Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 11 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | W Pike | V/TT | Within striking distance behind leading trio, progressed steadily 400M out and continued willingly to wear down the leader in closing stages. |
2 | 12 | LU YUE (CH278) | C W Wong | B | Stalked the leader one out one back, driven approaching the straight and gained the lead inside 300M, stayed on but could not match strides with the winner in final stages. |
3 | 10 | KING DANCER (CK129) | J Victoire | SR | Slow to begin, ended up in 2nd last over 10Ls away, fanned 3-wide into the home straight then made promising headway down the outside to claim 3rd close home. |
4 | 7 | BEAUTY FOREVER (CK074) | Z Purton | TT | Placed 2-wide behind midfield and used little to straight, responded well inside 400M to finish 4th never nearer. |
5 | 6 | FAT CHOY ICHIBAN (CJ063) | B Prebble | TT | Held up in 7th 8-9Ls away, crept closer over the home turn, finished evenly but found less than expected inside final 100M. (Jockey questioned regarding his riding in closing stages.) |
6 | 1 | BEST FRIEND (CH240) | O Doleuze | B2 | In midfield settled in 6th throughout, ran on final 350M but not pace to seriously challenge. |
7 | 8 | BROM BROM (CJ338) | D Whyte | -- | Tracked leaders along the inside, made good headway passing 400M and briefly threatened, unable to sustain run 200M and weakened towards the line. |
8 | 5 | AMBITIOUS GENERAL (CJ066) | K C Leung | -- | Towards the rear over 10Ls off the pace, held up briefly in early part of straight but ran on only fairly once into clear. |
9 | 9 | VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) | J Winks | H | Led to 1500M then settled just off the pace, advanced 3-wide passing 600M, briefly led in straight before giving way from over 250M out. (Jockey and Trainer questioned) |
10 | 4 | FEARLESS (CH301) | J Lloyd | B | Taken back to last, not hurried throughout and was 10Ls behind passing 400M, rallied mildly from off the pace and couldn't reach the leaders. |
11 | 3 | BULLISH CASH (CH049) | K L Chui | TT | Never better than midfield and travelled over 10Ls off the pace, niggled along inside 500M but lacked any response. Never a factor. |
12 | 2 | REALLY HAPPY (CJ165) | M Chadwick | TT | Up with the early pace but became unsettled once in the lead, set a strong tempo at the front end but found nothing left turning for home. (Jockey advised to make more effort to have his mount settle.) |
