Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | HONG KONG HALL (G315) | H Bowman | TT | Quickly into stride, led uncontested into straight, kept responding to pressure passing 300M, held on well from pursuing rivals at the line. |
2 | 10 | SKY HEART (J092) | H Bentley | TT1 | From wide draw settled at the rear further back than intended, closed off well when asked on straightening, got 2nd near line in an eye-catching effort. (Lay in final 200M / Jockey questioned re riding tactics.) |
3 | 8 | PATCH OF THETA (H485) | C Y Ho | H/XB | Restrained to a position ahead of midfield, 3-wide making the home turn, battled steadily home to claim 3rd in a busy finish. |
4 | 6 | LUCKY FIONN (J047) | A Hamelin | TT1 | Dropped back from wide draw and adopted a rearward position 7Ls back, worked into it nicely from 350M, made up good ground in the run home to get up for 4th late. |
5 | 14 | SONIC BOOM (H144) | A Badel | XB/B1/TT | Crowded on jumping, raced in midfield along the fence, stayed on moderately over final 300M, lacked a kick and was safely held in the end. |
6 | 9 | SILVER DESTINY (J096) | K Teetan | -- | Chased leaders along the inside, moved up to 2nd early straight, tried hard to get to leader but succumbed late, lost several places close home. |
7 | 12 | LOYAL BO BO (J011) | M Chadwick | SR1 | Caught 4-wide without cover from outside draw, maintained a position just ahead of midfield home turn, kept battling until no extra inside 100M. (Jockey was advised his ride in early stages lacked initiative.) |
8 | 13 | HIGH PERCENTAGE (G413) | C L Chau | B/TT | Always in touch, raced keenly in early stages, had every chance turning home, improved to 3rd mid-straight but couldn't sustain effort final 150M. |
9 | 2 | SIGHT HERO (D487) | L Hewitson | BO/TT | Jumped well, taken back to a midfield position, was commencing to finish off the race when disappointed for running 200M and had difficulty obtaining clear running after. Inconclusive run. |
10 | 4 | AMAZINGTEAMWORK (H488) | Y L Chung | TT1 | Jumped fairly, settled near last 5Ls off the pace, offered very little on straightening, never posed a serious threat. |
11 | 5 | BOWSER (H460) | A Atzeni | -- | Tracked leader, checked 200M when already beaten, no extra late stages. |
12 | 7 | PATCH OF KINGDOM (H478) | M F Poon | -- | Caught wide in a position behind midfield from draw 11, struggled to keep up 550M, never dangerous. |
13 | 3 | SHINING FORTUNE (G252) | B Avdulla | P-/XB/PC2 | Settled at the back of midfield, held up for clear running until 200M, made no impression after. |
