Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | MY CHOICE (CC283) | A Marcus | SR | Settled 2-wide about 5Ls off pace in midfield down back straight, took closer order turning for home, quickened up well to lead at the 200 M, readily. |
2 | 6 | SMART CHAMPION (CC324) | G Schofield | -- | Caught 4-wide without cover early on, 3-wide without cover from 800 M when 2Ls down in 3rd, half a length down at top of home straight, disputing lead at the 200 M, winner too strong. |
3 | 2 | SCINTILLATION (CC228) | W C Marwing | -- | Very keen early on out 2-wide disputing lead, still over-racing 800 M out, led at top of home straight, headed over 200 M out, just hung on for 3rd place. |
4 | 9 | CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) | D Whyte | SR | Slowly away, niggled along 800 M out to hold 5th place 2-wide and 3Ls off pace, closer but ridden along entering straight, soon outpaced but was staying on well again nearer the line. |
5 | 12 | SUNNY DESERT (CB346) | H K Yim | B | About 3Ls off pace in 6th down backstretch when 3-wide with cover, 2Ls down on straightening, definite place chance 200 M out when just 1L down, no extra. |
6 | 10 | GREAT STAR (CB122) | C Williams | SR-/TT | Held up on fence about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace in about 9th place through to the 600 M marker, 4Ls down entering home straight, ran on only fairly, never threatened. |
7 | 5 | PLENTY OF LUCK (CA308) | S K Sit | -- | Raced 3-wide outside winner about 5Ls off pace in midfield down the back, a little closer when 3-wide into home straight, rather one-paced thereafter. |
8 | 3 | SHINING GEM (CA180) | W Woods | -- | Always well placed on fence 2Ls off the speed in 4th through to the home straight, failed to pick up and was beaten 200 M out. |
9 | 13 | LUCKY VICTORIES (BT163) | M W Leung | B | Crowded at the jump, 2-wide in rear bunch and at least 10Ls off pace down back straight, 3-wide off the home turn, never a threat. |
10 | 14 | TUSITALA (CC052) | W Smith | V | Slowly away, 3-wide with cover in rear when about 10Ls off pace for first half of race, 4-wide (widest of all) into home straight, made some late headway past a few beaten rivals. |
11 | 11 | PRECIOUS MOMENTS (CC264) | J Quinn | -- | Settled towards rear about 8Ls off the pace through to the 600 M marker, closer off home turn, soon well outpaced, never remotely dangerous. |
12 | 8 | MYSTIC SPIRITS (CC278) | F Coetzee | B | Driven along to lead narrowly from the jump on fence, never clear by more than 1L, headed off top of home turn, weakened right out. |
13 | 7 | MR PRESIDENT (CA178) | K C Tsang | SR | Always worse than midfield, 2-wide and at least 5Ls off the pace, bit part player. |
14 | 1 | THE GOV (CB225) | P H Lo | B | Crowded at the start, held up towards rear, last by at least 8Ls off home turn, never a factor. |
