1 | 4 | JOLLY GENE (T146) | M F Poon | B/H/TT | Led steadily in the first half under 7lb claimer, upped the tempo from middle stages, opened up 2Ls lead turning in, kept on strongly and raced away final 200M to score in class record time, never challenged. |
2 | 11 | GENERAL DINO (A193) | K C Leung | B | Chased leaders in 3rd, pace fast from 1200M, improved to 2nd 300M out but couldn't bridge the gap on runaway winner. |
