Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | YO BEAUTY (E275) | A Hamelin | CP/H/TT | Broke sharply, soon crossed to the lead, kept on soundly over final 300M, was seriously challenged by rivals late but managed to hold on by a nose. |
2 | 6 | ARMOUR EAGLE (G093) | L Hewitson | B/XB/TT | Settled behind midfield, checked on straightening and again 250M, charged home late, just missed by a nose. Unlucky not to have won. |
3 | 9 | LESLIE (E471) | K C Leung | B | Held up 2-wide in mid-division, responded well from 300M, challenged strongly for the lead late, nearest finish. |
4 | 1 | STAR BRITE (G104) | C Y Ho | CP/TT | Never far off the pace in 5th spot, ran on well to the line under top weight for a creditable 4th, beaten less than a length. |
5 | 2 | NICCONI COUNTY (G208) | H Bowman | TT | Reserved in midfield along the fence 4Ls off the pace, chased on well passing 300M, held by first few late stages. |
6 | 7 | SKY FOREVER (E414) | L Currie | B/TT | Slow to begin, ended up racing at the rear, saved ground home turn, ran home mildly, not reach contention. |
7 | 8 | DIVINE SHINING (G373) | H Bentley | XB1 | Away with them, always prominent behind leaders, kept on steadily early straight, outsprinted by rivals final 150M |
8 | 3 | RED LION (H115) | Z Purton | -- | From draw 12 taken back to a 3-wide spot at the rear, 6Ls to make up top of straight, stayed on without threat. (Jockey: obliged to go back from wide draw, difficult to make ground in the straight.) |
9 | 11 | TELECOM SPEED (G259) | K Teetan | -- | Moved up to chase leaders in a 3-wide spot without cover, came under pressure 500M, run ended mid-straight, weakened towards the line. |
10 | 12 | ARIEL (G223) | M L Yeung | -- | Unhurried after the start, raced towards the rear 6Ls off the pace, failed to pick up on straightening, never dangerous. |
11 | 4 | HAPPY SHARING (G169) | L Ferraris | CP/TT | Bustled along early to be prompting the pace on outside, couldn't' go on passing 300M, tightened for room 150M when already beaten, eased. |
12 | 10 | SUMMIT CHEERS (E221) | M F Poon | TT | Restrained from draw 11 and shifted across behind runners early stages, last turning into straight and didn't respond to riding, never in the picture. |
