Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | CYPRESS HILL (CE061) | G Mosse | -- | Mostly 3-wide with cover around midfield about 6Ls from front until 600 M, 4Ls down in 7th taking home turn, picked up well to lead while bumping runner-up 150 M out, scraped in. |
2 | 6 | VINCERE (CE324) | O Doleuze | B | Never travelled well despite box-seat run throughout on fence 2Ls back in 3rd, always under pressure but still hit the front 200 M out, bumped when headed by winner 150 M out, kept on. |
3 | 11 | SILVERBIRD (CB335) | Y T Cheng | CP/TT | Crossed from wide gate to be 4-back on fence in 8th about 6Ls from the lead, 5Ls back in 8th entering stretch, stayed on fairly well late for a place. |
4 | 3 | PROPELLOR (CE263) | W M Lai | V | Tardy break, always 3-back on fence about 4Ls off speed in 5th or so through to home straight, challenging and 1L down 200 M out with every hope to at least place, one-paced final stages. |
5 | 7 | FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) | A Delpech | B | Always 3-wide no cover, 3Ls back in 5th at 1100 M, 3Ls down in 4th into home straight, kept on quite well despite the tough trip, fairly commendable effort. |
6 | 1 | ROCKET WIN (CE249) | H W Lai | SR-/CP2/TT- | Shoved out very deep (5-wide) at 1300 M and dragged back to last 8Ls off pace 1100 M out, 4-wide (widest) turning for home when 6Ls down in 9th, ran on, never nearer. |
7 | 9 | CHALLENGER (CE138) | M Odendaal | B | Crowded early on, 7Ls back in 10th when 2-wide at 1000 M, about 8Ls back in rear off home turn, made up some fair late ground without troubling principals. |
8 | 10 | SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) | C W Wong | TT | 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th and 3Ls off speed at 1000 M, under pressure to lie up when circling for home, rather one-paced in the finish. |
9 | 2 | GLORIOUS RHYTHM (CC163) | F Coetzee | V | Pressed on to sit 1L off leader out 2-wide at 1100 M, moved upsides turning for home and clear lead briefly 300 M out, headed over 200 M out and dropped out tamely. |
10 | 12 | CENAMIRA (CD129) | K W Tsui | B | Fairly well placed 2-wide and 5Ls back in mid-division at 1000 M, began to lose position from 600 M to 400 M and petered out quite feebly in the homestretch. |
11 | 4 | SINOSPIEL (CG003) | K L Chui | B1 | Awkward break losing ground, shared last place 8Ls off pace throughout, never competitive. |
12 | 8 | NAPA (CE271) | N Ryan | -- | Best away and soon by 1L on the fence, joined at top of home straight and folded right out once headed at top of home straight, finished lame. |
