Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | SHAMAL (V290) | H T Mo | SR | Pushed forward from the wide draw to ensure he led at all costs. Ran strongly and pulled away mid straight. Despite fading late, held well on the line. |
2 | 2 | HOUSE OF FUN (V092) | J Moreira | TT | Only jumped fairly, but taken forward early to sit 5th on the fence. Steady for the majority of the straight, before switching on and running strongly to consolidate 2nd over the last 100m. |
3 | 9 | LITTLE GIANT (V342) | Z Purton | -- | Taken up early to be handily placed, before being crowded at 900m and settling forward of midfield. Tended to drift out under the stick late, but still managed to sneak into 3rd under hands and heels late. |
4 | 10 | TURF SPRINT (T396) | D Whyte | H | Taken forward early from the inside draw to settle 3rd, on the fence. Slightly 1 paced in the straight, and faded out in the last 100m. |
5 | 5 | KEY WITNESS (S212) | B Prebble | B/TT | Eased back early to settle second last. Came widest on the turn and stayed on strongly and was still gaining on the line. |
6 | 4 | MOMENTUM LUCKY (V151) | U Rispoli | -- | Pushed forward to be prominent early, before being steadied when crossed at 900m and settling 4th. 1 paced in the straight, and never a threat. |
7 | 12 | LUCKY DOLLAR (A021) | M L Yeung | TT | Pushed forward to the front of the field early. Struck heels and unbalanced 850m when crossed. Plugged on to the line fairly, under minimal urging. |
8 | 7 | HIGH FIVE (T200) | C Schofield | -- | Cruised forward early to settle around midfield. Never a threat and plugged away to the line under minimal urging. |
9 | 1 | DRAGON GENERAL (T400) | H N Wong | B/TT | Fractious in the barrier, threw his head back and was very slow to begin. Was a distant last for the majority of the race. Picked up a couple easing late, but was never in the race. |
10 | 6 | FLYING TOURBILLON (T051) | H W Lai | B/XB | Settled just forward of midfield, wide with no cover. Only responded meekly to urgings in the straight, and eased out last 100m. |
11 | 11 | BULB ELITE (A183) | K C Leung | -- | Dropped back early from the wide draw to sit near last. Never kicked, and was eased late. |
12 | 8 | LEAN AMBASSADOR (A250) | K Teetan | B1 | Eased back from the wide draw to sit towards the rear of the field. Didn't respond to riding in the straight, and quickly eased. |
