Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | SACRED KINGDOM (CG268) | G Mosse | TT | Broke well, sat 1 to 2Ls off them towards stand side. Shared lead at midpoint, took over at 300 M, had them beaten by 100 M and eased down to score a comfortable win. |
2 | 13 | FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) | G Boss | -- | Even jump, ended up in midfield 3Ls back towards middle, progressed between horses at 300 M, closed off nicely but not in same league as winner. |
3 | 4 | PLANET RULER (CB359) | O Doleuze | B | Raced amongst pack 3 to 4Ls back close to outsider rail, urged along at midpoint, did best work late finishing well for nice 3rd. |
4 | 5 | NATURAL BLITZ (CE227) | F Coetzee | TT | Showed customary pace to share lead, kept solid pace on throughout, tackled at 300 M, couldn't dash again but kept on evenly to make frame. |
5 | 8 | ROYAL DELIGHT (CG192) | Z Purton | B1/TT- | Away nicely, raced 1 to 2Ls off leader in centre of course without cover, didn't have enough dash to go with them at 200 M but stuck to task well nevertheless. |
6 | 1 | SCINTILLATION (CC228) | E Saint-Martin | XB/H | Began well, raced 2Ls back alongside eventual winner, into clear at 300 M but lacked usual turn of foot and just held ground over concluding stages. |
7 | 3 | ABLE PRINCE (CC348) | M Nunes | B/TT | Away fairly, raced solo along inside rail, not far away throughout, couldn't match outside horses late and never really threatened on what was the slower side of the track. |
8 | 14 | SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) | Y T Cheng | CP | Began with promise, raced 1 to 2Ls back on outside rail, close enough at midpoint, didn't go on with it at business end and just kept same speed in finish. |
9 | 12 | COUNTRY MUSIC (CD035) | K L Chui | XB/TT | Out nicely, raced 1L back closer to outside rail, niggled at midpoint, kept on evenly before checked at 200 M, not a factor thereafter. |
10 | 10 | EXPECTATIONS (CD078) | H W Lai | -- | Poor break, settled at rear on outside, urged along 6Ls back at midpoint, passed only beaten runners late. |
11 | 2 | SUNNY SING (CE135) | D Beadman | TT | Moderate jump, raced towards rear 5Ls off pace, in behind horses to 250 M, closed without purpose when clear last furlong. |
12 | 11 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | W M Lai | -- | No pace from outset, always struggling 7Ls back in last place, never got into it and finished back with tailenders. |
13 | 9 | ADAIKALI (CE181) | A Delpech | CP | First to hit ground, shared lead on outside rail, began to struggle at midpoint, lacked usual finish and weakened badly last 300 M. |
14 | 7 | FLAMING LAMBORGINI (CE146) | S K Sit | TT | Not best away, soon at rear, struggled to keep up, found nothing under pressure and weakened out late. |
