Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | VAUGIRARD (CK347) | B Prebble | B | Took keen hold behind leading pair, responded well to pressure and surged to the front nearing 250M, all out final 200M and held on despite drifting out badly in closing stages. |
2 | 1 | IRIAN (CL187) | K C Leung | H/TT | Held up in midfield along the rail and travelled strongly, had trouble finding a clear path from 450M to 250M, ran on well when clear and only narrowly failed. |
3 | 6 | BLUE SKY (CJ289) | C Y Ho | H | In touch, responded well under pressure in straight but was twice hampered by the winner which shifted out badly inside 200M, could have been closer. |
4 | 3 | KING DANCER (CK129) | O Doleuze | SR-/CP2 | Held up behind midfield, switched out to chase leaders 400 M out, kept on steadily to line but couldn't close the gap with leaders. |
5 | 2 | JACKPOT DELIGHT (CJ101) | Z Purton | TT | Dropped back to second last and a long way off the pace in first half of the race, took a while to pick up in straight, did best work late but never threatened the principals. |
6 | 11 | SAPELLI (CK191) | W Pike | -- | Behind mid-division and raced 3-wide without cover, 6Ls down approaching 400M, stayed on without reaching leaders. |
7 | 13 | BULLISH CASH (CH049) | M Chadwick | TT | Not far off in the group chasing leaders, couldn't step up a gear when the race got serious, faded final 100M. |
8 | 7 | MIGHTY HIGH (CL096) | J Lloyd | XB/H/TT | Raced keenly in the lead, pressed by a rival and set a good pace upfront, run peaked at 200M, weakened noticeably close home. |
9 | 9 | RIDE WITH THE WIND (CL183) | D Whyte | B/TT | Never better than midfield, found less than expected when placed under pressure 400M, one paced. |
10 | 5 | JAMESINA (CH290) | W C Marwing | CP/TT | Switched off to the back, 10Ls off the good pace halfway, nudged along inside 600M but could only make very limited progress. |
11 | 12 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | H W Lai | V/TT | Sat outside leader in a strongly run race, raced keenly and moved to the lead from 600M, headed nearing 300M then gave ground rapidly. (Jockey advised not to set his mounts too great a task.) |
12 | 4 | FAT CHOY ICHIBAN (CJ063) | Y T Cheng | TT | Towards the rear, became detached nearing 600M, eased final 200M. (Lame left front leg.) |
