Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) | W C Marwing | TT | Worse than midfield on rails down the back, 5Ls off turning in, held up briefly 300 M out, quickened well once clear to lead 70 M out, tidily. |
2 | 4 | HOT SUN (CJ005) | K C Leung | -- | Soon led on fence, vied for the lead in places but 1L in front again entering homestretch, soon tackled for the lead before being headed 70 M, held 2nd okay. |
3 | 3 | REAL PLEASURE (CJ021) | B Prebble | B1 | Box-seated on rails in 3rd about 2Ls from pace at 1000 M, 1L back in 2nd off final turn, upsides at 300 M, couldn't follow through to win, held a place. |
4 | 10 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | D Whyte | B/SR | Held up in 12th or so at least 6Ls from the speed before halfway, a little closer into straight, just over 1L back in 3rd at 200 M, run peaked. |
5 | 6 | MASTER MASTER (CH144) | J Winks | V | Slowly away, 2-wide and 5Ls back in 8th at 1000 M and much the same spinning for home, never troubled the principals. |
6 | 14 | SO NICE (CG110) | H W Lai | XB | Slowest out and 8Ls back in rear at the 1000 M, 6Ls back in 12th off last turn, ran on through beaten rivals to conclude. |
7 | 7 | MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) | O Doleuze | XB/TT | Lost ground at start, rearward at least 7Ls from pace through first half, 4Ls back in midfield with place prospects at the 200 M, no extra. |
8 | 12 | SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) | C W Wong | CP | Never travelling very well, 4-back on rails at first, midfield about 4Ls back off last bend, briefly loomed a place hope at the 200 M, tired late. |
9 | 11 | AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) | M W Leung | V-/B2 | 3-wide no cover when at least 7Ls from the pace for much of back straight, 6Ls adrift turning for home, never better than midfield. (Tactic questioned.) |
10 | 8 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | P H Lo | SR/CP/TT | Went forward, nicely placed 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th at the 1000 M, pressured to retain this proximity off last turn, weakened steadily. |
11 | 1 | FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) | T H So | V | Raced in 5th while 3-back on the fence at the 1000 M, 4Ls down and still 5th turning for home, no excuses for not finishing off better. |
12 | 5 | PALIO KING (CG073) | G Mosse | -- | Tame performance, always rearward at least 7Ls from the leaders until home turn, kept chasing the majority of the field. (Injured.) |
13 | 13 | SUPER RED (CG230) | M Chadwick | CP/XB/TT | Went forward but taken on in front and couldn't establish an outright lead, pressured to keep up before the home, dropped out, to trial. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
14 | 2 | OWNERS LAD (CG273) | Z Purton | B | Checked at the 1000 M when close-up, 4Ls back in 6th at halfway and losing touch taking final bend, very one-paced, to trial. |
