Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | HAPPY FIERY DRAGON (V108) | A Sanna | H/XB1/TT | Broke well from a low draw, settled just off the pace on the rail, angled out for a run entering straight, fought on steadily to just prevail in a four-way finish. |
2 | 12 | LE PEGASE (T280) | M L Yeung | B | Began well from a wide gate, prominent and wide before racing one-out-one-back in joint 3rd around home bend, fought on steadily down the straight, lost in bob. |
3 | 11 | STARRY STARLIES (T429) | W M Lai | B | Moderate start, improving on the rail when inconvenienced passing the 800 metres, ran on alongside first two holding every chance but unable to peg them back. |
4 | 4 | GAINFULJET (V283) | Z Purton | TT | Ridden from the widest gate to lead on the rail, held narrow running round the bend and into straight, broke over half a length clear early in straight but unable to sustain effort and swamped inside the final 150 metres. |
5 | 10 | FURIOUS PEGASUS (S441) | C Schofield | TT | Settled just worse than midfield, shuffled further back when wide around home bend, widest runner turning in, produced good impression down the centre of the straight, did best work late. |
6 | 3 | HAYMAKER (T054) | K Teetan | H-/SR-/B1 | Settled at the back from a wide gate, saved ground on the rail turning for home, did not find much room behind runners early in straight, kept on steadily to be nearest at finish. |
7 | 7 | HAPPY GAINS (V252) | M F Poon | B/XB | Settled in midfield, kept on steadily down the centre of the track, never threatening. |
8 | 8 | ORIENTAL FANTASIA (P269) | H N Wong | P | Moderate start, improved steadily to join the leader rounding home bend, unable to sustain effort and faded inside the final 300 metres. |
9 | 1 | JIMSON THE FAMOUS (T253) | C Murray | V/TT | Lacked early pace, travelled in last few before creeping up on the rail rounding home bend, one-paced in straight. |
10 | 2 | KWAICHUNG BROTHERS (A012) | J Moreira | B/TT | Always in last few, baulked for a run early in straight, kept on at the same pace. (Questioned for disappointing performance) |
11 | 6 | HURRICANE KID (T285) | N Callan | PC | Raced wide in last few after beginning from a wide gate, lost position and dropped to last coming onto home bend, failed to quicken under pressure but kept on same pace to the line. |
12 | 9 | NATURAL TEAM (P257) | K C Ng | TT | Prominent far side, gave ground steadily from half-way out. |
