Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | VOILE ROUGE (M343) | D Whyte | B/TT | Broke well, took up ideal position behind leader, shifted 1 off on circle, joined in approaching 300m and went clear, held a margin to score with some ease. |
2 | 10 | GROOVY (CL401) | Y T Cheng | -- | Slotted into nice spot 1 out 1 back 2Ls off speed, fair run although pushed 3 wide from 500m, went with eventual winner but was safely held final 200m. |
3 | 2 | BUBBLE CHIC (N369) | W C Marwing | -- | Taken back from a tricky gate, 8-9Ls back in running line, didn't settle but steadily crept closer on bend, made up good ground in straight doing best work late to take a placing. |
4 | 8 | KEEN WONGCHOY (CL223) | A Suborics | B/H/TT | Taken down to rear from a wide all, raced nearly 10Ls back on rails and was difficult to settle, took inside run turning, closed off ok along inside to make frame. |
5 | 9 | FLEET COMMAND (CK077) | M Chadwick | B | Went forward and ended up outside leader in unfamiliar role, raced keenly applying pressure to leader, headed passing 300m but stuck on ok and just lost spot in frame late. |
6 | 1 | MAJESTIC FALCON (M236) | O Doleuze | H | Landed a midfield role on rails, 5Ls back, not exerted in middle stages, made run between runners and made some progress in straight to be nearest on line. |
7 | 7 | KYARA (CL423) | W M Lai | H/XB | Ended up 3 wide without cover just off midfield, 7Ls or so away in run, improved approaching bend, made some progress in straight despite hard run, never really looked likely. |
8 | 6 | PRESIDENT LINCOLN (N267) | Z Purton | TT | Took a spot not far off pace, 4-5Ls back in running line, no excuses to bend, switched out to make a run but no extra last 300m and just kept on at same speed. |
9 | 14 | BRIGHT STAR (N387) | C K Tong | -- | Slow away, drove up into midfield spot 5-6Ls away in two wide line, fair run in midsection, nothing extra at business end producing a one paced finish. |
10 | 5 | MR BOND (M098) | T H So | -- | Taken back from a wide gate, raced at rear 10Ls or so back, set task with plenty to pass turning, made some minor ground late. |
11 | 12 | GOLD BALL (N185) | H W Lai | TT | Showed good speed to take up running, set an even tempo with pressure from outside horse, lost advantage at 400m, compounded tamely. |
12 | 3 | NOBLE ALPHA (M339) | B Prebble | -- | Ended up 3 wide behind midfield around 8Ls or so back, checked at 1200m, still gave a big start turning, disappointing effort in straight making no real progress. |
13 | 13 | IMPERIAL ROME (N012) | R Fourie | TT | Allowed to drop back from a wide gate, drove through on rails to be 7Ls or so back just behind midfield, cheap trip to bend, offered little in straight. |
14 | 11 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | K C Leung | H/CP | Ended up 3-4Ls back on rails, fair run to turn but soon struggling, dropped out easily and beaten a long way. |
