Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | BEAUTY INFINITY (H377) | B Avdulla | -- | Bumped at the start, travelled handily behind leaders, well placed to strike top of straight, quickened up nicely to take lead near 100M, kept on final stages to score. |
2 | 4 | LUCKY EIGHT (G204) | C L Chau | -- | Obtained a midfield position 2-wide, travelled well into contention, finished off well to take 2nd near line. |
3 | 1 | SPORTS LEGEND (H456) | H T Mo | B/TT | Vied for the lead early stages, tracked leader on settling, moved up to press the pace again 400M, led 250M until headed near 100M, lost 2nd near line. |
4 | 10 | YOUNG ARROW (J401) | H Bentley | XB-/CP | Jumped awkwardly, restrained to race near last, driven wide into straight then closed off fairly well to claim 4th. |
5 | 6 | SOLID CAR (K058) | K Teetan | -- | Taken back from wide draw, settled near last 5Ls away, plenty to do top of straight, ran home well but could not be ridden out closing stages when racing in restricted room. |
6 | 3 | CHATEAUNEUF (J219) | H Bowman | B/TT | Chased leaders on inside, raced in restricted room from 300M, steadied 100M and not ridden out over concluding stages. |
7 | 11 | POSITIVE SMILE (J467) | M L Yeung | -- | Unhurried after the jump, near last early stages before improving to a position behind midfield, kept on fairly throughout final 300M. Posed little threat to leaders. |
8 | 8 | EVERSTAR (K264) | M F Poon | CP1/TT- | From draw 1 maintained a midfield position along the fence, fought on same pace turning home, never a serious threat to leaders. |
9 | 9 | WRITTEN CASA (J305) | A Atzeni | B/TT | Dropped back after the jump and eventually settled in last, 8Ls to make up 400M, ran past a couple of beaten rivals only. (Jockey: instructed to ride his mount in a conservative manner in the early stages.) |
10 | 7 | MULTIDUTCH (K171) | Y L Chung | B/TT | Jumped only fairly, settled down behind midfield, little change in position to the straight, didn't find much when asked, disappointed for clear running 200M but already out of contention. |
11 | 2 | CALIFORNIA TOUCH (J051) | M Chadwick | TT | Vied for early lead before emerging as leader 700M, under siege 300M, soon gave ground and weakened to last. (Trainer: not suited by a rival being positioned to its outside throughout the early and middle stages.) |
