Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | B Prebble | -- | On fence 6Ls off pace in 10th at the 1000 M, similarly unpromising position off final bend, weaved his way through the field to lead inside final strides. |
2 | 7 | SAMBUOYANT (CE172) | Y T Cheng | B | A neck off pace in 2nd out 2-wide at 1200 M, marginal lead at the 200 M but foiled by winner inside final strides. |
3 | 12 | PRIMIATA (CG226) | D Whyte | B/TT | Darted inside from widest gate to race 5Ls back in 8th at the 1200 M, same turning for home, produced a strong run inside final 200 M, only just missed. |
4 | 4 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | D Nikolic | CP | Soon led on fence, clear by about a neck until the home turn, barely headed about 200 M out, stuck on late at the same pace and just missed a place. |
5 | 9 | GLORIOUS RHYTHM (CC163) | F Coetzee | V | Had the run of the race on fence about 2Ls off speed in 3rd until the home turn, failed to quicken up sufficiently. |
6 | 3 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | G Mosse | B/XB | Blew the start and forced to go 4-back on fence about 5Ls off speed in 7th at the 1200 M, no better off on straightening, steadied inside final 50 M but was held in any case. |
7 | 8 | WAIT FOR ME (CE332) | M Nunes | -- | 3-wide no cover in 9th place about 5Ls off speed at 1000 M, in 8th off home turn when 5-wide (widest of all), ran on fairly, never nearer. |
8 | 2 | SOLDIER ON (CD230) | H W Lai | B | 3-back on fence about 4Ls behind lead in 6th at 1000 M, over 3Ls down in 5th off home turn, plugged on at just the one pace. |
9 | 5 | AWESOME DRAGON (CG210) | C W Wong | -- | Held the one-out-one-back position about 2Ls off pace out 2-wide in 4th until home turn, very one-paced in the stretch. |
10 | 11 | BRIGHT AND GAY (CE048) | M W Leung | B | Soon struggling in rear about 8Ls last, never on terms and a very poor effort. |
11 | 10 | VALUE CHOICE (CG213) | O Doleuze | B- | Awkward break, in 5th about 4Ls off speed out 2-wide at 1000 M, lost ground on the circle and 4-wide and over 4Ls down in 6th at final bend, petered out. |
12 | 6 | SUPER BALL (CD064) | S Dye | B | Never going well, without cover early on about 7Ls behind in 11th, struggling a long way out and eased down from top of home straight. |
