Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | ZAIDAN (M234) | D Beadman | -- | Slotted in to box seat 1 out 1 back, 4-5Ls off leader, suited by speed, came wider turning and showed class to dig deep wearing down margin for narrow victory. |
2 | 7 | FAMILISTS (M102) | B Prebble | H | Well enough away, camped off speed, 4Ls away on rails, lovely run to bend, joined in strongly at 300 M and just lost out late in battle with a promising horse. |
3 | 4 | PAGANINI'S SOUL (CL373) | D Whyte | XB | Good early speed, in front but unable to lead, took sit and camped in 2nd to turn, challenged at 300m, couldn’t match first two late. |
4 | 5 | PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) | M Chadwick | TT | Rolled forward as expected to drive through and lead, rolled along at good sections, 2-3Ls clear on bend, came back to them at 200m but stayed on ok to make frame. |
5 | 10 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Settled 3 wide with cover, 7Ls or so down behind midfield, same margin down to bend, closed creditably down centre to be closest at finish. |
6 | 14 | TAVERNER (CK227) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Ok away, went forward to race first without cover, 2 wide 3-4Ls back, made ground too 400m and was a brief place chance but didn’t go on late. |
7 | 13 | GRAND DANCER (CK268) | M L Yeung | B | Taken down to rails from an awkward alley, 8Ls away on rails, job to do turning, made steady progress without properly threatening. |
8 | 1 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | B Doyle | P/H | Taken back from a wide alley, raced nearly 10Ls back 2 wide at rear, made some progress in straight but run ended inside 200m. |
9 | 2 | LONDON CHINA TOWN (CL236) | K C Leung | CO- | Restrained to slot in just off midfield, 7Ls back in running line , improved on bend, steady progress to 200m but flattened out thereafter. |
10 | 11 | ELEGANCE KLAMMER (M228) | J Lloyd | H | Out in line, lodged 3 wide without cover in midfield, keen in mid section, ridden along turning and gave ground. |
11 | 8 | MOONWALK (CL083) | G Cheyne | H | No early speed, positioned in midfield 6Ls back on rails, all favours in run, poor in straight showing no finish. |
12 | 3 | FLYING SUPREME (CK226) | W C Marwing | B | Ordinary jump, settled at rear on rails nearly 10Ls back, same margin back to bend, made no improvement in straight. |
13 | 12 | FLYING IN (CK120) | C K Tong | B | Faded back to race 3 and 4 wide at rear, 10ls off front, saddle shifted on bend, made no progress in any case. |
