Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | FLAGSHIP SHINE (P104) | D Whyte | CP | Began well, led briefly before taking a trail on leaders back, all favours thereafter, gained split at 200m and dashed through, held rivals late with some in hand. |
2 | 5 | MR MEDICI (CK218) | G Mosse | -- | Away with them, raced in 5th on rails 3ls back, every chance to bend, stuck on well in straight prevailing in a 3 way finish for 2nd. |
3 | 3 | BLAZING SPEED (P192) | M L Yeung | TT | Pressed forward as usual to sit outside leader, had a fair run throughout, leveled up soon after turning and in mix for most of straight, narrowly touched off for 2nd. |
4 | 10 | SLICK BULLET (N141) | C Y Ho | P/XB | Moderate break, raced behind midfield 5-6ls back, angled out turning but didn't get a clear crack until 300m, closed hard final furlong to make frame. |
5 | 14 | RACING HERO (N157) | T Berry | B | Took ideal spot 1 out 1 back, enjoyed nice run throughout, produced soon after turning and briefly led to 200m, tired last bit and missed frame. |
6 | 12 | CHAMPAGNE DAYS (CL024) | K C Ng | TT2 | Taken back from a wide alley, raced at rear5 on rails nearly 10ls back, closed off well between horses in straight making plenty of ground to be nearest at finish. |
7 | 1 | SILVER GRECIAN (CL323) | O Doleuze | TT | Restrained from widest alley raced at rear 10ls back, 3 wide with cover in middle stages, too much to do turning but closed off well in straight making many lengths to be on heels of place getters. |
8 | 4 | PERFECT CHEERS (M341) | Z Purton | B/TT | Went forward but raced a little keenly and ended up leading, set even tempo throughout, kept to 250m when headed, no extra final furlong. |
9 | 8 | NICE FOLKS (CL421) | A Suborics | B-/P2 | Raced behind midfield 7-8ls back on rails, quiet time throughout, same margin back turning, closed off fairly without looking a chance. |
10 | 11 | TURBO JEWELLERY (N379) | T H So | TT | Positioned in 2 wide line 7-8ls back, reasonable trip throughout, urged to pick up turning, no extra gear in straight and just plugged to line. |
11 | 9 | WHY NOT (N053) | Y T Cheng | TT | Taken back from a tricky gate, raced further back than usual 3 wide at rear 8ls away, had cover in mid-section, never really got into it from there and battled away in straight. |
12 | 6 | WEALTHY FORTUNE (P324) | W M Lai | -- | Awkwardly away, shared rear nearly 10ls back on rails, difficult to settle in mid-section, still at rear with plenty to do turning, made no impression. |
13 | 7 | CRACKERJACK (N446) | K C Leung | SR/TT | Raced just in front of midfield, 4ls back in running line, fair run but struggling turning, folded cheaply in straight. |
