Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | SURE JOY (CE299) | C W Wong | B/TT | Always in firing line, disputing lead at halfway, skipped over 2Ls clear with 200 M to go, ridden out. |
2 | 9 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | W M Lai | B | Settled about 3Ls back in midfield until halfway, headway to go 2Ls back in 2nd passing 200 M pole, never likely to reel in winner. |
3 | 11 | FLORAL FOKANZA (CG136) | F Coetzee | CP-/B1/TT | Always prominent and no worse than 2Ls back in 3rd until the 400 M, ran on for pressure close home for a place, finished lame. |
4 | 8 | INSIDER (CG112) | N Ryan | -- | Slow to begin, over 2Ls back in 5th or so through early stages, soon driven along to keep tabs with principals and stayed on at same pace. |
5 | 5 | THUNDER FLASH (CG270) | B Prebble | -- | Best away and soon crossed to stand's rail, steadied once headed at 800 M, close enough until the 300 M but always looked held in final stages despite not having the greatest deal of room. |
6 | 2 | TOFFEE (CE236) | C K Tong | TT | Awkward break with rider losing an iron for about 100 M, about 7Ls behind in rear at halfway on far side, made some nice late ground, nearest at finish. |
7 | 7 | EXPLORATION (CE322) | O Doleuze | CO- | Always niggled in about 8th place and 4Ls off speed until the 400 M, never threatened to get much closer. |
8 | 10 | TREASURE PLANET (CG117) | M Nunes | SR/H1/TT | Away well and crossed to lead by stand's rail by 1L at 800 M, headed over 400 M out and petered out inside final 200 M. |
9 | 12 | CASH BABY (CD220) | M W Leung | PC/H | Always struggling in rear at least 7Ls off the speed, made some very minor late ground but never really on terms. |
10 | 1 | PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) | D Whyte | -- | Worse than midfield leading far side bunch about 5Ls behind the pace through first half, never dangerous. |
11 | 6 | WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) | K T Yeung | B | Towards rear on the far side and always toiling, weakened further in final stages. |
12 | 4 | ALWAYS HAPPY (CE085) | Y T Cheng | V-/B1 | Always off the bit and near the rear on far side of track, weakened further inside final 300 M. |
