Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | MAJESTIC KNIGHT (G258) | K Teetan | B | Positively ridden, tracked leader on settling, challenged down center of track and hit lead near 200M, dug deep late under pressure to just prevail. Game effort. |
2 | 8 | WONDER KIT (G455) | L Hewitson | CP | Fast into stride, held position just off leaders on settling, fought on well for much of the straight, gave everything but just came up short. |
3 | 1 | HOWDEEPISYOURLOVE (H093) | B Avdulla | -- | Travelled well in midfield before moving closer to leaders 500M, loomed up mid-straight and fought hard to the line for a close 3rd. |
4 | 2 | SON PAK FU (G265) | C L Chau | BO | Dropped back and trailed the field, 8Ls to make up 400M, finished decently and came from well back to claim 4th. Too much to do. (Jockey questioned re his riding.) |
5 | 9 | WINNING ICEY (G246) | H Bentley | TT | Away with them, maintained a midfield position 5Ls off the pace, ran on steadily passing 300M without threatening first 3. |
6 | 12 | HARMONY N BLESSED (E061) | M Chadwick | B/TT | From draw 12 driven to find the lead, caught nearing 200M, no extra late and faded to finish 6th. |
7 | 10 | GOKO WIN (H069) | A Badel | B | Settled in the back half of the field, 9th at mid-way, brought wide into straight but only worked home fairly. |
8 | 4 | MAJESTIC STAR (E203) | A Atzeni | TT | Jumped on terms, settled down behind midfield, 6Ls to make up 400M but was just fair throughout the home straight. |
9 | 3 | NORDIC DRAGON (G467) | L Ferraris | TT | Reserved towards the rear, swung widest into straight but gave very little in the run home. Never threatened. |
10 | 7 | DREAM WINNER (H308) | C Y Ho | CP | In midfield early stages, struggled to maintain position 600M, already beaten top of straight. (Jockey reported his horse is still somewhat immature.) |
11 | 11 | IMA SINGLE MAN (D476) | Y L Chung | H/B2/TT | Held up near last, had plenty to do 400M but failed to respond under pressure, never in it. |
12 | 5 | ASTROLOGER (G102) | K C Leung | SR | From draw 11 caught wide no cover early stages, moved closer to leaders making home turn, didn't go on with it passing 300M, weakened to last. |
