Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 14 | WIN SPEED (J205) | M Chadwick | B | Bumped shortly after the start, moved up to race handily behind leaders, poised to strike top of straight then lengthened nicely to lead 250M, soon in control winning it handsomely. |
2 | 7 | LEGEND ST PAUL'S (J507) | K C Leung | -- | Urged along to be 4th chasing leaders, 4th on settling, driven 400M to chase eventual winner but couldn't get closer final 200M. |
3 | 5 | CORLEONE (J426) | H Bowman | -- | From draw 1 maintained a midfield spot along the inside, little change in position to the straight then ran on mildly to fill a minor placing. No threat to first two. |
4 | 4 | AMAZING RUN (H401) | L Hewitson | -- | Switched off to the rear on jumping from draw 11, plenty to do top of straight, closed off fastest final 400M, got up for non-threatening 4th close home. |
5 | 12 | AFFIRM (H306) | H Bentley | CP-/V1/TT | From draw 14 strode to the lead as expected, kept going top of straight, caught by winner near 250M, faded towards the line. |
6 | 9 | CALIFORNIA MOXIE (J131) | B Avdulla | CP-/B1/TT | Slow to begin, taken across to the fence and settled in a rearward position, made non-threatening progress passing 400M, raced in restricted room late stages and not able to be fully tested. |
7 | 8 | LUCKY TOUCH (J203) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Away with them, raced towards the rear 7Ls off the pace, held up 400M to 200M before making some late progress. Could do better. |
8 | 3 | DREAM PURSUER (G241) | L Ferraris | B | Jumped only fairly, gradually improved to a position behind midfield, ran home fairly final 400M. |
9 | 6 | FORERUNNER (G465) | Z Purton | TT | Dropped back to near the rear, wide into straight, gave short-lived effort early straight then failed to run on final 200M. (Trainer could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance.) |
10 | 13 | SKYEY BLUE (J212) | Y L Chung | TT | Settled down in midfield, hard pressed 500M to maintain his position, couldn't go on final 300M. |
11 | 1 | ROMAN CROWN (J456) | K Teetan | -- | Jumped on terms, reserved behind mid-division 5-6Ls away, failed to finish off the race under top weight. Never troubled leaders. |
12 | 10 | HARMONY N HOME (C531) | M F Poon | -- | Reserved behind midfield but caught 3-wide without cover for the majority of the race, gave limited response on straightening. Never in the picture. |
13 | 2 | FASHION LEGEND (J080) | A Atzeni | TT2 | Bumped shortly after the start, went forward from draw 13 to press the pace, run ended 250M then dropped out rapidly. |
14 | 11 | FIREFOOT (J183) | C L Chau | TT | Restrained after the start, raced keenly in middle stages, in the rear 9Ls off leader making home turn, couldn't quicken. |
