Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | MASTER TOWER (CK012) | H W Lai | -- | Led on the rails by 1L at the 1000 M, still in front and going well entering straight, kept up to his work to score readily. |
2 | 4 | NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) | O Doleuze | CP | 3Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at 1000 M, soon niggled along but responded to pressure even if he could only reach winner's hindquarters. |
3 | 1 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | D Whyte | CP | Best away, midfield with cover 4Ls off speed until final turn, briefly threatened to win 300 M out, one-paced in 3rd inside final 200 M. |
4 | 7 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | Z Purton | -- | Taken back as usual, 8Ls last at the 1000 M and still in rear turning for home, ran on past spent forces in the straight for a never-nearer 4th. |
5 | 14 | CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) | C K Tong | B/TT | Slightly worse than midfield 4Ls or 5Ls off speed through to final turn, recovered minor late ground for 5th but no real danger overall. |
6 | 10 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | K L Chui | B/TT | 3-wide with cover in midfield 5Ls off pace down back straight, pressured to stay even this close off final bend, tepid conclusion. |
7 | 5 | MYTHIC STEED (CD208) | P H Lo | PC2 | Pressed forward from widest gate to dispute early pace, 1L back in 2nd at the 1000 M, hard at work to stay in touch off last turn, faded. |
8 | 3 | MEDALLION (CG322) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Box-seated on the rails 2Ls off pace initially, hard pressed to stay in touch taking last turn, weak finish especially given the soft run. |
9 | 2 | STORM'S DESTINY (CJ260) | M L Yeung | CP-/B1 | Slow out, 6Ls back in 12th at halfway, struck heels and lost ground 500 M out, always well held. |
10 | 12 | TALE OF FRIENDSHIP (CH184) | M Du Plessis | B/SR | Always rearward and pressured, unbalanced hitting the rail 1100 M out, no room and steadied 200 M out, never a genuine threat. |
11 | 11 | SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) | J Winks | B2 | 4-back on the rails at least 5Ls from the speed throughout, never on terms. |
12 | 13 | TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) | J Lloyd | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
13 | 9 | BAUHINIA (CD118) | M W Leung | PC | 3-wide no cover at halfway when over 2Ls off pace, weakened in the home straight after the extra work, eased final 100 M. |
14 | 8 | EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) | W M Lai | B/TT | Very wide and without cover throughout, had little hope given his limitations after the tough passage, eased final 200 M. |
