Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | BIG TIME BABY (A157) | M Chadwick | -- | Jumped well, tracked leaders along the fence, into clear passing 400M, quickened up well to wrestle the lead 100M out, kept on to the line. |
2 | 3 | ELUSIVE STATE (A036) | J Moreira | TT | Bustled along after the start to maintain a midfield position, 4Ls off the pace 400M, stayed on well to claim 2nd near line, nearest finish. |
3 | 11 | SUNNY BOY (A379) | C Schofield | CP | Chased leader 2-wide, ridden to take lead passing 200M, headed by winner 100M, lost 2nd before line. |
4 | 12 | SEVEN HEAVENS (B089) | K Teetan | B/H/TT | In touch tracking the pace in 4th spot, kept on steadily in the straight but always held by first 3. |
5 | 2 | YEE CHEONG BABY (C273) | Z Purton | -- | Driven along, crossed to the lead before the turn, came under pressure 300M, headed inside 200M, weakened towards the line. (Blood in trachea / Jockey : did not handle the pressure when racing on the AWT first time.) |
6 | 9 | LOVING A BOOM (C122) | K C Leung | B/XB | Taken across behind runners early stages, held up behind midfield, ran on same pace final 300M, never a threat to leaders. |
7 | 5 | SPEEDY KING (A391) | K H Chan | -- | Along the inside never far off from leaders, ridden and outpaced from 350M, soon out of contention. |
8 | 10 | CALIFORNIA ARCHER (A417) | L Hewitson | H/TT | Began awkwardly, settled 2nd last, over 10Ls off the pace 400M, made no real progress passing a couple beaten runners only. |
9 | 4 | RAGING BLITZKRIEG (B147) | R Bayliss | H | Driven along from draw 12 but failed to muster, caught very wide and without cover in midfield, couldn't finish off in the straight. |
10 | 1 | DRAGON GENERAL (T400) | B Shinn | B/TT | Dropped back from wide draw, settled in last over 10Ls off the pace, failed to make any impact turning home, never in the picture. |
11 | 8 | PICK NUMBER ONE (B021) | G van Niekerk | B/TT | In mid-division along the 3 path, bumped rival at 450M, struggled from there. (Jockey : did not feel comfortable in its action after becoming unbalanced home turn.) |
12 | 6 | LIMITLESS (A115) | U Rispoli | H/P/XB | Held up behind midfield, caught wide no cover during race, couldn't keep up from 600M, weakened away to finish tailed off. (Unacceptable Performance). |
