Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 13 | SUPREME FALCON (P224) | J Moreira | CP | Broke sharply, always prominent behind leader, strode to lead nearing 300M, kept on well and always had enough to hold off the late challenge of 2nd. |
2 | 7 | UNIVERSAL UNION (S263) | Z Purton | -- | Eased back to a midfield position, 3-4Ls back along the fence, got going inside 300M, raced greenly when placed under pressure but still made good progress to get within 0.5L of winner. |
3 | 2 | CALLING WITH LOVE (N288) | B Prebble | B/H | Held up towards the rear, stayed on moderately to go 3rd near line but posed no danger to first two. |
4 | 6 | SEASONS STAR (P058) | M Chadwick | CP-/B1/TT | Broke well, soon led, set even pace, headed by eventual winner 300M, one paced final 200M and lost 3rd near line. |
5 | 12 | ALL GREAT FRIENDS (S279) | H W Lai | -- | Settled in mid-division, brought wide 500M, made good initial progress entering straight, one paced final 200M. |
6 | 3 | LITTLE DRAGON (S264) | A Suborics | B1 | Pushed along early but failed to muster, dropped back to a rearward spot approaching home turn, made limited progress over final 300M. |
7 | 11 | FASHION MAESTRO (S297) | M L Yeung | B | Began only fairly, caught very wide without cover making the turn, not pace of leaders entering straight, weakened late stages. |
8 | 9 | IMPERIAL FIGHTER (S348) | K Teetan | -- | Never far off from leaders but failed to respond entering straight, kept on same pace. (Blood in trachea) |
9 | 10 | G-ONE LEADER (P383) | T H So | -- | In touch, gave little response turning home, faded mid-straight. |
10 | 8 | EN CIVIL (S327) | O Doleuze | H/XB | Restrained on jumping from a wide barrier, settled near last, was urged along nearing 500M but failed to respond, never a factor. |
11 | 4 | PEARL WIN (P085) | C Y Ho | SR | Settled in the group chasing leaders, 3-wide no cover turning for home, found disappointingly little when asked, never a threat to leaders. |
12 | 1 | SPARKLING B (P100) | C Reith | V/XB/TT | Dropped back to last 7Ls off the pace, not picked up and never involved. |
