Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | VISORHILL (CB254) | W C Marwing | -- | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace from 1000 M to home straight, led passing 200 M marker, ran on strongly. |
2 | 2 | MERIDIAN STAR (BV177) | G Mosse | SR | 2-wide and 9Ls off pace when one from rear 1400 M out, same distance adrift but 3-wide into stretch, switched off heels at 300 M, 6Ls down at 200 M, ran on strongly to take 2nd on line. |
3 | 13 | GOLCONDA (CA111) | C K Tong | B | Very quickly away and crossed to fence to lead by 2Ls 1200 M out, held this advantage until home straight, grabbed by winner at 200 M, lost out on runners-up berth final strides. |
4 | 3 | SMART WINNER (CA019) | G Schofield | SR | Settled in 4th or 5th place about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace from back to home straight, 3Ls down in 3rd place at 200 M, one-paced final stages. |
5 | 12 | DARWIN (CA068) | C Williams | -- | 2-wide and 4Ls off speed in 4th at 800 M, same distance off pace off final bend, stayed on dourly to be nearest at the finish. |
6 | 4 | THANK HEAVENS (BT224) | A Marcus | TT | 6Ls off pace and 2-wide in 8th at 1000 M, similarly placed when 3-wide into home straight, never a threat but made some late ground anyway. |
7 | 8 | TRIPLE EXPRESSO (BS141) | K T Yeung | B | Checked exiting gates, 2-wide and 5Ls off speed in 7th at 1000 M, 2-wide into straight in midfield, no impression. |
8 | 7 | MULTIWINNING (CC083) | R Fradd | -- | Awkwardly away, in rear on fence 11Ls off pace 1000 M out, still 10Ls down on straightening, never able to challenge. |
9 | 6 | FERRULE (CA157) | D Whyte | -- | On fence 6Ls off pace in 9th 1000 M out, never looked like being better than midfield at any stage. |
10 | 11 | FANTASY (CB187) | S K Sit | -- | Caught 3 and 4-wide without cover down back straight when about 4Ls off pace in midfield, niggled along out 3-wide at the 800 M, 3-wide into home straight, never looked like getting involved. |
11 | 1 | DR MORE (BV164) | S Dye | -- | 2-wide and 8Ls off pace in 11th place at 1000 M, 5-wide into home straight when still 8Ls down, beaten 200 M out. |
12 | 14 | SNOWSTORM (CB255) | M W Leung | B | Slowly away and checked at start, on fence 9Ls in 12th place 1000 M out, under pressure and outpaced entering straight, never a factor. |
13 | 5 | PRIME WITNESS (BV178) | D Dunn | -- | Couldn't lead as he usually does, settled 3-wide early and 3Ls off pace at 1200 M, 2-wide and 2Ls down from 1000 M to home turn, soon dropped right out. |
14 | 9 | HAPPY MOMENTUM (BV264) | W M Lai | -- | 2-wide and 7Ls off pace in 10th at 1000 M, never a factor, eased down final 100 M. |
