Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | FAMILISTS (M102) | B Prebble | H | Even break, raced in midfield 4Ls or so back, came 2 wide on bend, tracked nicely to 400m and set out after leaders, fought most of straight gaining upper hand late. |
2 | 4 | JUST FANTASTIC (CL291) | D Whyte | H | Plenty of early pace as expected, took ideal spot behind leaders, had run of race and came 2 wide on bend, loomed turning and led until 50m but lost out narrowly late. |
3 | 8 | LEGEND EXPRESS (CK224) | H W Lai | B | Out well enough, gradually worked up rails to be first behind leader, all favours in run, gained gap turning but couldn’t dash with principals at 300m, stuck on well. |
4 | 1 | GRAND DANCER (CK268) | J Lloyd | B | Taken back and slotted in along rails, raced 6Ls back just off midfield, saved ground on bend, kept to task well and stayed on to make frame. |
5 | 3 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | G Mosse | TT | Midfield 2 and 3 wide throughout, 4Ls back on circle, didn’t quicken but kept to task evenly in straight. |
6 | 6 | WINNING EDGE (CL297) | W C Marwing | B/H | No early pace, 7Ls or so away in rear division on fence, improved with rails run on turning, made steady ground despite not much room last 100m. |
7 | 7 | BUSINESS AS USUAL (M057) | D Beadman | H | Bit tardy into stride, posted 3 wide 4 wide on bend 6Ls or so back, tough run to turn, just held ground in straight. |
8 | 11 | SUNRISE (CK026) | C W Wong | H | Faded back and raced 3 wide at rear 7-8Ls back, had cover throughout, made gradual progress down middle but never really looked likely. |
9 | 13 | BILLION (CH316) | Y T Cheng | H | Showed customary speed, took up running and set an even tempo with pressure from outside, headed at 300m and dropped off thereafter. |
10 | 9 | WISER (CL197) | M L Yeung | B-/H1/P1 | Slow into stride, at rear nearly 10Ls back, niggled turning, made only minor progress. |
11 | 5 | TAVERNER (CK227) | Z Purton | B/TT | Ended up in midfield 5ls or so away, raced 3 wide with a trail on circle, lacked usual finish and just battled to line. |
12 | 12 | GREAT GUY (CH112) | M W Leung | TT | Went forward from an awkward draw and pressured leader early, worked a bit outside leader early, still there but niggled turning, faded from 300m. |
13 | 14 | HAPPY MASTER (CE050) | C K Tong | CP | Well back, 2 wide 8Ls or so away throughout, didn’t respond in straight. |
14 | 10 | ENABLING (M229) | W M Lai | -- | Pressed forward but posted 3 wide without cover, used too much to bend, dropped out soon after turning. |
