Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | BEAUTY JOY (E058) | B Avdulla | TT | Settled nicely in midfield along the fence, into clear running 400M, stayed on best final 200M to take lead close home. |
2 | 2 | BEAUTY ETERNAL (H008) | Z Purton | -- | Tracked leaders, driven along 500M, quickened up to lead them 200M out, just couldn't hold off winner late. |
3 | 6 | RED LION (H115) | A Hamelin | -- | From draw 12 caught wide no cover chasing the pace, fought on well from 400M, not matched first two over final 200M but kept on determinedly to hold 3rd. |
4 | 5 | NIMBLE NIMBUS (E249) | H Bentley | V/TT | Away well enough from draw 2, held up just behind midfield on settling, ran home evenly to claim 4th, just missed out on 3rd spot. |
5 | 11 | HAPPY TOGETHER (G446) | A Badel | H/TT | Taken across from wide barrier, settled behind mid-division, 6Ls to make up 400M, ran on mildly for modest 5th. |
6 | 10 | TAJ DRAGON (H164) | M Chadwick | -- | Jumped on terms, obtained an inner spot tracking the pace, held up early straight and unable to obtain clear running until near 150M, got home only fairly over final stages. |
7 | 12 | SUPER SUNNY SING (G319) | A Atzeni | TT | Taken across from wide barrier, settled towards the rear, ran on only fairly passing 400M, never a threat to leaders. |
8 | 4 | SWORD POINT (G448) | K C Leung | CP | Moved forward and emerged as leader passing 1000M, under siege 300M, driven but no extra final 150M. |
9 | 8 | HEALTHY HAPPY (D435) | L Hewitson | V/TT | Up with early pace before taking up a position outside leader, fought hard early straight trying to gain the lead, ran on empty passing 200M and weakened away. |
10 | 13 | THE BEST PEACH (H139) | L Ferraris | TT | Dropped back to race at the rear 9Ls, brought wide for home but gave limited response. Never a threat to much higher rated leaders. |
11 | 1 | RUSSIAN EMPEROR (E198) | H Bowman | SR | Reserved near the rear 8Ls off the pace, couldn't pick up on straightening, no impression on leaders. |
12 | 9 | MONEY CATCHER (G171) | K De Melo | V | Settled down in midfield further back than usual, couldn't go on passing 400M, soon weakened. (Jockey expressed concern with the manner in which his horse finished the race off.) |
13 | 7 | ENCOUNTERED (G236) | K Teetan | TT | Caught racing 3-wide in midfield, dropped away passing 350M, quickly out of contention. (Jockey : no explanation for the disappointing run / Unacceptable Performance.) |
