Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | MUST GO (J133) | A Atzeni | E/PC/TT | Settled down 3-wide behind mid-division, switched wider home turn, finished off strongly down the outside and got the better of the runner up closing stages. |
2 | 12 | DRAGON AIR FORCE (J279) | M Chadwick | TT | Settled ahead of midfield, in 4th spot 600M, closed off nicely on straightening, just failed to hold off winner in a driving finish. |
3 | 9 | MOJAVE DESERT (J330) | L Ferraris | XB | From draw 1 obtained a midfield position along the fence, quickened up 300M and ran on well for 3rd. |
4 | 1 | SELF IMPROVEMENT (H337) | M F Poon | B/TT | Chased leader, fought hard under top weight passing 300M, briefly reached the lead 100M but was out-finished by first three closing stages. |
5 | 5 | GALAXY WITNESS (G110) | B Avdulla | B2/TT | Jumped only fairly, recovered to race behind midfield, 6Ls to make up 400M but gave limited response only. Not reach leaders. |
6 | 3 | PACKING BOLE (H246) | P N Wong | CP/TT | Fast into stride and soon crossed to the lead, had 2Ls advantage top of the straight but run ended passing 150M and faded away. |
7 | 7 | MONTA FRUTTA (H455) | A Badel | H/TT | Jumped only fairly, settled down behind midfield 5Ls back, ran home same pace over final 400M. Posed no threat to leaders. |
8 | 2 | MASK RIDER (K169) | K De Melo | TT | Chased leaders in 3rd but found disappointingly little on straightening, dropped away rapidly mid-straight. (Jockey : resented the kickback and did not fully stretch out.) |
9 | 8 | SHINYU KOKOROE (K263) | K Teetan | -- | Not hurried early stages, settled near last 10Ls off the pace, already beaten top of the straight. (Jockey : did not appreciate racing on the "Wet Slow" track conditions.) |
10 | 4 | WONDERSTAR (J531) | E C W Wong | B | Jumped awkwardly, did not show early pace and ended up detached last, over 10Ls to make up 400M but failed to run on. (Jockey : did not appreciate racing on the "Wet Slow" track conditions.) |
11 | 11 | UP WITH CHARM (K139) | A Hamelin | B | From draw 12 caught racing wide no cover in midfield, came under serious pressure 600M, soon weakened and finished tailed out. Unacceptable Performance. |
