Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | MORE BOUNTIFUL (CJ094) | D Whyte | -- | Allowed to drift back on jumping and given a patient ride throughout, still last going into final 400 M but he came through a gap between horses to hit full stride inside 200 M. Won with something in hand. |
2 | 4 | FELLOWSHIP (CG292) | Z Purton | TT | Had a smooth run in mid-division, switched wide turning in, picked up strongly and hit front inside 200 M, kept on but was picked off over the final stages. Ran a creditable race but the winner was too strong. |
3 | 1 | VIVA PATACA (CG096) | D Beadman | H | Held up at the back of the field on the inside, 8Ls behind passing halfway, attempted a run down the inside and looked a possible winner near 200 M but appeared to have flattened out over the concluding stages. |
4 | 3 | ARMADA (CE246) | M Du Plessis | -- | Prominent early before settling down in a better than midfield position, chased them throughout in the straight but, despite keeping on, couldn't pick up sufficiently to feature in the finish. |
5 | 8 | SIGHT WINNER (CJ049) | K T Yeung | -- | Away with them, settled 4Ls back in midfield along the fence, had a relaxed trip to straight, had to switch several times inside 350 M for a clear run, ran on nicely. |
6 | 11 | UNIQUE JEWELLERY (CH196) | O Doleuze | -- | Switched off to the rear on jumping, 9Ls away in middle stages, swung wide into home straight, stayed on OK giving some late impression. |
7 | 5 | HAWKES BAY (CG064) | B Prebble | XB | 4Ls back in mid-division throughout, 2-wide turning in, ran on well early in straight and looked a danger near 250 M, but couldn't sustain his challenge late on. |
8 | 9 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | W C Marwing | TT | Ridden forward after the start, raced prominently in 3rd behind leaders, held every chance on straightening but his run peaked near 200 M, no extra close home. |
9 | 2 | PACKING WINNER (CE334) | W M Lai | -- | Standard jump, rolled along the fence to settle in a forward position one back from leader, couldn't quicken when asked and could keep on one-paced only. |
10 | 6 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | J Lloyd | CP | Always in the front rank, vied for lead passing 800 M, pressed on from 350 M but found very little in the run to the line, dropped away inside 100 M. |
11 | 10 | REGENCY DRAGON (CH001) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | First time over a mile. Took up the running as expected, had his lead challenged making the turn, swamped passing 200 M, weakened rapidly thereafter. |
12 | 7 | SUNNY KING (CH105) | J Winks | XB/H/TT | In a rearward position along the fence, found nothing turning into straight, eased down. (Irregular heart rhythm 2nd time.) |
