1 Manulmperial (C L Cheung) -Shortly after the start brushed with 6 Star Of City Gold. In the home straight was unable to establish clear running until near the 250 metres.
2 Circuit Miles (L Corrales) -After taking submissions from Trainer N Moore prior to the race, the Stewards acceded to his request to allow 2 Circuit Miles to carry pacifiers. Near the 1500 metres blundered in the going. Leaving the 1400 metres was hampered and taken wider on the track by 9 Fortune Lady which after making the crossing awkwardly and being checked away from the heels of 3 City Lucky Star, shifted out. Leaving the 1000 metres was hampered and taken wider on the track by 9 Fortune Lady which shifted out after being steadied when awkwardly placed on the heels of 3 City Lucky Star. Near the 700 metres was bumped by 3 City Lucky Star which shifted out slightly when laying out away from 5 Yiucheung Champion which in turn shifted out slightly. Rider reported that after settling in a rearward position in the early stages and leaving the 1400 metres the pace of the race slowed and he was forced wider on the track by 9 Fortune Lady which shifted out at the stage. He added that at that point on he was obliged to race three wide and near the 1000 metres was again taken wider on the track by 9 Fortune Lady which shifted out. He further added that he then attempted to improve his position wider on the track, however 2 Circuit Miles was one paced and near the 700 metres was bumped by 3 City Lucky Star which had shifted out. He stated at the 600 metres he was trailing 7 Still Be Friends, however that runner began to yield ground quickly and as his mount was not traveling well enough to improve around that horse, he elected to shift back in to save ground. He further stated that once clear, 2 Circuit Miles never responded to his riding and proved disappointing. A post race swab was taken for analysis. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormality. Trainer N Moore was informed that he would be required to present 2 Circuit Miles to the Veterinary Hospital for a thorough veterinary examination on Sunday, 23 January 2022.
