Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | QUICK TOUCH (CJ196) | Y T Cheng | -- | 3-wide with cover around midfield and 3Ls or 4Ls behind pace until home straight, quickened up well down centre of track to lead 50 M out, readily. (Lame next day.) |
2 | 2 | WEI HAI INVINCIBLE (CH258) | K T Yeung | SR/TT | Box-seated in 2nd or 3rd just 1L or so behind the speed until home straight, led 300 M out, grabbed by winner 50 M out and just held 2nd. |
3 | 1 | VIKING TOR (CE207) | M W Leung | CP | No early pace, 6Ls behind in 10th at 1000 M, edged closer turning in when briefly without clear running, stayed on well, just missed 2nd. |
4 | 9 | MANY GAINS (CJ051) | D Whyte | -- | 1L back in 3rd at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 3rd off last bend, given every chance to at least place but lacked the acceleration. |
5 | 6 | DUMBARTON ROCK (CJ228) | F Coetzee | TT | In 5th between 3Ls and 4Ls from the speed out 2-wide through to home straight, under pressure turning in, one-paced when it mattered. |
6 | 3 | BULLISH WIN (CH197) | K L Chui | TT | On fence 7Ls off pace in 11th at 1000 M when ridden along and 6Ls down into home straight, one-paced in the finish. |
7 | 5 | ENCHANTED (CE065) | O Doleuze | TT | 5Ls off pace in midfield out 2-wide at 1000 M and similarly placed into final stretch, never likely to get much closer. |
8 | 12 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | C K Tong | -- | No early pace, 3-wide with cover about 6Ls behind early pace, 11th turning for home, made some minor late ground without threatening principals. |
9 | 4 | MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) | D Beadman | B | Slowly away, on fence 4Ls behind speed at 1000 M, 2Ls back in 4th at top of straight, 1L back in 3rd at 200 M but his run soon peaked. |
10 | 14 | FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) | S K Sit | -- | Went back to 11Ls last from widest gate, still struggling in rear turning for home, offered very little. |
11 | 13 | CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) | H W Lai | TT | Led by 1L out 2-wide at 1000 M, crossed to fence 800 M and still 1L clear off last turn, headed 300 M out and yielded ground. |
12 | 10 | SUPER BABY (CH227) | M Du Plessis | B1/TT | Slowly away, 8Ls back in 12th at the 1000 M and still well back and widest (5-wide) into last turn, never likely to play a significant role. |
13 | 7 | LUMINOUS (CE300) | W M Lai | -- | Caught 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls back in 4th at halfway and further behind entering home straight, weakened final 200 M. |
14 | 11 | QUEST FOR LOVE (CE242) | G Boss | B | Went back from wide gate, 9Ls off pace when one from rear at 800 M, in 10th about 5Ls behind off last bend, closer at 200 M but no extra late on. |
