1 | 4 | SAKEWIN (G275) | Y L Chung | CP | Pushed forward to lead. Entered last section with a 1L advantage & continued to finish off strongly all the way to the line to extend winning margin to 1.5L on the wire. |
2 | 6 | MIGHTY STRIDE (G346) | K C Leung | -- | Ended up getting a nice position in midfield before steadying passing the 650m.Was badly held up for a clear run from on straightening until shifting outwards at 200m & closing strongly late for very unlucky second. |
3 | 5 | DRAGON'S LUCK (H060) | L Hewitson | -- | Bumped & crowded at start & raced in second half before improving position passing 900m & raced midfield between runners. Raced tight passing 650m, dashed up to within a length at 300m before fishing off evenly last furlong. |
4 | 3 | PHOENIX LIGHT (G192) | S De Sousa | H | Steadied after start & taken back to third last between runners. Forced outwards near 700m & was steadied when close to heels near 600m. Shifted wider on straightening & closed off well down the outside, just missed 3rd. |
5 | 7 | DECISIVE TWELVE (D280) | K Teetan | TT | Had a soft run in midfield along the rail from gate 1. Was 3L from the lead entering final section, stayed along rail on straight & virtually maintained that deficit on the wire. |
6 | 2 | PARTY WARRIOR (E368) | M L Yeung | H | Bumped at the start, crowded after 50m & lost ground & settled second last along the rail. Stayed nearer the rail on straightening when just over 4L from the lead before finishing off steadily to midfield without threatening. |
7 | 12 | GLUCK RACER (E157) | M F Poon | V2 | Steadied on jumping & taken back to race a clear last. Continued at the tail and over 5L from the lead on straightening before making some late headway between runners in the concluding stages from a long way back. |
8 | 11 | CIRCUIT MIGHTY (G078) | K H Chan | TT | Ridden along from gate 12 but couldn't go early speed & drifted back to race worse than midfield when four wide around turn. Was the widest runner on straightening & did ok to maintain margin in last section given passage. |
9 | 8 | SUPERB CAPITALIST (H092) | Z Purton | H1/TT | Bumped at start but mustered speed quickly to improve & race prominently. Raced second around the bend when following the leader/winner who was 1.5L clear. Peaked on effort near 250m & weakened out quickly late (see report). |
10 | 10 | BEAUTY TURN (H074) | A Hamelin | V- | Raced in midfield between runners early. Lost position & shuffled slightly further back near the 700m, continued between runners on straightening when in the second half before failing to finish off & being beaten over 5L. |
11 | 1 | BUNDLE OF CHARM (G213) | H Bowman | -- | Bumped at start before racing wide in midfield but with cover throughout. Straightened only 3L from the lead after improving to race between runners but peaked on effort at 275m & weakened in last furlong. |
12 | 9 | TEAM SPIRIT (B230) | C Y Ho | CP-/B2/TT | Ridden forward from gate 11 but was trapped racing three wide without cover in third for the majority. Continued wide passage around the bend before emptying early in straight & weakening out very quickly to long last. |
