Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | FORTE (CB351) | M Nunes | CP1 | Jumped nicely, sat 3Ls off leader on outside rail, still 2nd at midpoint hanging as usual, made good run from 400 M, hit lead at 100 M, held them well in run to line. |
2 | 2 | VIVA FIGHTER (CG307) | F Coetzee | B | Away only fairly, mustered to be in middle off pack 4Ls down midway off outside rail, still back in field at 400 M, got going last furlong to do best work late and snatch 2nd. |
3 | 3 | TOP STITCH (CE273) | K T Yeung | TT | Showed abundant speed from outset, lead by 3Ls towards outside rail, kept running at a solid tempo, began to weaken as usual passing 200 M, faded last 100 M just holding 3rd. |
4 | 6 | HOLI RAVIOLI (CG201) | G Mosse | -- | Away with rest, held a spot in midfield towards outside 4 to 5Ls back, improved gradually from the midpoint, looked a place chance at 200 M but just couldn't make up ground at same rate as others. Steadied slightly late. |
5 | 13 | SILVER WRAITH (CE178) | S K Sit | B | Average getaway, at rear of main bunch 6Ls back towards outside rail, still had plenty to do at 400 M, progressed steadily and warmed up late over what was an insufficient trip. |
6 | 12 | PERSEVERANCE (CD243) | H W Lai | -- | Bounced out with them, raced in middle of track 4Ls down in midfield, under pressure from 400 M, didn't produce a dash but held ground nevertheless in run to line. Reasonable return after a layoff. |
7 | 4 | KUNG FU (CE289) | O Doleuze | P1/H | Began evenly, lead division in middle of track 3Ls off horses on outside rail, 4Ls down at midpoint, began to struggle from 300 M and faded late when condition gave out. |
7 | 7 | DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) | Y T Cheng | -- | Checked early and lost ground, raced at tail towards outside rail, raced 7Ls from lead, still well back at 400 M, did best work late and managed to pass a few over last furlong. |
9 | 1 | SUNNY DESERT (CB346) | W M Lai | B/SR | Out with rest, took up a spot 4Ls back on outside rail, had an even trip with cover throughout, lacked another gear last 300 M and just kept on at one pace in run to line. |
10 | 11 | CARELESS WHISPER (CE123) | C K Tong | B-/XB1/TT- | Awkwardly away, raced at tail 7Ls back in middle of track, shifted in and out at midpoint, made some ground to pass tired horses last 300 M but never looked likely. |
11 | 14 | ZERO GRAVITY (CH037) | K L Chui | TT | Checked early, forced to race in rear 6Ls off them on outside rail, made some ground to 400 M, all out to dash again and struggled to line last 200 M. |
12 | 8 | HEART TO HEART (CH160) | E Saint-Martin | XB1 | Jumped with rest, raced behind midfield towards centre of track, raced greenly 6 to 7Ls back, found little under pressure and only beat weakening runners in finish. |
13 | 10 | POWER DRAGON (CG084) | B Prebble | XB1 | Began reasonably, raced behind them towards middle of track, still 5Ls back at midpoint, ridden along from 400 M but failed to find and dropped out late. |
14 | 9 | MOUNT SURPLUS (CH122) | D Nikolic | -- | Moderate jump, prominent towards middle of course 3 to 4Ls off lead, there until 300 M but condition gave out and dropped right out of it late. |
