Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | CRUSH ON YOU (CH065) | B Prebble | B | Slow to start, 4-back on fence in midfield at halfway, 4Ls back on straightening, benefited from a strong ride to get lead final strides. |
2 | 12 | PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) | C W Wong | -- | Led by 1L on fence from 1000 M to home turn, joined about 100 M out and tipped out by the winner on the line. |
3 | 7 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | H W Lai | SR/CP | In 2nd on fence at 1200 M, still 1L back in 2nd making home turn, joined PERFECT ATHLETE in front at 100 M, missed quinella final strides. |
4 | 1 | GLOBE RIVER (CD228) | C K Tong | V/TT | In 3rd no worse than 3Ls from the front until final bend, had every chance to at least place but was too one-paced. |
5 | 8 | SILVER WRAITH (CE178) | C Soumillon | B | 2-wide in midfield about 5Ls from the speed until final turn, stayed on at the same pace. |
6 | 11 | CROWNED GEM (CE056) | K T Yeung | B/TT | 3-back on fence about 4Ls from the front in 5th at 1000 M, could not take advantage of his nice position in the straight. |
7 | 5 | VITAL PATROL (CC335) | D Beadman | TT | Towards rear about 6Ls or 7Ls from the speed early on, head up at 800 M, under pressure on straightening, made some minor late ground. |
8 | 4 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | K L Chui | B1/TT | Caught 3-wide no cover about 4Ls from the early pace, without cover and midfield turning for home, one-paced. |
9 | 9 | SUPER (CD036) | Y T Cheng | SR/XB/TT | Towards rear about 6Ls from the speed out 2-wide until final bend, posed no danger. |
10 | 13 | AMBITION (CC079) | S Dye | B/TT | Slowly away, about 7Ls back in rear until home turn, never likely to make much headway. |
11 | 3 | FAST WINNER (CG140) | G Mosse | H | Caught 4-wide no cover down the back straight when about 10th and 5Ls from the pace, never got much closer. |
12 | 6 | FILEBO (CE214) | Z Purton | -- | Keen at 1000 M when 3Ls back in midfield, about 4Ls back turning for home, very weak thereafter. |
13 | 10 | GLOBAL WAY (CG158) | D Whyte | B/TT | 4-with cover in rear down the back when 6Ls from the front, stayed there. |
14 | 14 | STRAIGHT VICTORY (CE328) | S K Sit | CP/TT | Niggled along about 8Ls last early on, never passed a rival. |
