1 | 8 | JUNEAU PRIDE (J443) | B Avdulla | -- | Went forward chasing leading pair, well placed to strike 400M but jockey waited with until 250M, accelerated well when asked and soon in front, had enough up in tank to fight off runner-up late. |
2 | 13 | ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (J039) | L Hewitson | XB | Began fairly, dropped back to race behind midfield, waited with on the inside, quickened up nicely 250M when a gap opened up, tried hard late but held by winner in a driving finish. |
3 | 9 | VICTORY SKY (J540) | A Atzeni | SR1 | Moved up to track leaders after jumping from a low draw, held up for clear running 450-350M before closing off nicely for 3rd. |
4 | 4 | STORM RIDER (J027) | B Thompson | -- | Began awkwardly, ended up towards the rear, had big task in hand top of straight, switched out to challenge 300M then closed off fastest to take 4th, nearest finish. |
5 | 5 | JOY OF SPRING (H383) | A Badel | TT | Held up in mid-division 5-6Ls off pace, gave positive response on straightening, stayed on mildly for 5th. Passable return after lengthy absence. |
6 | 3 | PATCH OF COSMO (J357) | M Chadwick | B | Jumped fairly, recovered to race in midfield, pushed along 500M but found less than expected, kept on fairly final 300M without posing threat to leaders. (Jockey unable to explain for the disappointing performance.) |
7 | 10 | ANOTHER ZONDA (K176) | M L Yeung | B | Away well enough, stayed close to leaders, had every chance from 400M but the finishing response was only fair. No threat to leaders from 200M. |
8 | 2 | KEEFY (G306) | E C W Wong | -- | Positively ridden, vied for lead on outside, had narrow lead from top of straight, caught by rivals nearing 200M then weakened out of contention. |
9 | 11 | BUCEPHALAS (K096) | H T Mo | H/TT | Urged along early and moved up contesting the lead along the inside, soon headed turning home, battled on to 200M then weakened. (Jockey : raced keenly in the lead and was left without a finishing effort.) |
10 | 12 | THE ABSOLUTE (H438) | H Bentley | CP/XB/TT | Dropped back from wide draw and crossed to a rail position near last, had 7Ls to make up 400M, ran past well beaten horses only. |
11 | 14 | MR ENERGIA (J239) | K Teetan | B | Not far from leaders early, eased back to race in midfield middle stages, ran on one paced early straight, weakened and eased mid-straight. (Jockey concerned something amiss from 200M and didn't fully ride it out to the finish.) |
12 | 7 | YIU CHEUNG VICTORY (J529) | K De Melo | SR | Taken back from outside draw, raced as the rear over 8Ls off the pace, still last turning home, couldn't pick up pace. |
13 | 6 | SUNNYVALE (K036) | D McDonogh | -- | Jumped on terms, settled in midfield early stages, got shuffled back to near the rear home turn, failed to finish off on straightening. |
14 | 1 | LUCK IS BACK (J398) | L Ferraris | TT1 | Caught wide no cover in mid-division, struggled to keep up 600M, weakened rapidly on straightening. |
