1 | 8 | SENSATION (S225) | K Teetan | H/V | Took a while to get across from the wide draw, eventually settling midfield, 3 wide with cover by the 900m. Ran on from the 400m and challenged down the straight. Looked gone at 100m, before kicking again late. |
2 | 3 | JOLLY BANNER (V077) | M Chadwick | H | Taken up early to sit forward of midfield, 1 off the fence with cover. Fought all the way down the straight, challenging the winner from 200m. Nosed in front at 100m, before winner kicked again and got away from 50m. |
3 | 5 | MEGA RED (V078) | J Moreira | B1 | Fairly away and dropped back early to sit last, 10L off the leader. Came widest in the straight, and flew home with a wing on every hoof. Made up a lot of ground and was catching first two late. |
4 | 7 | RUBY COAST (T159) | N Rawiller | -- | Dropped back early to sit with the back trio, 10L off the early leader. Pressed on well in the straight, and claimed a lot of positions in the run to the line late. |
5 | 4 | AVELLINO (T388) | O Doleuze | H | OK away and settled forward of midfield, 3 wide with cover. Came wider on the turn. Initially ran flat at the top of the straight, before picking up the bit and running OK over the last 200m. |
6 | 6 | CHEVALIER STAR (T167) | H N Wong | B/H | Began awkwardly, then bumped and unbalanced. Recovered well to lead easily and set some fast early sectionals. Still working well in front at 300m, but started to burn out soon after and drifted out of contention from 200m. |
7 | 11 | SUN TOUCH (V266) | Z Purton | TT | Fractious before the jump, then bump and unbalanced away. Settled behind midfield. Came inside off heels 400m for run, but only fair early. Started to run on 200m, but out of contention and only hands and heels from 150m. |
8 | 10 | RAGING BULL (S370) | T H So | H/P | Pushed forward early to eventually sit a length off the early leader, 1 off the fence. Didn't respond to urgings in the straight, and hands and heels to the line from 150m. |
9 | 2 | HO IN ONE (N382) | G Lerena | CP/TT | Didn't try to keep up with the quick early pace, and sat back midfield, 1 off the fence. Only ran flat in the straight, and subsequently found to have bled. |
10 | 1 | VICTORY DAY (V079) | M L Yeung | B | Taken forward early before eventually settling forward of midfield, on the rail. One paced in the straight, and not used over the last 200m. |
11 | 9 | MR POTENTIAL (V270) | D Whyte | TT | Pushed forward early before being hampered at 1200m and settling midfield, on the fence. Never responded to riding in the straight and eased late. |
12 | 13 | HANG'S DECISION (T262) | K C Leung | CP/H | Pushed forward early to be handily place in 3rd, but 3 wide with no cover. Never responded to rider early in the straight, and was eased out from the 200m. |
13 | 14 | MAGNETISM (V114) | C Schofield | TT1 | Looking to push forward early, before being severely checked at 1100m and losing 3L and dropping to the rear of the field. Not used early in the straight, and began to hang badly under the whip from the 200m. |
14 | 12 | DIGITAL PIONEER (V177) | C Y Ho | -- | Fairly away and dropped back to sit at the rear of the field, 2-3 wide. Detached from the field before the turn, and was eased a long way from home. Unacceptable performance. |
