Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | WRATH OF FIRE (CL420) | Z Purton | -- | Assumed usual role at rear soon after start, best part of 8ls back, plenty to do turning, wound up strongly final 300m to finish over top of rivals final furlong. |
2 | 10 | XILAI XIANZI (N088) | M Chadwick | TT | Even break, positioned just off midfield, 5-6Ls back in running line, made progress between horses t4urning, closed well final 200m to miss by a narrow margin. |
3 | 13 | SOUNDS EXCELLENT (CK259) | W M Lai | V | Settled in rear division 3 wide with cover, 7Ls or so off lead, swung wider turning, made good ground in straight to take 3rd. |
4 | 14 | NICHOLSON (M173) | T Clark | SR-/B2 | Pressed forward to take up spot near lead, assumed a 1 out 1 back role, all favours to bend, took over at 300m but couldn't hold off placegetters inside final furlong. |
5 | 5 | NOBLE DELUXE (M063) | T H So | -- | Took a prominent spot on leaders back, all chance in mid-section, took inside runs and looked a place chance when challenging at 300m, peaked inside final furlong. |
6 | 6 | PERCY JACKSON (N188) | D Whyte | H- | Unable to get closer than 3 wide in midfield, 5Ls or so back with cover, angled wider rounding bend, made steady headway to be nearest on line. |
7 | 11 | TRAVEL BRAND (N112) | C W Wong | B | Pressed on when a little wide to sit outside leader, not far away thereafter, levelled up on turning, kept to task but dropped off final 200m. |
8 | 8 | EAGLE SPIRIT (CL326) | M Du Plessis | CP/XB | Even break, raced 3-4Ls back in 2 wide line, had fair run throughout, stayed on to 200m before run ended. |
9 | 2 | JAMESINA (CH290) | M Zahra | B/TT | Taken back to rear from a tricky alley, 8Ls or so away at rear, set task with field to beat turning, passed a few tired ones late. |
10 | 9 | MEDALLIST (N024) | B Prebble | -- | Posted 3 wide from widest alley, 3Ls off leaders doing it tough without cover, close enough turning but run ended at 300m and dropped off. |
11 | 1 | I SMELL MONEY (M019) | W Pike | -- | Pressed forward to take up running, allowed to set terms to suit in middle stages, headed turning and had no extra gear, battled away dropping off final 200m. |
12 | 4 | LOVING STAR (M382) | O Doleuze | CP-/B1 | Began awkwardly and missed start, mustered to be 3-4Ls back on rails, but keen in mid section, folded when asked for effort in straight. (See Racing Incidents.) |
13 | 12 | THE ONLY KID (CH173) | C K Tong | TT | Ended up near rear 7Ls or so away on rails, quiet trip to bend, lacked usual finish and was beaten a long way at finish. |
14 | 7 | PRIDE AND HONOUR (N320) | T Angland | -- | No early pace and cast 3 and 4 wide without cover behind midfield, always working to bend, dropped right out after hard run. |
