1 | 7 | FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) | B Prebble | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
2 | 4 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | C W Wong | -- | Began with them, restrained to midfield racing 2-wide 4Ls back, had a smooth run to bend, threatened with strong run at 150 M, briefly took charge but had no answer to the winner's turn of foot. |
3 | 14 | ELEPHANT STAR (CH323) | W M Lai | B | Reasonable jump, rolled forward to a prominent position just behind leaders, 3-wide on the turn, took time to gather in straight, ran on okay inside 200 M but unable to step up a gear. |
4 | 9 | DASHING FLAIR (CE330) | H W Lai | TT | Away in line, hard ridden to take up a spot on the rail one back, saved ground on turning, kept to inside on straightening, lacked dash but fought on bravely to finish a credible 4th after a long layoff from track. |
5 | 13 | SO NICE (CG110) | P H Lo | CP/H | Lost ground on jumping, soon taken across to the fence racing 6Ls back in last, angled out to challenge, picked up okay but had his run interrupted near 300 M. |
6 | 3 | ALIVE AND KICKING (CJ071) | D Beadman | H/TT | Good start, settled in 5th about 2Ls off the pace, 2-wide with cover, didn't see daylight until 300 M, ran on fairly without threatening. |
7 | 12 | CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) | B Doyle | CP | Good break from the inside barrier, settled down in mid-division 3Ls back on the fence, had a nice trail to turn but held up badly on the inside for most of home straight, not fully tested. |
8 | 10 | ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) | M Du Plessis | B- | Slightly slow out, drifted back to a rearward position 5Ls behind leader, not asked in run, made slight progress on straightening, bumped near 250 M and checked, one-paced thereafter. |
9 | 6 | REDHILL COMMANDER (CH078) | Z Purton | TT | Began well, taken to a spot worse than midfield about 5Ls off the pace, travelled 3-wide with cover, came wide on straightening, couldn't pick up under pressure. Little impression. |
10 | 11 | AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) | M W Leung | B | Slow to begin, took time to muster and ended up racing towards the rear trailing 5Ls. Still well back on turn, found little in straight and beat tired runners only. |
11 | 1 | DRAGON BOY (CJ204) | W C Marwing | -- | Jumped okay, travelled in midfield 3Ls behind leader, 3-wide on the turn, had every chance in straight but unable to quicken, gradually weakened towards the line. |
12 | 8 | MASTER OF SHAVERS (CJ026) | G Mosse | XB | Away with them, gradually shuffled back to the rear 6Ls back, caught wide on home turn, taken to challenge on the outside but didn't find. A disappointing run. |
13 | 5 | NEW ASIA FORWARD (CH309) | F Coetzee | B-/H-/CP2/TT | Evenly out, took up running under a slow tempo, had a relaxed run throughout, held 1L advantage entering into straight, headed near 200 M, dropped off rapidly thereafter. |
14 | 2 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | D Whyte | SR/V | Well enough to begin, rolled forward to race on the outside of leader, folded up quickly after straightening. |
