Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | WILLING STORM (CJ187) | D Beadman | H | Well enough away, travelled strongly in mid-division, swung wide on turning, picked up strongly to take charge near 200 M. Won decisively. |
2 | 9 | NOBLE MAN (CC099) | W M Lai | -- | Taken back from a wide barrier, raced towards the rear trailing 7Ls to leader, pressed on inside 400 M, closed off the race strongly but the winner has already sailed home. |
3 | 12 | MI REILLY (CJ199) | C W Wong | -- | Shaken up early to hold a prominent position 1 back, travelled nicely for much of the way, threatened with a strong run down the inside but was gradually outpaced by the winner inside final 200 M. |
4 | 10 | PLAN B (CJ123) | Y T Cheng | TT | Quickly away, eased off to take a sit behind leaders, in a perfect spot to strike turning in, unable to seriously threaten the winner but kept on well to the line. |
5 | 3 | BEAR MACHO (CG152) | M Chadwick | -- | Enjoyed a good trail along the rail with the help of the inside draw, never far off the leaders throughout, ran on OK in straight without troubling the first three. |
6 | 2 | HIGH POINT (CH215) | G Mosse | B- | Pressed on to assume a position slightly better than midfield, chased the leaders and, though keeping on, could not step up a gear when placed under pressure inside 300 M. |
7 | 11 | VICTORY CONQUEROR (CJ230) | K L Chui | XB1/TT | Average beginning, lacked early speed and settled in a rearward position 7Ls back, had to switch wide for clear running in straight, made some headway inside final 200 M. (Questioned.) |
8 | 7 | BUNDLE O' GOLD (CJ311) | B Doyle | -- | Taken back on jumping, raced keenly in a position behind midfield, taken to 3-wide rounding the bend, ran home one-paced. |
9 | 5 | TOM'S SIX (CG264) | W C Marwing | B | Lost ground at the start, given a waiting ride in the rear, had 7Ls to make up turning in, switched wide to challenge but couldn't make any impression. |
10 | 1 | FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) | D Whyte | -- | Made use early to overcome a wide barrier, pulled his way to 2nd approaching home turn, under pressure shortly on straightening, gave ground from 200 M. |
11 | 6 | ULTRA FANTASY (CG311) | J Winks | B/TT1 | Travelled in midfield 5Ls off the pace, found little in straight, never a factor. |
12 | 4 | CANNONISE (CD377) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Hard ridden early, crossed to the lead after entering the back straight, pressed by a runner on the outside, inclined to hang out turning in, soon beaten. (Jockey reported uncomfortable action with the horse.) |
