Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | PLEASANT JOURNEY (CC266) | W M Lai | B-/V1/TT | Head up at 1200 M when 5Ls back in 8th and 2-wide, marginally closer but 4-wide off final bend, picked up nicely to lead 150 M out, stayed on. |
2 | 10 | JOY AND TREASURE (CD251) | G Mosse | V/TT | Slow break, 3-back on fence in 7th when 4Ls off speed at 1100 M, tight for room from 600 M to homestretch when 3Ls off in 6th, gave chase fairly but never likely to catch winner. |
3 | 11 | WIN DANCER (CC357) | F Coetzee | TT | Always on the pace, a neck down in 2nd out 2-wide at 1200 M, under pressure when 1L down in 2nd at final bend and same at 200 M, failed to quicken. |
4 | 5 | SMARTY (CE036) | H W Lai | TT | Awkward break, switched from wide gate to fence, 6Ls back in 9th at 1200 M, 5Ls back off home turn, ran past a few tired rivals to be nearest at finish. |
5 | 1 | SOARING ANGEL (CC360) | D Whyte | B | Led on fence by a neck at 1200 M, about 1L clear from 1000 M to the 200 M when treading water, weakened quickly. |
6 | 7 | WE'RE BUDDIES (CC142) | S Dye | B/SR | 2-wide and 3Ls off pace in 5th at 1100 M, hard ridden to lie up 700 M out and tended to hang in on circle, still 3Ls back in 5th on straightening, plugged on at home. |
7 | 3 | HONG KONG GEM (CE114) | Y T Cheng | -- | At least 6Ls or 7Ls last on fence through to home straight, made very minor late ground. |
8 | 6 | ATHLETIC GOLD (CC241) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Ideally placed on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th from 1200 M to home straight, all out to improve from similar spot at 200 M, very weak inside final 200 M. |
9 | 8 | MILLENNIUM SUPREME (BV228) | K T Yeung | CP/TT | 3-wide with cover in 10th when 6Ls off speed at 1100 M, not much better off taking final bend, no impression. |
10 | 4 | RISING WIN (CC089) | C Brown | SR2/V2 | Always about one from rear about 5Ls or 6Ls off the speed and 2-wide, never remotely dangerous. |
11 | 9 | JUST VICTORY (CB216) | C K Tong | SR | 3-wide no cover disputing lead at 1200 M, 2Ls down in 3rd out wide at 800 M, struggling to hold this position off home turn, dropped out rapidly. |
12 | 2 | ACCELERATION (CD400) | B Prebble | -- | 3-wide with cover when 3Ls behind lead in 6th at 1100 M, under pressure to maintain position at 600 M and slipping back on the turn for home, capitulated. |
