Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | DR POSSIBLE (CJ110) | D Whyte | -- | Average break, travelled one-off the fence in mid-division, found plenty when cleared 350 M, in charge 100 M out and won going away. |
2 | 3 | COOL CAT (CH330) | K C Leung | B | Took up the running, quickened in the middle stages and built up a 2Ls lead going into the straight, kept on well but was firmly put aside by the fast finishing winner 100 M out. |
3 | 9 | NAPA II (CJ248) | O Doleuze | -- | Slow into stride and held up in the rear, 7Ls down turning in, gradually picked up down the inside and closed right in on the 2nd late on. Encouraging debut. |
4 | 13 | FOREST STAR (CJ167) | M Chadwick | TT | Behind mid-division, 3-wide on the turn covered extra ground, ran on ok from off the pace but came too late to threaten the first three. |
5 | 2 | REGENCY KINGDOM (CK031) | F Coetzee | TT | First to jump, drifted back to midfield and raced 4Ls back on the fence, under urging from 500 M, couldn't step up a gear when required despite having no clear run from 300 M to 200 M. |
6 | 7 | HIGH RETURN (CK164) | B Prebble | SR1 | Average jump, one off the fence in a position behind midfield 7Ls off the pace, took some time to get going but stayed on ok towards the line. |
7 | 8 | MASTER RIO (CK188) | Z Purton | -- | Jumped well, ideally placed in 3rd, kept on in the first half the straight and showed some battling qualities, but effort flattened passing 150 M. |
8 | 1 | SOU MA TAM (CH253) | C Soumillon | B | Hard ridden early to go forward and raced one out one back from leader, responded fairly under urge before weakening inside 150 M. |
9 | 10 | QUANTUM EXPRESS (CK166) | Y T Cheng | -- | In a handy position early, lost some speed and shuffled back near 600 M, plugged on under pressure but found not much in reserves passing 200 M. |
10 | 14 | MATSUKAZE (CK150) | J Winks | B | Began awkwardly and lost ground, settled towards the rear in a 3-wide running position, taken very wide to make his challenge on straightening but never looked likely. |
11 | 6 | GRANDFIELD (CJ250) | M W Leung | -- | Lost ground at the start, held inside running in a position behind midfield 6 to 7Ls back, unable to quicken when the race got serious. No impression. |
12 | 11 | SPEEDY TYCOON (CK107) | M Du Plessis | H1/TT1 | Showed little pace in his debut and was struggling to keep up passing 800 M, trailed the field and gave no response to pressure. |
13 | 5 | GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Began well but eased back to a midfield position making the home turn, struggled to pick up when asked and faded out from 200 M. (Irregular Heart Rhythm.) |
14 | 12 | TIBIDABO (CK008) | C Williams | CP1 | Drifted back from a wide barrier, unable to cross and was caught very wide over the turn, soon left behind passing 300 M. |
