Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | FRESH AIR (CL206) | D Whyte | -- | Cozily sat just behind the leader, checked at 1000 M, niggled along turning for home, kept battling on in home straight, won by a whisker. |
2 | 11 | GUAN DAO (CH211) | M L Yeung | CO | Jumped fastest, took the one out one back spot easily, responded well when asked final 400 M, fought hard to contest the lead in home straight, just caught on line. |
3 | 6 | PRAISING (CL114) | B Prebble | -- | Took time to muster speed, ended up travelling 2Ls off the pace, 3-wide with no cover, responded well when placed under pressure in home straight, made up gradual ground final 300 M, finished off soundly for 3rd. |
4 | 9 | BUMBLE BEE (CL027) | C W Wong | H | Driven to lead and found the fence passing 1000 M, left contested until the home turn, overhauled at 300 M but still kept on, lost a place final 50 M. |
5 | 12 | SPICY SHRIMP (CL067) | K C Leung | H1 | Broke well, prominently placed within striking distance from the leader, travelled one-off with cover, remained one-paced when placed under pressure final 400 M, never really troubled the principals. |
6 | 7 | TOUCH CHIC (CL125) | Y T Cheng | -- | Awkward start, urged along to sit one from the rear 8Ls off the speed, shifted wide for home, kicked well when clear 350 M out, made up substantial ground down centre of home straight. |
7 | 13 | THE KID (CK080) | Z Purton | V | Taken rearward from gate 12, 3-wide with no cover, strode forward rounding bend, kept on early in straight, could not find extra final 200 M, remained one-paced. |
8 | 2 | GALLANT HUSSAR (CJ017) | J Lloyd | B | Out in line and settled in midfield early, badly checked at 1000 M and drifted towards the rear, made up ground steadily final 400 M, no extra final 150 M. |
9 | 8 | STAR LEGEND (CJ233) | W C Marwing | H | Broke well, niggled along to hold a fence position just behind the pace group, struggled at home turn, gave very limited response when asked for efforts in home straight. |
10 | 4 | INCREDIBLE EAGLE (CK338) | C K Tong | -- | Out in line, travelled well in the mid-division and found the fence near 800 M, niggled along at home turn, only one-paced when placed under pressure in home straight. |
11 | 1 | CONFUCIUS FORTUNE (CL225) | A Suborics | -- | Awkward start, driven to catch up 6Ls behind the speed, niggled along rounding bend, gave limited response when asked for efforts in straight, failed to make up any ground. |
12 | 10 | LOTS OF FUN (CL089) | O Doleuze | -- | Lacked early speed, urged along to sit 7-8Ls behind the speed, made no progress in home straight, never a factor. |
13 | 14 | EXTRA SPECIAL (CJ213) | M Chadwick | CP-/B2 | Slow away, no early speed despite being niggled along, always rearward, made no impression. |
14 | 5 | LOTUS LOVE (CL155) | H W Lai | -- | Sat in midfield on rails, unbalanced rounding bend at 700 M, outpaced at the top of home straight, soon faded. |
