1 | 8 | FANTASTIC FEELING (T273) | N Callan | -- | Reserved in midfield, forced wide 600M, widest into straight, ran on strongly to lead close home. |
2 | 9 | GAMECHANGERS (A162) | K Teetan | TT1 | Settled down 3-wide towards rear 5Ls off the pace 400M, not clear run early straight, ran on well when switched 150M, got up for 2nd close home |
3 | 6 | CALIFORNIA ARCHER (A417) | G van Niekerk | H2/TT | Led along the 2-path, lost lead entering straight but refused to give in, fought on gamely to line, no match with first 2 final stages. (Jockey questioned re his riding position.) |
4 | 12 | HERO TIME (B010) | C Schofield | H/XB1/TT | From wide draw eased back to near the rear, made steady progress on straightening, just missed 3rd. |
5 | 2 | HARRIER JET (T372) | K C Leung | V/TT | Held up midfield on inner, saved ground, moved up to challenge leader 300M, outsprinted by rivals closing stages. |
6 | 10 | JOLLY CONVERGENCE (V293) | M L Yeung | CP/TT | Taken back to the rear on jumping from wide barrier, 7Ls off leaders in middle stages, made mild progress along the inside from 350M but never reached leaders. |
7 | 4 | EIGHTY EIGHTY (B008) | A Sanna | TT | Tracked leaders, shifted wide passing 300M to challenge, kept on same pace. |
8 | 5 | EAGLE (B106) | C Wong | B | Chased pace in a 3-wide position without cover, battled on one pace in the straight, no extra final 100M. |
9 | 3 | JUMBO HAPPINESS (V315) | Z Purton | B | Tracked leaders, led from 350M, caught by rivals 100M and weakened rapidly, eased late stages. (Jockey unable to explain disappointing performance.) |
10 | 1 | SMART LEADER (B456) | M Chadwick | TT | Chased leaders early, eased back for cover near 700M but remained in touch, couldn't pick up turning in, soon beaten. |
11 | 11 | GENEROUS HEART (V394) | W M Lai | H/XB | Slow to begin, towards the rear along fence, ran on one paced turning home and failed to reach contention. Awkwardly placed final 50M and eased. |
12 | 7 | G-ONE LOVER (T427) | H T Mo | B/TT | Held up midfield, over-raced middle stages, wide into straight, failed to quicken. (Jockey expressed concern re action of his mount.) |
