Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | BOWSER (H460) | A Hamelin | TT | Maintained a midfield position 3Ls away, responded well when driven near 300M, led 50M out and just held on at the line from the fast finishing 2nd and 3rd. |
2 | 10 | LUCKY SYMPHONY (J089) | A Atzeni | H1/P1/TT | Jumped only fairly and settled towards the rear, charged home strongly final 250M, just missed in a desperately close finish. |
3 | 14 | PROSECCO (E457) | K Teetan | SR/V/TT | Bumped after the start, soon shifted across to the outside rail 6Ls towards the rear, was badly held up for running until 50M then flew home to almost win it. |
4 | 2 | FUN ELITE (J042) | H Bowman | TT | Jumped awkwardly, moved up to track leaders, loomed a strong chance 200M before outsprinted by first three close home |
5 | 6 | CHEERFUL WORLD (H352) | L Ferraris | -- | Chased leaders along stands' rail, showed greenness when placed under pressure 300M, still in contention going into 150M but was outsprinted late. (Jockey : his mount lay in from 250M and proved difficult to ride out.) |
6 | 1 | THE GREAT MASTER (H457) | Y L Chung | H1/TT | Soon led along the outside rail on jumping from draw 14, joined by rivals near 200M, grudgingly gave way final stages. |
7 | 13 | HELLS BELLS (H280) | B Thompson | SR/XB/TT1 | Bumped at the start, showed speed to be racing just off the speed, had difficulty obtaining clear running 200M-100M but always held by leaders in the run home. (Roarer). |
8 | 3 | METRO WARRIOR (D387) | E C W Wong | CP | Bounded on jumping and lost ground, restrained near the rear, made some ground final 250M but posed little threat to leaders. |
9 | 8 | PROSPEROUS SMILE (J014) | A Badel | CP- | Moved forward to be pressing leader, hard driven to maintain its position from 400M, no extra 150M weakened away. (Bled.) |
10 | 12 | FANCY STAR (H428) | M L Yeung | P/TT | Settled down midfield, unable to obtain clear running from 350M and couldn't be ridden out to the finish. Inconclusive run. |
11 | 4 | PANDA (H466) | Z Purton | B | Bumped at the start, held up in midfield, found disappointingly little when asked and never able to challenge. (Jockey : didn't travel well amongst other runners and failed to finish to the race off.) |
12 | 11 | MARIO (J100) | B Avdulla | B | Shifted in at the start and was bumped, ended up at the back 5-6Ls away, never near to challenge. |
13 | 9 | CERVIN (H253) | K H Chan | B-/TT1 | Obtained a position midfield towards the center of track, failed to pick up when pushed along halfway, never dangerous. |
14 | 7 | DEEP PURSUIT (H288) | H Bentley | H1/TT1 | Towards the rear, couldn't go on passing 400M. (Blood in trachea.) |
