Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | KEEP ME (CJ079) | H W Lai | B | Box-seated or 3-back the fence behind a strong pace before straightening when going well, quickened up to lead about 150 M out, kept on strongly. |
2 | 2 | SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) | J Lloyd | B | No early pace, 8Ls last 600 M out, suited by the strong tempo and ran over the top of several rivals to nick 2nd late. |
3 | 10 | ROCKALOT (CH163) | B Prebble | B/TT | 4-back the rails about 6Ls off in 10th at 1000 M, 5Ls back turning for home, ran on well late, done for 2nd close home. |
4 | 12 | SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) | C W Wong | B- | Disputed fast pace at 1200 M, still upsides out 2-wide off home turn, was entitled to wilt after working hard so he did well to hold down 4th. (Tactic questioned.) |
5 | 8 | HEALTHY BLUEBERRY (CK222) | Y T Cheng | -- | Disputed a speedy tempo on fence at 1100 M, still upsides taking final bend, weakened out of the picture inside final 200 M. |
6 | 1 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | S K Sit | -- | Midfield on the inner within 3Ls or 4Ls from the speed before final bend, had his chance to place but lacked a change of gear. |
7 | 5 | MARK UP (CK247) | O Doleuze | -- | Awkward break, settled 9th at the 1200 M, over-raced at the 800 M when 4Ls back, 5-wide (widest) off last bend in 10th, one-paced to wrap up. |
8 | 4 | NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) | J Victoire | -- | Switched inside from widest gate, 2-wide and rear at 1000 M, soon 3-wide with cover, hampered entering straight, never likely from then on. |
9 | 6 | SPLENDID CHAMPION (CL041) | K L Chui | TT1 | In front rank 1L off pace but 3-wide no cover from 1200 M to 600 M, struggling to keep up turning in, very one-paced. |
10 | 3 | LUCKY MONEY (CE159) | M W Leung | V | Slow to muster early pace, wide off first bend and pressed on 4-wide no cover from the 700 M, 1L down in 3rd entering straight, soon faded. |
11 | 11 | NAMJONG FIGHTERS (CG308) | C K Tong | B | 4-wide no cover at the 1300 M, soon got cover and 3Ls back at halfway, hampered into homestretch, weakened. |
12 | 9 | MARVELLOUS (CH026) | G Cheyne | V/TT | Held the 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th or so just forward of the winner KEEP ME until the 800 M, very weak in the final quarter. |
