Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | FLYING FORTRESS (J445) | H Bentley | TT | Began well from draw 1, tracked leaders on settling, challenged for the lead passing 400M, led 250M and kept going well to the line. |
2 | 4 | ROCKET SPADE (G170) | H Bowman | XB/TT | Taken back from wide draw, settled in last spot until passing 600M, made up good ground on straightening to take 2nd before line. |
3 | 5 | KOLACHI (J395) | M Chadwick | XB- | From draw 2 settled down in midfield along the inside, travelled well into straight and kept up the chase on winner throughout, went 2nd from 50M until one stride before line. |
4 | 8 | IVY LEAGUE (H116) | K De Melo | SR/TT | Went forward vying for lead, became clear leader from 1000M, under siege top of straight, fought hard but no extra and faded final 200M to finish 4th. |
5 | 3 | CAMBRIDGE (K085) | K C Leung | XB-/TT | Bumped on jumping, raced keenly in midfield, into the clear 250M then ran on mildly final stages without troubling leaders. |
6 | 2 | STAR CONTACT (E472) | K Teetan | B/TT | Restrained behind midfield, had 6Ls to make up 400M, stayed on beating tired horses. No threat to leaders. |
7 | 11 | GOOD LUCK WIN (J135) | Y L Chung | B/TT | From draw 10 pushed along to find the lead but unable to cross, caught wide until 1100M, hard run took its toll and weakened from 400M. (Stewards advised jockey he had made an error judgement early stages.) |
8 | 9 | SETANTA (G095) | L Hewitson | B/TT | Bumped at the start, given a waiting ride near the rear, 8Ls to make up 400M, swung widest into straight, ran past well beaten horses only. |
9 | 6 | CHARITY TOGETHER (K254) | M F Poon | B1 | Jumped only fairly, settled towards the rear, came under pressure 500M but failed to respond to riding. Never in the hunt. |
10 | 1 | OUTGATE (H113) | A Badel | H/TT | Went forward and vied for lead until 1000M, chased leader into straight, couldn't sustain run inside 200M, faded towards the line. |
11 | 7 | SUPER UNICORN (H481) | M L Yeung | TT | Instructed to go forward, settled in 4th in a fast run race, couldn't finish off in the straight. (Jockey : may be better suited by being ridden in a conservative manner in early stages.) |
