Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 13 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | Y T Cheng | B | With cover in midfield about 4Ls from speed until home straight, tight for room until the 300 M, found enough to lead at the 50 M, driven out. |
2 | 5 | DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) | D Whyte | -- | In rear about 7Ls behind early pace, still rearward at home turn, quickened up well to hold every chance 100 M out, outpaced final stages. |
3 | 2 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | C W Wong | -- | 3-back on fence about 4Ls down in midfield at halfway, rushed along to be closer off last turn and led 200 M out, grabbed by quinella pair final 50 M. |
4 | 12 | PLEASURE PLEASURE (CD271) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Enjoyed the run of the race in 4th about 2Ls from the lead until the home straight, lacked the acceleration to capitalize on his easy passage. |
5 | 14 | WINNING CHAMP (CE233) | S K Sit | -- | Disputed early tempo on the rails, clear by 1L from 1000 M to home turn, headed at the furlong pole and one-paced in conclusion. |
6 | 7 | DIAGHILEV (CH241) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Slow to muster early zip, 5Ls back worse than midfield in middle stages, mediocre finish and posed little threat. |
7 | 8 | TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) | B Prebble | B/TT | 3-wide but with cover in 5th or 6th around 2Ls from the speed until final turn, on terms with every chance at 200 M, lacked the follow-through. |
8 | 4 | HEADINGLEY (CH264) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Pressed forward, 1L back in 3rd at the 1000 M but ridden along to remain in striking range turning in, fizzled out final furlong. |
9 | 3 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | G Boss | V/XB | 2-wide and 7Ls last at 1000 M, still last and hanging when 5-wide (widest of all) off home bend, always held. |
10 | 9 | TOP SPEED (CH019) | G Mosse | B/TT- | Close enough in mid-division but trapped 3 and 4-wide throughout, 3Ls down making last bend, steadily yielded ground. |
11 | 1 | FANTASTIC TIME (CH220) | C K Tong | V/SR1 | 4Ls off speed in 10th at 1000 M when 3-wide but with cover and similar taking final bend, made no impact. |
12 | 6 | ELEPHANT STAR (CH323) | W M Lai | CP1 | Slowest away, 6Ls back in 12th through initial stages, still in rear on straightening, tame finish. |
13 | 11 | ZERO GRAVITY (CH037) | K L Chui | TT | Crowded at start but recovered to race prominently, wide early but sent on to be 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 600 M, very weak in home straight. |
PU | 10 | GENERAL SPEEDEE (CG193) | H W Lai | TT | Midfield about 3Ls from the speed until home straight, looked held at the furlong pole and broke down very badly soon after. |
