Horse Name Jockey Gear Comment
1 1 HORSE WIN WIN (CJ078) D Whyte -- Always better than midfield towards inner, 3Ls back at halfway and closer turning for home, 1L down at the 200 M, kept on well to lead close home.
2 3 AMBITIOUS OWNER (CJ106) K T Yeung B/XB/TT A neck in 2nd at the 1000 M, led shortly after straightening for home, 1L clear at the 200 M, ground down by the winner in final strides.
3 4 SURE GOOD (CJ240) J Winks B 4Ls back in midfield at 1000 M, pushed out 4-wide no cover at 600 M, over 2Ls back in 4th turning for home, kept on at the same pace to just nick 3rd.
4 11 SOLAR UP (CK065) S K Sit -- Taken back from the start, 4-back on rails about 5Ls from speed leaving back straight, closer off last bend, one-paced but still nearly placed.
5 2 CHEEKY LAD (CG198) B Prebble V-/B2 About 5Ls off pace in 10th or so at the 1000 M, still rearward 3-wide but with cover on the circle, had his chance to place, went close.
6 8 HIGH NOTE (CK081) D Beadman B/TT 7Ls off pace in rear down the back, only marginally closer off last curve, could only wrap up at the one pace.
7 5 BROTHERHOOD (CJ259) M Chadwick TT Fractious in the gates, nicely placed on rails just behind the lead 2Ls back until straightening, very weak to conclude given the cushy trip.
8 12 SPARKLING (CK149) K C Leung B1 Led by a neck on the fence early on but headed soon after straightening, very weak to wind up.
9 10 PACKING FRIEND (CK109) H W Lai -- Slipped in (illegally) from wide gate to hold 'one-out-one-back' position at 900 M, weakened in the straight. (Bled.)
10 7 GOSHAWK (CK144) J Lloyd -- Never on terms, always at least 6Ls from the pace in rear.
11 14 WILD ACE (CH009) W C Marwing CP/TT 3-wide no cover about 1L back in 3rd until the 600 M, very laboured in the straight after the tough passage.
12 6 FABULOUS START (CK151) W M Lai -- Prominent early on before easing back to midfield 4Ls off pace at the 800 M, continued to lose further ground.
13 9 I KNOW I CAN (CJ287) B Doyle -- A little worse than midfield 5Ls off pace at the 1000 M, fizzled out steadily from then on.
14 13 SHAXI BABY (CJ122) M Du Plessis -- Severely checked at the 1100 M, 8Ls last at halfway, never got into it.
