Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | SAPELLI (CK191) | B Prebble | -- | Out in line, ended up in midfield 6Ls or so off pace, suited by tempo in middle stages, improved from 400 M, extended nicely final 200 M to win with some in hand. |
2 | 13 | AMNESTY (CK051) | K W Leung | XB-/B/TT | Outpaced early stages, raced 3 wide in midfield 6Ls back, had cover to bend, shifted wider turning and closed genuinely down middle, couldn't wear down margin. |
3 | 2 | ELEGANCE DESIRE (CL102) | D Beadman | XB | No early speed, back behind midfield 7 to 8Ls off top end, tracked eventual winner on bend, in traffic and hampered at 300 M, closed soundly when clear. |
4 | 11 | ROYAL KNIGHT (CL094) | J Victoire | CP1/TT | Faded back from a wide alley, back 9Ls from top end, aided by strong tempo, took run between horses on turning, worked home nicely from rear. |
5 | 3 | WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) | J Lloyd | TT1 | No early speed, assumed usual role near to rear 8 to 9Ls off leaders, helped with speed on, in traffic turning to 200 M, made some ground when clear. |
6 | 6 | MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) | G Mosse | B-/TT | Drifted back from widest draw, 8Ls off pace 3 wide with cover, suited by circumstances, even wider turning, closed steadily in straight. |
7 | 1 | SPECIAL K (CK114) | T H So | B/TT | Away in line, 3 wide with cover 4 to 5Ls away early, difficult to settle and improved position on bend, kept on to 200 M before run ended. |
8 | 4 | CLASSA (CK267) | H W Lai | B-/H1 | Crowded at start, soon a clear last, needed urging early stages, best part of 10Ls down on circle, made some minor ground late when race was over. |
9 | 8 | PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) | W C Marwing | TT | Average jump, ridden up to hold a spot outside leader, worked with challenge from outside horse, kept going to 250 M, unable to lift when gas ran out. |
10 | 14 | DREAM HORSE (CG029) | M W Leung | H/TT | Bounced to lead, kept a genuine pace on, in 3 way battle on circle, still there to 200 M but stopped soon after due to early work. |
11 | 10 | ETERNAL BEAUTY (CL012) | Y T Cheng | TT | Pressed forward, used too much petrol early challenging for front, unable to slot in and posted 3 wide without cover on circle, kept working to turn, hard run took toll final 200 M. |
12 | 5 | INVINCIBLE HEART (CL071) | C K Tong | TT | Away reasonably, slotted in 3Ls back on rails, followed a strong speed to bend, urged turning, never really picked up. |
13 | 12 | JEN TRUMPS (CL011) | Z Purton | -- | Fair beginning, soft trip 6Ls away to turn, saved ground in straight and made some progress to 250 M, weakened out thereafter. |
14 | 7 | GLOBAL WIN (CG109) | B Doyle | B/TT | Even getaway, made use of to get a spot on back of speed, did work with decent tempo, under pressure straightening, dropped right out. |
