Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | SILVER WRAITH (CE178) | C Soumillon | B | Slow to begin, 3-back on fence about 4Ls back in midfield at halfway, 2Ls down in 5th when produced into the clear at home turn, picked up nicely to lead 150 M out and driven clear. |
2 | 1 | NEW COMMAND (CG135) | C W Wong | B | Soon led on fence, never clear by much more than a neck until home turn, headed by winner 150 M out but did just enough to hang onto quinella spot. |
3 | 3 | CENAMIRA (CD129) | D Whyte | B/TT1 | About 6Ls back in 8th at the 800 M, 3-wide turning for home when 4Ls down in midfield, every chance when 1L down at 200 M, finished off only fairly but enough for a place. |
4 | 2 | CHOSEN ONE (CD347) | E Saint-Martin | CP/TT | 4-back the fence about 6Ls off speed in 9th at the 800 M, edging closer when checked turning for home, over 2Ls back in 4th at the 200 M and unlucky not to place, failed in protest against the winner. |
4 | 7 | FAIRPLAY (CC258) | K T Yeung | TT | Best away but caught 3-wide no cover through first half, got in 2-wide with cover on circle and 2Ls down in 4th at final turn, had his chance to place but no extra in closing stages. |
6 | 13 | FRIENDS FOREVER (CD245) | S K Sit | SR/V | Had the box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th until the 600 M, steadied a little turning for home, had every chance to place but one-paced inside final 200 M. |
7 | 9 | STAR PRODIGY (CD294) | O Doleuze | TT | No early speed and settled about 9Ls back in rear at the 1000 M, making some headway when 4-wide off final bend, finished off at the same pace down the centre. |
8 | 5 | AMBITION (CC079) | G Mosse | B/TT | Towards rear about 7Ls off pace early on, progress to go 3Ls back in mid-division when turning for home, half a length down with place prospects at the 200 M but failed to sustain the run. |
9 | 11 | FLORAL ARTS (CE197) | M Nunes | XB | 4Ls back in 5th early on, steadied 500 M out when struggling to lie up with the speed, always held through concluding stages. |
10 | 14 | PAY-DAY (CD182) | K L Chui | SR/TT | Away well and tracked leader out 2-wide and a neck or so off the pace in 2nd until entering the straight, still right there at the 200 M but weakened thereafter. |
11 | 12 | SUPER DRAGON (CE245) | A Delpech | V | Crowded at start, 8Ls off pace in rear bunch early on, marginally closer off home turn but never threatened principals. |
12 | 8 | SHANGHAI DELIGHT (CC352) | H K Yim | B | Midfield with cover about 5Ls off the pace at the 800 M, ridden along to take closer order on straightening but failed to quicken and well held inside final 200 M. |
13 | 4 | FIGHT BACK (CE058) | H W Lai | B/TT | Always in rear bunch, about 10Ls behind at the 1000 M and still 7Ls behind taking final bend, never dangerous. |
14 | 10 | SMARTY (CE036) | P H Lo | XB/TT | Slowly away, about 10Ls off pace in rear early on, still struggling taking final bend in rear, never got into it. |
