Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | SUCH A HAPPINESS (A152) | J Moreira | -- | Ridden forward after start and race midfield on rail. Shifted out shortly after straightening when 3L from lead before sprinting well to assume lead inside the final 50m. |
2 | 7 | SIMPLE ELEGANT (B464) | M L Yeung | V | Began well from outside draw, strode forward in the lead before crossing to rail near 1200m. Raced over 1L clear on cornering and kicked strongly in the straight before being caught inside the last 50m. 2.25L clear of third. |
3 | 8 | SMART ROCKET (B322) | C Schofield | CP | Improved after start to settle midfield between runners. Drifted back in middle sections before easing wider passing the 500m, cornering wide, 4.5L from lead. Good headway in the last section without threatening first two. |
4 | 2 | SUNNY POWER (A371) | C Y Ho | B-/V1 | Drifted back after first furlong to race just worse than midfield on the rail. Moved away from the rail approaching the 500m before balancing under 4L from lead. Passed a few in the straight but effectively maintained margin. |
5 | 10 | LITTLE GENERAL (C096) | Z Purton | -- | Shifted across to get good position away from the rail behind leading pair. Shifted 4 wide passing the 500m before peaking on run inside the last 250m. |
6 | 4 | WINNING CONTROLLER (A075) | H N Wong | B | Strode forward to be prominent before racing on leaders back from the 1200m. Couldn't go with leader inside the 400m and yielded 3L inside the final section. |
7 | 11 | ENORMOUS HONOUR (T236) | M F Poon | B- | Had no early speed and was hard ridden to maintain position when racing a clear last after 100m. Came under pressure passing the 500m before passing a few in the straight. Never likely from rearward position. |
8 | 1 | WITNESS HUNTER (B421) | K H Chan | B/SR | Began awkwardly, failed to muster speed and raced rearward. Continued rearward cornering next to last, over 5L from lead. Awkwardly placed near heels at the 300m but failed to make any impression in later stages. |
9 | 12 | NATURAL FLARE (A340) | T H So | B | Hard ridden to improve after start and raced outside leader form the 1200m. Came under heavy pressure passing the 500m and gave ground in the straight. |
10 | 3 | ELECTRIC LIGHTNING (A189) | A Sanna | B/TT | Strode forward after the start but was left racing wide without cover in midfield after the first section. Improved position mid-race to corner 2.5L from lead before giving significant ground in the straight after tough trip. |
11 | 5 | SPIRIT PATCH (C184) | N Callan | B | Steadied after start and shifted across to midfield after the first section. Moved three wide with cover near the 950m before coming under heavy pressure near the 500m. Hung in when giving significant ground in the straight. |
12 | 6 | SUNSHINE WARRIOR (C360) | K Teetan | TT | Lost significant ground at the start & consequently raced rearward early. Forced 4 wide passing the 950m and left without cover thereafter. Improved position in middle stages before tiring out from the corner after tough run. |
