Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | UNIQUE JEWELLERY (CH196) | D Whyte | -- | Quickly into stride, taken to a prominent spot behind leaders, travelled well throughout, crept up to lead from 250 M, rapidly accelerated away to win in good style. |
2 | 6 | HURRICANE DASH (CJ186) | W C Marwing | XB/TT | Taken back on jumping, settled towards the rear 7Ls behind leader, delivered a strong finish down the outside of track to take 2nd on the line. |
3 | 2 | ELITE CHAMPION (CJ096) | E Saint-Martin | TT1 | Began moderately, guided to a more prominent spot in front of midfield, 4Ls off the leader 2-wide, angled into clear inside 400 M, ran on well but couldn't match the winner's turn of foot. |
4 | 8 | SINGING DINERS (CH063) | H W Lai | TT | Standard jump, slotted into a midfield position 3-wide niggling along on turn, fought on strongly under pressure to finish a creditable 4th. (1st start after a long absence from track.) |
5 | 10 | UPSIDE OF ANGER (CH317) | Z Purton | XB | Eased to the rear after start, switched wide on turning covering ground, dashed home well down the outside without threat to the winner. |
6 | 4 | HORACE'S CHOICE (CH169) | C K Tong | H/TT | Taken back on jumping, settled 5Ls back behind midfield, difficult to settle in early stages, picked up well entering 300 M but run ended when crowded for room inside 200 M. Not fully tested. |
7 | 14 | HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Unable to cross from the outside barrier and was left racing wide without cover in mid-division, ran home fairly under pressure but lacked extra gear. |
8 | 5 | RICE FIELD (CE134) | D Beadman | TT | Standard beginning, assumed a midfield position 4 to 5Ls behind leader, not suited by the early pace, switched wide to improve on turning, briefly led 350 M out but unable to sustain effort, weakened inside 200 M. |
9 | 9 | ROMPING (CK038) | B Doyle | -- | Slightly slow out, settled 5Ls back along inside, saved ground on bend, made some progress on straightening, checked near 150 M. |
10 | 7 | BLEDISLOE (CK073) | F Coetzee | -- | Even back, drifted back to a rearward position 8Ls behind leader, lacked finish and only beat tired horses in run to line. |
11 | 11 | TEAM WORK (CH276) | M L Yeung | B- | Bounced out well, pressed forward to race alongside leader, struggled to improve at 300 M when they dashed, weakened inside 200 M. |
12 | 13 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | Y T Cheng | -- | Hard ridden to take closer order better than midfield, tracked well on turning, didn't produce a finish in straight and just plugged away to line. |
13 | 1 | BEAUTY FOREVER (CK074) | K L Chui | TT1 | Awkwardly away, failed to muster early speed, ended up racing towards the rear about 7Ls back, struggled on turning and didn't pick up under pressure. |
14 | 12 | MR COOL (CD071) | C W Wong | B/TT | One of the first to jump, pushed forward to take up running on the rail under a steady tempo, had pressure from outside horses on bend, folded up under pressure inside 300 M, dropped out. |
