Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) | D Whyte | CP | Travelled well towards rear on the fence about 5Ls off the pace, good headway from top of stretch while stuck to fence, switched out to challenge 200 M out, led at 100 M, soon clear. |
2 | 6 | FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) | A Delpech | B | Settled worse than midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed, held up turning for home, stayed on well for 2nd place but had little hope with the winner. |
3 | 8 | A PLUS FIT (CD013) | S Dye | B | Couldn't muster early speed, always under pressure in or around midfield on fence about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed, over 2Ls down in 5th at the 200 M, one-paced but did enough to run 3rd. |
4 | 11 | X-SPEED (CC341) | C W Wong | B | 2-wide and a neck back in 2nd at 1400 M, disputed advantage from 800 M to home turn, kicked over 1L clear 200 M out, headed by winner at 100 M and missed out on a place final strides. |
5 | 7 | LORD CAIRNS (CE127) | B Prebble | -- | Within 2Ls off the lead but always caught about 4 and 5-wide without cover, 3-wide no cover in 5th or so at 800 M, over 1L down in 2nd with 200 M to race, weakened late after tough trip. |
6 | 9 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | K S Yu | -- | Always in the firing line in 4th or 5th and within 2Ls off the speed until the 200 M, one-paced in closing stages. |
7 | 12 | BIG WINNER (CD229) | K L Chui | B/TT | 2-wide and about 3Ls behind in 6th or so until home straight, failed to quicken up. |
8 | 2 | SOLAR POWER (CE047) | W C Marwing | B | Niggled along and worse than midfield about 4Ls off pace until the 600 M, one-paced in the finish and never dangerous. |
9 | 4 | CHERISHED (CB160) | F Coetzee | TT | Caught 4-wide but with cover for much of backstretch when about 6Ls off pace in 13th, not much closer turning for home, made no real headway. |
10 | 14 | GREAT FORTUNE (CE098) | S K Sit | B/TT | Very slow away losing about 3Ls on field, soon detached in rear, 8Ls last turning for home, plugged on past a few tired rivals. |
11 | 1 | CYPRESS HILL (CE061) | E Saint-Martin | CP1 | Wide but with cover about 4Ls off pace in 10th until being left 3-wide no cover from 800 M to home turn, found nothing under pressure, another poor effort. |
12 | 13 | SUNRISE LINING (CG030) | Y T Cheng | -- | Ideally placed on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1200 M to home straight entrance, petered out tamely, very disappointing. |
13 | 5 | DRAGON INN (CE327) | H K Yim | -- | 3Ls off pace in midfield and with cover until the 600 M, slipped further back taking final turn, very weak. |
14 | 3 | JADE DANCER (CE170) | M W Leung | -- | Best away and soon led by a neck, disputed lead from 1000 M to home turn, faded out sharply thereafter and eased down final 100 M. |
