Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) | D Whyte | B | Jumped fairly, restrained to settle in midfield 2-wide 4 to 5Ls back, had quiet time in middle stages, switched out in straight, closed steadily to fight out finish and managed to outrun the 2nd over concluding stages. |
2 | 7 | REDHILL COMMANDER (CH078) | Z Purton | TT | Away well from inside draw, soon taken to a midfield spot along rails 4 to 5Ls off the pace, eased out on turning, into clear 400 M, hit front inside 200 M, battled on but was just overhauled in the dying strides. |
3 | 11 | ELEPHANT STAR (CH323) | W M Lai | B | Began with them, allowed to relax in a midfield role 3 to 4Ls behind leaders, had reasonable trip coming into straight, ran on steadily to take 3rd without threats to the first two. |
4 | 4 | JADE CHINA (CG113) | B Doyle | B/H | Ordinary break, settled patiently along the fence behind midfield, 7Ls to make up on leader on straightening, quickened reasonably well to finish closest on line. |
5 | 1 | BATURO (CH029) | K C Leung | -- | Away in line, pressed on to race on the outside of leader under a moderate tempo, took over the lead on straightening, led until 200 M out, weakened thereafter. |
6 | 12 | SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) | C W Wong | TT | Began nicely, pressed forward to race behind leaders, niggling along on the turn, didn't really quicken in the straight and produced only a one-paced finish. |
7 | 2 | MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) | H W Lai | XB/TT | Reasonable jump, restrained to settle in rear division with cover, about 8 to 9Ls back in turning, shifted in on straightening for a clear passage, made some headway from a position too far back. |
8 | 5 | SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) | B Prebble | -- | Broke well, drifted back to hold a midfield spot 5 to 6Ls back, came 3-wide on the bend without cover, peeled out to challenge but unable to find extra gear, kept one-paced to finish. |
9 | 6 | AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) | K T Yeung | B | Tardy to begin, allowed to stride on to a forward position behind leaders, had a fair run with moderate tempo, showed little in straight and was soundly beaten. |
10 | 10 | DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) | G Mosse | TT | Ordinary jump, taken back to a rearward position about 8Ls off the pace, well back on straightening, kept to inside and made only limited progress. |
11 | 14 | SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) | M L Yeung | CP2 | Broke with rest, parked in a slot worse than midfield and 3 wide, swung wide in straight into middle of track, unable to pick up and just plugged away to line. |
12 | 3 | FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) | O Doleuze | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
13 | 9 | DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Slow to begin, ridden up to hold spot in mid-division, lost position near 700 M, recovered soon but had to come wide for a run in straight, did not close the race off, dropped away 100 M out. |
14 | 13 | WONDER KID (CH233) | W C Marwing | SR-/CP1/H1/TT | Standard break, hard pressed to take up running on fence setting a moderate tempo, challenged for lead on turning, soon under pressure on straightening, faded out from 350 M before dropping out completely inside 200 M. |
