Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | MEDIC FORTUNE (CK057) | M Chadwick | TT | Given all the favours settling 3 back the rail. Grabbed the lead at the 100m and battled on to claim the prize. |
2 | 8 | MEGA CASTLE (CL333) | O Doleuze | B | Sent forward and enjoyed an uncontested lead for much of the journey. Still had a decent break on straightening and maintained a good gallop down the running. |
3 | 12 | KUNG HEI FAT CHOI (CL157) | G Cheyne | XB | Had every possible chance slotting in to travel 1 out 1 back after drawing wide. Worked to the line soundly. |
4 | 5 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | W M Lai | -- | Settled leaders back along the paint. Gave way over the last 100m, held on to make the frame. |
5 | 6 | MASTER DRAGON (CL137) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Parked midfield, 1 off with cover. Turned for home about 3-4 deep and stayed on one paced in the run to the wire. |
6 | 10 | KING GALILEO (CL028) | T Clark | -- | Settled with the backmakers along the fence. Went for runs in the straight towards the inside and made only moderate ground. |
7 | 4 | HEALTHY CONTENDER (CJ342) | D Whyte | H | Eventually settled 4 back the fence. Railed up turning for home but failed to find any when placed under pressure soon after the 350m. |
8 | 11 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Travelled at the tail of the field, 1-2 wide with cover. Kept to the inside in the home straight but only plugged away. |
9 | 2 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Settled back in the field, 3 deep with cover. Made a forward move near the 800m but was posted 3 wide without cover thereafter and was well beaten passing the furlong. |
10 | 9 | SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) | D Beadman | B | Remained 1 off the fence, close to midfield with cover, despite being hard ridden in the early stages to be a touch closer. Failed to find any extra in the home straight. |
11 | 3 | VANQUISH DELIGHT (CJ257) | G Mosse | -- | Coursed 3 wide without cover, behind midfield in the early & middle stages before improving and racing outside the leader after the 900m. Was running on empty over the final stages. |
12 | 1 | DRAGON CHOICE (CL338) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Slow to begin settling worse than midfield 3 wide with cover for most of the trip. Struggled in the final stretch. |
