Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | BEAUTY WAVES (H294) | Z Purton | TT | Soon led, set good pace to straight before quickening up impressively from 250M, opened up a big lead and maintained the advantage to the line. (New Track record.) |
2 | 8 | TOMODACHI KOKOROE (H303) | H Bentley | BO1/TT | Chased leader on outside in a race run at good tempo, couldn't keep up with leader from 250M but fought on steadily to hold 2nd. |
3 | 6 | AURORA LADY (J066) | A Atzeni | CP/TT | From wide draw obtained a midfield position along the 3-path, ran on mildly over final 300M for 3rd. Not reach winner. |
4 | 5 | KAHOLO ANGEL (H216) | E C W Wong | TT | Jumped on terms, guided to a rail spot in second half of the field, briefly held up for clear running approaching top of straight, ran on evenly to take 4th without troubling winner. |
5 | 1 | MAGIC CONTROL (J333) | K H Chan | CP1/TT | Jumped well from draw 2, chased leader on inside, raced keenly in the middle stages, battled hard early straight and held 3rd to 200M, faded late stages. |
6 | 11 | AERIS NOVA (J534) | M Chadwick | B/XB/TT | Jumped only fairly from draw 1, settled down in midfield about 3Ls off pace, kept on one paced in the straight. Never a serious threat. |
7 | 2 | RAGING BLIZZARD (H368) | H Bowman | P | Jumped only fairly, settled back in the field about 6Ls off the good pace, waited with until a gap opened up at 300M, made some progress without threatening. (Jockey - not too disappointed with the performance.) |
8 | 9 | BRAVE STAR (G268) | K De Melo | XB | Bumped at the start, dropped back to a 3-wide spot towards the rear, brought widest home, responded only fairly to the line. |
9 | 4 | MAJESTIC KNIGHT (G258) | L Ferraris | B | Jumped well and ended up more forward than intended, raced wide no cover chasing leaders throughout, 4th top of straight, couldn't sustain run 200M and weakened. |
10 | 12 | STORM RIDER (J027) | K Teetan | B | Travelled in a 2-wide spot behind midfield, ran on fairly final 300M. Never likely. |
11 | 10 | SELF IMPROVEMENT (H337) | Y L Chung | TT | Away awkwardly and lost ground, settled back in the field, last turning home, failed to run on under pressure. |
12 | 7 | FULL CREDIT (J185) | M F Poon | TT | In the group chasing leaders, raced keenly early stages, came under pressure nearing 400M, soon weakened out of contention. (Jockey - made respiratory noise during race / Roarer.) |
