Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | LIFELINE RAPIDE (CD204) | K T Yeung | TT | Went forward from barrier rise but was posted 3 deep without cover behind the speed. Made gradual progress in straight and got the verdict right on the line for a grinding win. |
2 | 2 | CHEEKY LAD (CG198) | R Fradd | V | Travelled 3 back on the fence before shifting out to race 1 out 1 back after the 800 M. Worked to the lead passing the furlong and looked the likely winner until being collared in the shadows of the post. |
3 | 4 | TOWKAY FLYER (CJ036) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Parked outside the leader at its girth. Didn't find any extra when pressured over the final 150 M. |
4 | 10 | TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) | M Du Plessis | -- | Parked midfield the fence. Worked home soundly without threatening. |
5 | 12 | NEW ASIA FORWARD (CH309) | M Nunes | H | Raced just in front of midfield, 1 off with cover. Closed off well. |
6 | 8 | HEIMORI (CJ130) | G Boss | SR1 | Was allowed to drift back early in the race and settle near the rear of the field, 3 deep with cover. When under pressure in the straight raced greenly whilst making satisfactory ground. |
7 | 13 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | F Coetzee | -- | Positioned close to midfield but was always 3 to 4-wide, gained some cover after the 700 M. Failed to quicken in the straight. |
8 | 14 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | H W Lai | CP-/V2 | Faded passing the 200 M after leading. |
9 | 11 | EMBRACES (CH175) | W M Lai | B | Raced with the back markers, 2-wide with cover. Battled away in the run home. |
10 | 3 | MY PRIDE (CG017) | P H Lo | V | Camped behind the leader along the fence. Had every chance. |
11 | 6 | ENCORE (CH252) | D Whyte | -- | Travelled midfield, 2 to 3-wide with cover. Failed to improve and battled to the line. |
12 | 7 | HAPPY TOUCH (CJ008) | Y T Cheng | TT | Positioned at the rear, 2 deep with cover. Shifted to the outside of the field after the 300 M, but didn't respond to pressure. |
13 | 9 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | M W Leung | -- | Raced in last position on the fence. Never likely. |
14 | 5 | ALL FOR ONE (CH180) | C W Wong | -- | Travelled wide for most of the trip near the tail of the field 3 to 4-wide, no cover. Was carried widest turning for home and struggled in the straight. |
