Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | FIFTY FIFTY (CD131) | P Payne | -- | 3-wide but with cover down backstretch in midfield 5Ls off pace, 4Ls down and 5-wide into home straight, quickened up very well while hanging right to lead 200 M out, driven out. |
2 | 11 | KEEP ON EASY (CC263) | D Whyte | SR-/TT1 | Settled on fence about 3Ls or 4Ls behind leader in midfield through to home straight, good progress on inside to be a neck 2nd at 200 M, winner too strong but still a good effort. |
3 | 10 | LUCKY PORT (CD086) | G Schofield | TT | Ridden from gates, towards rear about 8Ls off the pace down backstretch, 7Ls down and one from rear entering straight, ran on strongly, never nearer. |
4 | 6 | TSZ WAN FORTUNE (CC367) | W M Lai | -- | Keen early on when 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1000 M, led at top of home straight, headed 200 M out, no extra and faded close home. |
5 | 12 | TIRAMISU (CB386) | F Coetzee | V | About 5Ls off pace in midfield and about 2 or 3-wide through to home straight, some progress to be 3Ls off pace in about 6th at the 200 M, didn't follow through. |
6 | 13 | WHATA FEELING (CB267) | G Mosse | -- | Raced about 4Ls behind the speed when 2-wide in about 6th place through to home straight, a little closer turning for home, staying on only fairly when steadied 250 M out, didn't recover. |
7 | 7 | WISHMASTER (CB240) | H K Yim | -- | Had a nice spot on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd until 800 M out, loomed up with every chance 300 M out when close to leading, still there at 200 M but weakened markedly thereafter. |
8 | 5 | EAST OCEAN DRAGON (CB194) | R Fradd | B/TT | Worse than midfield when about 6Ls or 7Ls behind the speed until home straight, never threatened. |
9 | 1 | CHINOOK (CC108) | H W Lai | -- | In rear bunch about 8Ls off pace down back straight, on fence and under pressure on the swing, all out to get within 4Ls of the speed at the 200 M but faded again. |
10 | 8 | PEARL OF INDIA (CD298) | S Dye | -- | Disputed lead early on, mostly caught 3-wide without cover about 2Ls off pace in 4th from 1000 M out, under pressure to lie up at the 600 M, faded steadily from top of home straight. |
11 | 9 | TANAHMERAH (CC051) | A Marcus | V | Slowest away, worse than midfield about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace through to home straight, very one-paced from then on. |
12 | 4 | HELENE ELEGANCE (CB004) | W Woods | H-/B/TT | Pressed on to lead by 1L on fence at 1000 M, always a little bit too keen, headed at top of home straight, faded right out. |
13 | 14 | PORTER RICKS (CB401) | J Holder | B | Never got involved, always in rear, never better than 8Ls off the speed at any point. |
14 | 3 | GOT IT GOOD (CC229) | O Doleuze | -- | Well placed for first half of race 2-wide and about 3Ls behind the speed in about 5th, struggling to keep up entering home straight, faded out rapidly. |
