Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | VALUE CHOICE (CG213) | K T Yeung | B | 3-back the rails better than midfield until the 600 M, peeled out 2-wide to challenge straightening for the line, kept on well to get up inside final 50 M. |
2 | 2 | GALACTIC TACTIC (CH095) | B Prebble | H-/XB- | Close up in 4th initially, 2Ls back in 4th off last turn, snatched the lead fleetingly inside final 200 M only to be overhauled close home. |
3 | 9 | TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) | D Beadman | P-/TT | Big run, 5Ls back in 10th and dragged back to 8Ls last on straightening, finished very strongly to place, post came a fraction early for the quinella. (Tactic questioned.) |
4 | 11 | GANBARIA (CE052) | C K Tong | B/TT | Led by a neck on the rails early on and same into stretch, all out when headed at the furlong pole, one-paced finish and run out of a place final 50 M. |
5 | 1 | FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) | M Du Plessis | -- | Checked early but recovered to hold midfield spot with cover through to home straight, stayed on fairly but outpaced by front quartet to conclude. |
6 | 4 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | W M Lai | B | 3-wide but with cover around midfield and 4Ls or so from the pace down the back, never likely to improve a great deal in home straight. |
7 | 6 | RACING SPIRIT (CE105) | H W Lai | B/TT | Quietly ridden from wide gate, 5Ls down in 9th off last bend, made minor late ground without bothering the principals. |
8 | 12 | HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) | Y T Cheng | V/TT | Caught 3-wide no cover before flanking leader out 2-wide from 800 M to stretch, couldn't keep up in the final 200 M. |
9 | 5 | CRICKET DON (CJ229) | F Coetzee | -- | Travelled well in box-seat down the back straight but came under pressure on the circle and steadily yielded ground in the closing stages. |
10 | 7 | FOREST STAR (CJ167) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Didn't break well, 3-wide no cover throughout, 3Ls back in midfield at first but 2Ls back in 4th off last bend, tough run soon told and faded. |
11 | 10 | CHOICE AND CHANCE (CA381) | B Doyle | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
12 | 8 | INVESTAR (CH099) | O Doleuze | B | Broke well but became disunited in his action for a number of strides shortly after the start, slipped back to 6Ls in 10th turning in, eased down. |
