Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | ATHENIUM (CK197) | M Du Plessis | CP | Held up towards the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, responded well when driven early straight, loomed behind leaders inside 200M, led near 50M. |
2 | 10 | JOLLY FINE (M294) | W M Lai | -- | Placed ahead of mid-division, quickened well and hit lead 150M, battled on under pressure over the final stages, caught late. |
3 | 7 | I SMELL MONEY (M019) | D Whyte | -- | From wide draw slotted into a 3-wide position in midfield, quickened up nicely inside 400M, rallied when strongly challenged from both sides inside 200M, narrowly missed out. |
4 | 4 | OPEN SESAME (CL091) | K C Leung | TT | Taken back to the rear, 8Ls off the pace mid-race, gradually picked up from 400M, strongly pressed final 200M, nearest finish. |
5 | 3 | TAKEANOTHERCHANCE (CL006) | Z Purton | B/TT | Settled 3-wide behind midfield, found clear run from 350M, plugged on but no threat to leaders. |
6 | 2 | FUN HEROES (CL207) | K C Ng | B | Raced keenly after the start, failed to settle and took a reluctant lead, driven 400M, headed mid-straight, weakened. |
7 | 9 | WRATH OF FIRE (CL420) | C K Tong | B/H | Towards the rear, saved ground on the inside, nudged along near 500M, kept on same pace and never got involved in the finish. |
8 | 5 | PUBLIC FIGURE (CK322) | G Cheyne | B | Not able to cross from a wide barrier and raced 3-wide just off the pace, kept on one pace and was never a factor. |
9 | 11 | VICTORY IDE SAY (M056) | J Lloyd | TT | Held up 2-wide behind midfield, put under pressure inside 400M but never going the pace to challenge, eased final 100M. (Jockey said his horse did not stretch out properly in the Straight.) |
10 | 13 | GOOD GAINS (CJ293) | C W Wong | -- | Slow to begin, raced as the back marker for most of the way, fanned very wide into the straight, gave very limited response running past beaten runners only. |
11 | 6 | WEALTH PARK (M300) | Y T Cheng | -- | Tracked leader, ideally placed to strike coming out of bend but didn't pick up, weakened and out of contention nearing 200M. |
12 | 12 | EUPHEMISM (CL413) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Prominent and disputed early lead, not quickened under pressure 400M, weakened rapidly over final 150M. (Mucopus.) |
13 | 8 | SUPREME WINNER (M014) | B Prebble | B | Held up in midfield, dropped out right away on straightening, heavily eased. (Bled.) |
