Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | REAL SPECIALIST (M143) | T Angland | -- | Pressed on from a wide gate to race outside leader, suited thereafter with even pace, pushed clear at 300m and kept going under rider to score comfortably. |
2 | 9 | FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) | A Suborics | -- | Assumed a spot in midfield 4Ls away racing 2 wide, enjoyed a nice trail throughout, put into mix at 300m with a strong run, unable to reduce margin on winner final 200m. |
3 | 8 | CALIFORNIA DUDE (N221) | M Chadwick | TT | No early speed, ended up last 10Ls back, at rear and set a big task with field to beat turning, switched widest and produced big closing sectional to take place late. |
4 | 1 | DAN EXCEL (N195) | B Prebble | H/SR/XB | Pressed forward but unable to slot in, raced 3 wide without cover 2Ls off speed, did some work to bend, looked a place chance but lost out late and did receive some interference in final stages. |
5 | 2 | SAME WORLD (N098) | T Clark | H/SR | Ended up 3 wide in midfield 5Ls or so away, enjoyed cover to turn before improving near 400m, looked a place chance until final 100m. |
6 | 11 | VICTOR DELIGHT (M121) | C K Tong | B/TT | Found an ideal spot 1 out 1 back, had no excuses 2-3Ls back to bend, didn't have enough to threaten but stayed on evenly behind heels of placegetters. |
7 | 3 | KING OF SCOTS (CK084) | K C Leung | -- | Even getaway, unable to get closer than 3 wide but had cover 3-4Ls back, fair run with even speed on, came wider turning, just had one speed in straight and held ground to line. |
8 | 14 | FLYING CHAPARRAL (M245) | M L Yeung | SR | Pressed forward to take up running, set reasonable speed in front, tackled soon after turning in, stuck on ok before dropping off at 200m. |
9 | 10 | JAMESINA (CH290) | T H So | B/TT | Angled into a rearward spot from outside alley, 7-8Ls back in two wide line to bend, made steady progress without clearest running in stretch to be nearest at finish. |
10 | 6 | AOMEN (N008) | W Pike | B | Broke well and had nice run on back of speed first behind leader, right there to turn, kept to inside but proved one paced final 300m lacking usual finish. |
11 | 12 | CORPORAL JONES (M025) | M Du Plessis | -- | Taken down to rails from a wide gate, raced behind midfield 6Ls or so back, easy time to turn, just kept on behind them in stretch. |
12 | 7 | CARTHAGE (CL256) | Y T Cheng | SR/TT | No speed and settled back with last few, 8Ls or so away on rails, well back to bend, closed steadily before striking trouble inside 100m and almost fell, rider lost irons thereafter. |
13 | 13 | PACKING TYCOON (N010) | W C Marwing | TT | Settled at rear 3 wide with cover, 8Ls or so back, set task turning, never really got warm and was disappointing. |
14 | 5 | ALL ROUND (N222) | W M Lai | -- | Only fair to begin, ended up 4Ls back in midfield on rails, soft run throughout, very one paced when pressure applied. |
