Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | OCEAN WIDE (CJ132) | M Du Plessis | H/TT | Led by 1L on fence at 1000 M and similar margin clear entering home straight, quickened up well and always repelling his rivals. |
2 | 2 | CHATER POWER (CG312) | G Mosse | B/TT | Went back from widest gate, 7Ls behind in 10th at 600 M, ran on strongly down the centre to take 2nd place. |
3 | 9 | TIGER RIDGE (CD084) | O Doleuze | B/TT | 3-back on fence between 3Ls and 4Ls off speed in 6th right until being checked turning for home, stayed on well along the rails to just nick a place. |
4 | 6 | SUPER SNIPPETS (CG217) | D Whyte | B | 5Ls back in 9th out 2-wide in middle stages, closer out 5-wide (widest of all) turning in, ran on well in the straight and missed the money by a nose. |
5 | 3 | BRILLIANT ONE (CG212) | E Saint-Martin | -- | 4-back on rails in 8th about 5Ls off pace at 700 M and marginally closer off last bend, without clear running at 200 M and kept on again, wasn't far away. |
6 | 10 | FLYING GALLOP (CK034) | Y T Cheng | -- | 4Ls and 2-wide back in midfield at 600 M, held up into straight, not helped by somewhat restricted running in the stretch but still a sound debut. |
6 | 12 | VALUE CHOICE (CG213) | K T Yeung | B | Held the 'one-out-one-back' position about 2Ls off pace until home straight, 1L back in 2nd at the 200 M, had his chance to place. |
8 | 7 | WIN A DOZEN (CH262) | C K Tong | B/TT | Box-seated about 2Ls off pace in 3rd until the home straight, had every chance at the 200 M and no excuses for not producing a better finish. |
9 | 8 | FLY HIGH (CH126) | S K Sit | B | No early speed, 5-back along the rails in rear, 7Ls behind at halfway, 4Ls back off last turn and at 200 M, tight for room and not tested final 50 M. |
10 | 1 | SOUTH DAKOTA (CJ166) | K L Chui | XB/TT | Slowest away and under pressure in rear at the 600 M when 6Ls behind, never on terms with the main body of the field. |
11 | 4 | WHISKY POWER (CH291) | H W Lai | B-/H | 1L back in 2nd out 2-wide at 800 M and in a similar into the last section, surrendered tamely inside the final 300 M. |
12 | 11 | MY TIME (CJ310) | C W Wong | TT | Close up but 3-wide without cover until the home straight, about 2Ls down and losing ground before home turn, dropped out further. |
