Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | HAPPY GOLF (H056) | H Bowman | TT- | Began well to be up with early leaders before sitting back to race ahead of midfield, quickened up smoothly to lead 250M, continued on well to the line for a comfortable win. |
2 | 8 | EASY SNIP (G211) | C L Chau | B | Jumped only fairly, soon taken across behind runners and settled in a 2-wide spot towards the rear, made good progress from 350M, got up for 2nd near 50M, held by winner final stages. |
3 | 3 | MODULECONSTRUCTION (H127) | C Y Ho | H-/TT | Chased leaders, had every chance turning home, not finishing pace of winner mid-straight, hung on for 2nd until near 50M. |
4 | 12 | STARRY NIGHT (G253) | K Teetan | B/TT | Settled ahead of midfield, brought wide to challenge 350M, stayed on mildly for non-threatening 4th. |
5 | 5 | RED HARE KING (H188) | Y L Chung | TT1 | Hard driven out the gate, moved up to press leader on outside, hung out throughout the majority of race, kept on same pace in the straight. (Racing manners unacceptable.) |
6 | 2 | LASER VICTORY (H176) | Z Purton | TT | Tracked leaders, checked 350M when going for a narrow passage, inclined to shift ground when placed under pressure and failed to make up ground after. (Jockey expressed concern with its action.) |
7 | 11 | SPEED FAY FAY (D121) | H Bentley | B | In midfield but unable to slot in, no closer than 3-wide throughout, ran on fairly passing 400M, never a serious threat. |
8 | 6 | WATCH BUDDY (H185) | A Badel | -- | Jumped only fairly, took up a midfield position along the 2-path, driven along 450M but never going the pace to challenge leaders. |
9 | 1 | EIGHT TRIGRAMS (C102) | H T Mo | B/TT | Worked to the lead, set pace from 900M while under pressure from a rival on outside, lacked further response after being headed 300M, weakened towards the line. |
10 | 9 | GLENEALY GENERALS (B475) | R Maia | B/XB | From widest draw dropped back to race at the back, had no clear running early straight, ran on fairly when switched out passing 300M. No threat on leaders. |
11 | 10 | FLYING GALLOP (G472) | M F Poon | TT | Began awkwardly, obtained running in midfield, pushed along 500M but failed to reach contention. |
12 | 4 | MOON CATCHER (G218) | M Chadwick | H1/P1/TT1 | Unhurried after the start, dropped back to race at the rear, became detached passing 800M, didn't respond to urging, never in the picture. |
