1 | 5 | THE AZURE (J227) | Z Purton | -- | Bumped at the start, from draw 2 settled down in midfield 6Ls back, driven wide into straight, finished off well to just get up in a 3-way photo. |
2 | 8 | DRAGON STAR (H128) | K Teetan | B/XB | Went forward chasing leader, took over the lead inside 200M, fought hard late when challenged by pursuing rivals, just denied in a close finish. |
3 | 12 | ATOMIC BEAUTY (H066) | A Atzeni | V/TT | Always in touch behind leaders, closed off nicely from 300M, challenged the winner late stages, just lost out in a 3-way photo. |
4 | 9 | JUMBO FORTUNE (G195) | A Hamelin | B/TT2 | From wide draw obtained a position just ahead of midfield, in similar spot rounding the home turn, kept on steadily over final 300M but not gaining ground on first three. |
5 | 3 | TURIN WARRIOR (G150) | H Bowman | XB | Had a ground saving trip in a position ahead of midfield, lay out after 250M, kept on evenly to the line under 135lb but not able to challenge first three. |
6 | 1 | SIMPLE HEDGE (H237) | A Badel | H | Jumped only fairly, held up in mid-division 7Ls away, driven along 500M but never going the pace to challenge leaders. |
7 | 4 | SATIRICAL FAN (J214) | J Orman | TT | Led from 1600M setting good pace early and middle stages, all out from 300M, lost lead inside 200M and weakened rapidly late. (Jockey : his mount raced keenly in the lead.) |
8 | 2 | TOP TIME (K006) | K De Melo | -- | Settled down behind midfield, had 7Ls to make up 400M but only finished off fairly. Never dangerous. (Jockey : with the pace inside standard time his horse didn't travel well.) |
9 | 10 | GALLANT CROWN (D359) | E C W Wong | P-/B2/TT | Sent forward tracking leaders in a race run at good pace, close enough top of straight but couldn't quicken under pressure, soon lost touch with leaders. |
10 | 11 | CONFRINGO (J322) | M L Yeung | V-/TT | Taken back from wide draw, towards the rear 9-10Ls back, failed to finish off turning for home. Never in the picture. |
11 | 6 | RADIANT SWIFT (J425) | H T Mo | B1 | Began only fairly, ended up in detached last over 12Ls off leader, failed to make any progress on straightening. |
12 | 7 | IRON FIGHTER (J497) | K C Leung | B/TT | Jumped only fairly, held up near last over 10Ls off the pace, struggled to keep up home turn, weakened badly final 300M. (No Vet findings.) |
