Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | LIGHTNING SPEED (CG263) | D Whyte | B | 3-back on fence 4Ls back in 5th at 1100 M, popped off the fence down backstretch and pressed on at 500 M to lead at top of home straight, comfortable win. |
2 | 10 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | M Nunes | XB-/TT | Did well to get into 'one-out-one-back' position at 1200 M despite wide gate, 1L down in 4th at top of home straight, outpaced by winner but did enough for 2nd. |
3 | 7 | SOHNA (CG183) | O Doleuze | B | Switched from widest gate to be 7Ls back in 11th at 1200 M, 4Ls down and hanging in when 9th turning for home, stayed on pretty well for a place. |
4 | 1 | CRYSTAL (CE209) | B Prebble | B | Midfield or better with cover no worse than 3Ls from the speed until home turn, had his chance to place but lacked the acceleration. |
5 | 8 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | G Boss | B | 2-wide and 5Ls back in 8th at 1100 M, headway out 5-wide turning for home, didn't trouble the principals. |
6 | 12 | MR FLOODLIGHT (CG257) | S Dye | B | 6Ls back in 9th on fence at 1100 M, outpaced turning for home when still 6Ls off pace, ran on past a few tired rivals late. |
7 | 2 | EMBRACES (CH175) | Y T Cheng | -- | 3-wide with cover in rear bunch about 6Ls from the early tempo, never likely to take a hand in the finish. |
8 | 3 | MAGI JOY (CH056) | C K Tong | B | Sent on to lead by 1L at 1000 M, weakened once headed at top of the home straight. |
9 | 6 | LIMONCELLO (CH178) | G Mosse | B/TT | Slowly away and soon in rear about 8Ls from the front, 6Ls last turning for home, never on terms. |
10 | 5 | PRIMIATA (CG226) | F Coetzee | B/TT | 2-wide and 4Ls back in 6th at 1100 M, pressed on out 3-wide no cover from the 600 M to lead at top of home straight, nothing left final 300 M. |
11 | 4 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | H W Lai | SR | Led by a neck on fence at 1200 M but handed up the advantage soon after, box-seat run until home turn but always hanging out, very weak in homestretch. |
12 | 11 | DIAGHILEV (CH241) | W M Lai | B | Trapped 3 and 4-wide without cover throughout, always around midfield about 4Ls from the front but beaten at top of home straight, eased down. |
