Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | E UNIVERSE (H151) | L Hewitson | TT | Showed good pace to lead, skipped away early straight opening up a sizeable lead, eased late and had his winning margin reduced to a neck. (Jockey reprimanded for failing to ride out to the line.) |
2 | 6 | DOUBLE BINGO (J309) | L Ferraris | -- | Away in line, given a waiting ride near the rear, closed off strongly final 300M and was rapidly making ground on the eventual winner who had been eased final stages. |
3 | 10 | HAPPY FEELING (H443) | B Thompson | CP-/B2/TT | From draw 1 bustled along early to hold a midfield spot along the fence, kept on steadily final 300M for a non-threatening 3rd. |
4 | 11 | TACTICAL COMMAND (H197) | A Badel | B | From wide draw dropped back to race in last, had the task ahead at 400M with 9Ls to make up, finished off well to take 4th. |
5 | 3 | EASY SNIP (G211) | C L Chau | B | Jumped on terms, maintained a midfield spot, 6Ls to make up 400M, held up 300M-250M before closing off the race moderately. (Jockey reported post race his horse had its tongue over the bit.) |
6 | 12 | WOODFIRE CHAMP (H292) | M L Yeung | TT | Away quickly, tracked leaders, 4th at 400M, briefly went 2nd mid-straight but peaked on its run 150M. |
7 | 4 | HOSS (H055) | K Teetan | B/TT | Slow to begin, settled near last 8Ls off pace, stayed on without threatening over final 300M. |
8 | 8 | SUPER EAGLE (G408) | K De Melo | TT | Began well, always stayed in touch behind leading trio, couldn't pick up pace when asked early straight, soon out of contention. |
9 | 2 | STREET CONQUEROR (H341) | Z Purton | B1/TT | Had to make early use from a wide draw to obtain a forward position outside leader, no extra nearing 200M, weakened away. (Jockey: may be better suited being ridden more conservatively in early stages.) |
10 | 9 | KING OBERON (H407) | A Atzeni | H- | Away well enough, dropped back to a midfield spot along the 3-path, couldn't go on passing 300M. No impression on leaders. |
11 | 1 | HAPPY GOLF (H056) | H Bowman | -- | From wide draw taken across behind rivals, reserved behind midfield, failed to finish off under top weight. (Bled.) |
12 | 7 | REGENT GLORY (E323) | H Bentley | B | Pressed forward to be racing just off leader, struggled to keep up nearing 400M, soon beaten on straightening. (Lame next day.) |
