Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | PLEZAYRE (CG116) | O Doleuze | XB/TT | Reasonable jump, up leading those in middle of track, travelled well 1L down to mid-point, finished hard to take lead out 200 M, weakened a little last 100 M but held on by a narrow margin. |
2 | 12 | WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) | M Nunes | TT | Away with line, back in pack 3Ls away with cover, had easy time and tracked well at 300 M, dashed hard when gap appeared at 200 M, motored late and just missed. |
3 | 6 | SILENT DRAGON (CG200) | D Whyte | XB | Fastest out, shared lead on stand side rail, always prominent and travelled well to 300 M, just struggled to find again at the business end but kept on very well for 3rd. |
4 | 1 | GIGA SPIRITS (CE335) | K L Chui | XB/TT | Out fairly well, didn't show much early and settled behind them, raced 4Ls back towards middle, inconvenienced at 400 M when moving into clear, got going late finishing hard to make the frame. |
5 | 7 | TREASURE COLT (CE308) | C W Wong | TT | Bounced out well, led them towards outside rail, kept running and was 1L clear at mid-point, hung throughout yet still prominent to 100 M, just ran out of gas late. |
6 | 3 | SOLAR MIGHTY (CH124) | G Mosse | TT | Standard break, raced in middle from an inside draw, 4Ls back throughout, made some progress 3Ls back at 300 M, maintained position without threatening last 200 M. Even. |
7 | 9 | SALUT BEAUTE (CB189) | K T Yeung | TT | Ordinary break, regathered to trail them 2Ls in behind near outside rail, tracked well but caught flat footed at 400 M, kept on and made some late ground despite never looking likely. |
8 | 5 | BUCCANEER (CH214) | F Coetzee | -- | Jumped well, raced off stand side 1 to 2Ls from leaders, right there throughout, close enough at 200 M but condition gave out and weakened late, better for run. |
9 | 10 | SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) | W M Lai | -- | Even break, raced 3Ls from them towards middle, struggling at 400 M, couldn't find when they sprinted and just battled away last 200 M. |
10 | 8 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | K S Yu | -- | Sweated up badly prior to start, OK jump and positioned 4Ls back in midfield, didn't have much to offer at business end and produced a one paced effort in the run to the line. |
11 | 4 | CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) | Y T Cheng | -- | Slow to begin, raced on outside rail 5 to 6Ls from pace, couldn't go early speed and struggling at mid-point. Didn't make any impact last 300 M just plugging to finish. |
12 | 11 | LUCKY DANSKE (CD364) | M W Leung | TT | Slow by 10Ls, raced detached at rear, always struggling to regain lost ground, never got closer. |
