Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | YELLOWFIN (G326) | L Hewitson | XB | Soon led and dictated the race, skipped away early straight, was challenged by a rival late stages but had enough in reserves to hold on. |
2 | 10 | ROMANTIC LAOS (G476) | K C Leung | TT | Chased leaders on inside, little change at the home turn, tried hard to close the gap on winner but came up short. |
3 | 1 | GALAXY WITNESS (G110) | H Bowman | TT1 | Jumped only fairly, settled towards the rear 7-8Ls behind leader, driven nearing 400M, came with a good run from well back to get 3rd without reaching first two. |
4 | 6 | IVY LEAGUE (H116) | K De Melo | SR/XB/TT | Hampered on jumping then taken back to near the rear, 5Ls to make up 400M, stayed on moderately to claim a distant 4th. |
5 | 11 | CHARITY BINGO (H254) | Y L Chung | -- | Unable to slot in, raced wide no cover in midfield, struggled to make an impression over final 300M, held ground to the line. |
6 | 7 | GLORIOUS JOURNEY (J137) | M Chadwick | TT | Chased leaders before falling back to a position ahead of midfield, worked home only fairly final 300M. No threat to leaders. |
7 | 2 | WINNING DRAGON (E461) | B Avdulla | B/H/TT | Caught wide early before crossing to race outside leader, couldn't go on passing 300M, faded towards the finish. |
8 | 5 | FALLON (H219) | H Bentley | B/TT | Began awkwardly, settled down midfield 5Ls off the pace, gave limited response on straightening and couldn't get into the finish. |
9 | 9 | RED MAJESTY (E028) | K Teetan | B/TT | Slow to begin, settled behind midfield further back than intended, hard driven 450M but made no impression in the run home. |
10 | 12 | ONLY U (J037) | B Thompson | CP/TT | Jumped fairly, adopted a midfield position 5Ls on settling, struggled to keep up from 500M, already beaten when eased down in the home straight. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
11 | 4 | SIMPLY MAVERICK (H346) | Z Purton | -- | Obtained an on-pace position, under the pump 500M, fell away sharply early straight and eased over final 200M. (Jockey : didn't handle the 'Good to Yielding' track conditions) |
12 | 8 | SUMMIT IMPACT (J125) | A Atzeni | CP | From wide draw dropped back to race in last, came under serious pressure home turn, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
