Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | FRAMES DEPOT (CG118) | D Whyte | B | Reasonable jump, severely checked near 1300 M but had a smooth run in midfield thereafter, quickened well on straightening to take the lead 150 M out, kept on to win with a little in hand. |
2 | 9 | MASTER MASTER (CH144) | B Doyle | V | Slotted into a 2-wide position better than midfield, well placed in 4th turning for home, led briefly near 200 M but was soon collared by the winner, rallied but unable to peg back. |
3 | 11 | AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) | H W Lai | B | Slow to begin, crossed to the fence behind runners and remained in the rear to straight, took time to get going and did his best work towards the finish. |
4 | 2 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | K C Leung | CP | Broke well, given a waiting ride in a rearward position, 5Ls behind leaders making the turn, ran on steadily inside 300 M without looking dangerous. |
5 | 12 | SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) | M W Leung | CP | Travelled 3-wide in a position behind midfield, 4Ls down inside 400 M, kept on in straight without troubling the first three. |
6 | 6 | ZERO GRAVITY (CH037) | M Chadwick | TT | Recovered from a slow start to race besides leader, briefly led in straight but found no extra inside 150 M. |
7 | 1 | GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) | B Prebble | B | Went forward and took hold of a rail position early, eased back to midfield entering the back straight, ran on fairly inside 350 M but was hampered 150 M and lost his chance from that point. |
8 | 4 | DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) | C W Wong | TT | Slow into stride, drifted back to the rear 8Ls off the pace but was unsettled in early stages, made a wide run into straight but couldn't quite pick up from off the pace. |
9 | 7 | COOL RUNNINGS (CK014) | J Winks | -- | In midfield early but was shuffled back down the back straight, attempted a run down the inside on straightening but was severely checked near 200 M and didn't have a clear crack. |
10 | 3 | MAGIC PRACTITIONER (CK125) | S K Sit | B1 | From a wide barrier used up plenty of early speed to cross for the lead, struggled to hold on early in straight and weakened rapidly from 200 M. |
11 | 5 | WEALTH SYNERGY (CJ133) | M Du Plessis | B | Went forward to race in a prominent position behind leaders, under urge making the home turn, trapped on the inner rails and was checked near 250 M and 200 M, never recovered. |
12 | 10 | KING OF TURF (CJ102) | M L Yeung | B2/H/TT | In a position better than midfield, unable to slot in and was forced 3-wide without cover throughout the race, under serious pressure to hold his position passing 500 M before dropping out quickly. |
