off final 400M fastest but left with too much to do. |
9 | 2 | LUCKY ARCHANGEL (E385) | H Bentley | CP/XB | Slowly away from draw 12, dropped back to race at the rear as opposed to obtaining a forward position, brought widest top of straight, ran on without troubling leaders. |
10 | 4 | NOBLE BOYZ (E156) | D Moor | SR/TT | Not hurried, settled towards the rear 5-6Ls back, gave limited response on straightening, never involved. |
11 | 1 | FLYING DRAGON (E360) | K C Leung | -- | Travelled strongly when racing wide down the back straight early stages, improved from 900M to race outside leader but inclined to lay out, hung on to 200M then weakened away. |
12 | 9 | NICHOLSON RETURNS (E452) | L Hewitson | B | From wide draw shifted across behind runners, settled towards the rear along the inside, couldn't go on passing 300M. Never dangerous. |
