Section 1
Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 11 | FAST WINNER (CG140) | M Du Plessis | BO1 | Disputed early pace on the fence, slipped 1L clear at the 600 M and pulled further ahead in the straight to win unchallenged. |
2 | 10 | MR FLOODLIGHT (CG257) | B Prebble | B | Lost ground at the start, 4-back the fence about 6Ls back in 12th at the 800 M, ran on strongly in the final 300 M to nick 2nd close home. |
3 | 13 | ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) | K L Chui | V | Went back to last from gate 13, 8Ls off at the 800 M but edged closer turning for home, stayed on pretty well for a place, steadily improving. |
4 | 6 | TOP SPEED (CH019) | K C Leung | B | Settled midfield between 3Ls and 4Ls from the speed through to home turn, was then held up until 250 M out, appeared unlucky not to place. |
5 | 5 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | C K Tong | SR/V | Disputed early speed with the winner out 2-wide, 1L back in 2nd off the last curve, one-paced inside the final 200 M. |
6 | 14 | SO NICE (CG110) | H W Lai | XB | Taken back to 12th at least 6Ls from the early pace and much the same but wide turning for home, made some minor late ground, nearest at finish. |
7 | 12 | SUPER RED (CG230) | M Chadwick | CP/XB/TT | 3-wide no cover when 1L back in 3rd at 1000 M, wide throughout, 2Ls down in 3rd turning for home, soon petered out after the extra work. |
8 | 2 | BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) | W M Lai | TT | One from rear about 7Ls from initial pace, widest (5-wide) and last about 6Ls back swinging for home, made only minor late ground. |
9 | 4 | FASTER FASTER (CG010) | D Whyte | CP | Slowly away as usual, recovered to race around midfield on fence at halfway, place prospects when 2Ls back in 4th at the 200 M before the run peaked. |
10 | 8 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | P H Lo | SR/CP/TT | Raced wide throughout sometimes without cover when around midfield and 3Ls from the front, began to retreat by the 200 M. |
11 | 1 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | B Doyle | B | 3-wide with cover about 4Ls from the pace in mid-division at the 800 M, one-paced in the home straight and no danger inside final 200 M. |
12 | 9 | TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) | O Doleuze | B/TT | On the leader's back on rails in 4th at the 800 M, under pressure despite this soft run turning for home and quickly wilted. |
13 | 7 | NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) | Z Purton | B | Handy position in 5th about 3Ls from pace with cover through to straightening, found zero off the bit, disappointing effort. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
14 | 3 | SPY KING (CE205) | T H So | V/XB/TT | Midfield about 4Ls from the pace at first, further back off last turn and soon eased down. |
