Comments

1ARCHIPPUS  Z Purton  (V/TT)

Guided to the fence soon after the start, travelled strongly in midfield, quickened to lead 200M and stayed it out well to the line for an overdue win.

2BORN IN CHINA  D Whyte  (B)

Crowded for room at the start, waited with towards the rear, held up momentarily 200M then came with a late surge to get up for 2nd near line.

3MR GENUINE  M F Poon  (CP)

Began well from draw 1 to be chasing leaders, briefly led 250M, outsprinted by winner nearing 150M, lost 2nd just before line.

4HOUSE OF FUN  S Clipperton  (TT)

Crowded for room on jumping, ended up towards the rear 4-5Ls off the pace, saved ground on the turn, kept on mildly on straightening, well held by leaders.

5ALMABABY  K C Ng  (TT)

Held up midfield along the 2-path, 3Ls off leader 400M, soon into clear top of straight, kept chasing but didn't reach leaders.

6VERBINSKY  C Schofield  (B-/CP2/TT-)

Reserved in a 2-wide spot behind mid-division, kept battling in the straight but couldn't get closer to leaders.

7FANTASTIC EIGHT  U Rispoli  (TT)

Up with pace early, eased to sit behind leaders 900M, lacked the turn of foot when driven out top of straight, just battled away final 200M. (Lame LF leg.)

8BLOCKER DEE  K Teetan

Steadied early stages to obtain cover, settled last 7Ls off the pace along the rail, boxed on without threatening.

9WAH MAY FRIEND  H T Mo  (TT)

Dropped back to near the rear, no closer than 3-wide throughout, ran on only fairly down outside, never a chance. (Jockey : saddle shifted on jumping causing inconvenience early stages.)

10SUPER LIFELINE  K C Leung  (B)

Caught wide no cover from draw 12, 4Ls off the pace in midfield, found no extra in the straight.

11SEA JADE  T Berry  (B)

Sent forward and pressed leader on the outside, driven 300M to hold position, weakened rapidly 150M.

12FABULOUS ONE  N Rawiller  (XB/TT)

Vied for lead, set good pace to straight, found nothing when asked, dropped away tamely.
