Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 14 | SUPER FORTUNE (G065) | M F Poon | TT | Moved up to be 2nd on settling, took lead nearing 200M, kicked away late stages for a comfortable victory. |
2 | 6 | HEROIC MASTER (G394) | Z Purton | B/TT | In touch, loomed 300M, tried hard but couldn't get closer to winner in the run home. Lay out under pressure final 200M. |
3 | 5 | AURIO (K056) | B Thompson | TT | Dropped back to race at the rear 6Ls back, closed off final 400M fastest, just missed 2nd. |
4 | 1 | HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) | H Bowman | B/TT | Settled in midfield, ran home mildly when driven along inside 400M, never going the pace to challenge first few. |
5 | 2 | CARROLL STREET (D489) | L Hewitson | CP/SR/TT | From draw 14 raced along the stand's rail and always in touch with leaders, poised to strike 300M but run ended 100M from home. |
6 | 13 | POSITIVE SMILE (J467) | M L Yeung | -- | Maintained a position behind midfield, made short-lived effort passing 400M, held ground over final stages. |
7 | 11 | CHEVAL VALIANT (E336) | P N Wong | B/TT | Sent forward under 10lb claimer, raced keenly in the lead, headed near 200M then gave ground final stages. (Jockey : First run in 84 days, would derive benefit from today's performance.) |
8 | 12 | GRAND NOVA (J323) | K Teetan | E | From draw 1 unable to find cover during the race, settled behind midfield 5Ls back, found less than expected when asked 400M. |
9 | 10 | PARTERRE (E234) | K De Melo | B | Held up in midfield 4Ls off leaders, ran home one-paced. Never dangerous. |
10 | 8 | O'LINER (H264) | A Hamelin | TT | Stayed in touch behind leaders until 300M when outpaced. (Jockey : no explanation for the disappointing performance.) |
11 | 4 | TURF PHOENIX (J294) | C L Chau | B | Guided to the stand's rail and obtained a position behind mid-division, couldn't muster the speed to challenge over final 400M. |
12 | 9 | SKY CAP (K125) | A Pouchin | TT1 | Reserved behind midfield, failed to run on over final 500M. Never threatened. |
13 | 3 | PLEASANT ENDEAVOR (E114) | E C W Wong | B | Settled near last, niggled long 600M from home but didn't respond to riding. Never in the picture. |
14 | 7 | MAGIC HALLOW (J329) | M Chadwick | XB/TT | Chased leaders, came under pressure halfway, gave ground passing 400M, weakened to last. |
