Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | QUANTUM POWER (M134) | Z Purton | H/XB | Travelled nicely in a rail position ahead of midfield, moved out near 400M in search of room, awkwardly placed from 300-200M, got going again 150M from home, surged late to get up close home. |
2 | 3 | SUPER GENKI (CH195) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Slow to muster and raced as the back-marker about 8Ls off the pace, finished off strongly but not matched winner's pace final 100M. |
3 | 13 | SCENT OF OSMANTHUS (CL341) | C K Tong | V- | In touch, responded well once in line for home, briefly led from 150M, caught late. |
4 | 4 | PEPPERMINT (M192) | W C Marwing | -- | Restrained to a 2-wide position towards the tail of the field, travelled strongly to straight but had not much room until 200M, finished fastest of all and should have been closer. |
5 | 14 | BIG WINNER AGAIN (CJ170) | G Cheyne | V/TT | Taken back to the rear and was 7-8Ls behind leaders in middle stages, shifted to the outside of straight turning in and stayed on from off the pace. |
6 | 11 | LIONS' FORTUNE (CJ114) | Y T Cheng | TT | Awkwardly away, was well covered behind midfield, shifted out to clear 350M, ran on fairly and inclined to hang in throughout the straight. |
7 | 10 | GENERAL DANROAD (CL020) | P Strydom | -- | Settled towards the rear after beginning slowly, kept to inside throughout, made some progress from off the pace but not getting to the leaders. |
8 | 7 | LUCKY CHEVALIER (M113) | J Lloyd | SR | Chased the lead, kept on to 150M then weakened. |
9 | 1 | JOHNSON (CJ305) | D Beadman | B | Sped off and crossed to the lead just before the turn, faltered inside 200M, no extra late stages. |
10 | 9 | EXCELLENT WIN (CL234) | M Du Plessis | H | On the outside of the pair chasing the pace, had to be driven along inside 600M, weakened on straightening and soon out of contention. |
11 | 6 | BUDDY BUDDIES (M021) | B Prebble | H | Along the fence in midfield, angled out passing 600M for a clear path, found disappointingly little under pressure. (Jockey questioned.) |
12 | 2 | MAN OF THE MATCH (M153) | D Whyte | CP1 | Settled behind mid-division but didn't pick up when asked inside 400M. No impression. |
13 | 12 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | W M Lai | B | Caught 3-wide in midfield and didn't respond to riding on straightening, never likely. |
14 | 8 | SUPER THUNDER (M078) | C W Wong | TT1 | Raced along the 2-path 6Ls back in midpack, held up early straight but found nothing when clear running presented, well beaten. |
