Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | ALL OUR WAY (CE217) | G Mosse | -- | Good effort despite being 3-wide no cover from the 1000 M, regardless of the slow pace, 2Ls back out deep in 3rd or 4th until the homestretch, kept finding for pressure to lead final strides. |
2 | 12 | SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) | K L Chui | B/XB | Held 2nd out 2-wide about 1L off pace at 1000 M, a neck down in 2nd off home turn and led at 200 M, only caught inside final strides. |
3 | 10 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | W M Lai | V/XB | Crossed from widest gate to lead on fence at 1300 M by 1L, set very slow tempo and still clear by a neck off final turn, headed at 200 M and just hung on for a place. |
4 | 9 | FAST TRACK (CB375) | B Prebble | -- | Flew the start, handed up to hold box position 2Ls off pace on fence from 1300 M to home turn, in the right position to at least place but lacked acceleration. |
5 | 8 | CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) | D Whyte | -- | Mostly midfield, 3-wide with cover 3Ls back in 6th down backstretch, same turning for home, outsprinted by those in front once the tempo quickened. |
6 | 1 | KING HOGAN (CE257) | C W Wong | B | Keen at 1000 M behind the jogging pace when 3-wide with cover 4Ls off pace in midfield, similarly positioned taking final bend, kept on down centre of track without troubling principals. |
7 | 2 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | M Nunes | XB/B2 | Awkward break and raced too keenly behind slow pace at 1000 M when 5th about 3Ls off pace, still close up on straightening but always outpaced by those in front. |
8 | 5 | ALWAYS ZIETEN (CB090) | H W Lai | -- | Couldn't lead and soon 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in midfield, tempo of race and inability to lead compromised his chances. |
9 | 7 | MASTER ABLE (CD349) | K S Yu | B | Keen early on when 4-back on fence about 5Ls off pace, stuck in the same spot taking final bend and made no impression. |
10 | 11 | MOSHI MOSHI (CG255) | K T Yeung | TT | 6Ls back in 10th out 2-wide at 1000 M, under pressure to make some ground despite the slow pace at 500 M, never dangerous. |
11 | 6 | LIGHTNING SPEED (CG263) | O Doleuze | -- | Switched from wide gate to fence but soon over-raced behind slow tempo, always about 6Ls from the lead and never got into it. |
12 | 3 | SPOKESMAN (CD099) | A Delpech | -- | 8Ls off pace in rear at 1200 M, had little hope with the cantering tempo, never landed a blow. |
