Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | MAGIC TURBO (CJ098) | B Doyle | SR | Reasonable jump, drifted back to a rearward spot 5Ls back, taken wide on the turn, picked up gradually in straight, hit lead at 50 M to score a workmanlike victory. |
2 | 11 | EXPLODING (CH046) | Z Purton | XB/H | Quickly away, settled 3-wide behind midfield 4Ls off pace, gradually made ground in mid-section, hit front 200 M out, kept on well but unable to sustain effort to line, headed last 50 M. |
3 | 6 | GOLDEN TREASURE (CJ087) | D Whyte | -- | Began well, positioned in midfield spot 3-4Ls behind, travelled comfortably with cover, made run with the winner in straight, no clear run over concluding stages, could have finished closer. |
4 | 2 | STAREILLY (CJ083) | W C Marwing | TT | Eased back on jumping from the outside barrier, soon racing detached in rear 6Ls back, came very wide on the turn, finished the last 400 M in good time despite jockey dropping his whip in straight. |
5 | 7 | SPEED FIGHTER (CD355) | C K Tong | B | Away with them, hard pressed to stay close to the pace, responded okay under pressure in straight, kept on before giving ground inside 100 M. |
6 | 12 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | M L Yeung | SR/V | Even break, moved up gradually to lead on rails under a moderate tempo, unable to sustain effort in straight, headed entering 250 M, weakened towards the line. |
7 | 8 | ROYAL DOMAIN (CH287) | M Du Plessis | B- | Moderate start, drifted back to near last trailing 5-6Ls behind, made limited progress down the straight getting past beaten runners only. |
8 | 9 | WINNING FIRST (CJ120) | D Beadman | H/TT | Good break from the inside barrier, settled in midfield along the rails, unbalanced near 700 M, peeled out to challenge in straight but found little in run to line. |
9 | 4 | JUST RIGHT (CH300) | W M Lai | SR | Slightly slow out, ridden forward as expected, about 2Ls behind leader under a moderate tempo, unable to pick up on straightening and just plugged away to line. |
10 | 3 | PERFECT TREASURE (CH091) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Jumped fairly, settled better than midfield about 2-3Ls off pace, caught wide and without cover on turning, had every chance in straight but didn't find any. A disappointing AWT debut. |
11 | 1 | COOL CAT (CH330) | B Prebble | XB1/TT1 | Began with rest, in midfield 3Ls off the leader 2-wide, used little in trip, had little room in straight and was checked near 200 M, shifted out to challenge but no progress. |
12 | 5 | CRICKET DON (CJ229) | K C Leung | -- | Reasonable break, rolled to a rail position in midfield, didn't travel too well on turning, steadied entering 200 M, never a factor. |
