Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | KEEN SOUL (CH092) | F Coetzee | B | Broke well, 2-wide position in 3rd or 4th about 2Ls behind leader early, 1L back in 2nd off last bend, hard ridden to lead 100 M out, little to spare. (Lame and distressed.) |
2 | 5 | MAGIC KING (CH182) | D Whyte | B/XB | Slowly away, 5Ls back in 8th or so initially and 4Ls back off last turn, made some good late ground along the inner to steal 2nd on the line. |
3 | 8 | PERFECT TREASURE (CH091) | M W Leung | B/TT | Box-seated in 3rd or 4th on fence through to home straight, took a while to wind up, strong in final 100 M and only just missed quinella. |
4 | 2 | JUST RIGHT (CH300) | C K Tong | SR | Best away and travelled nicely disputing the lead until the 600 M, 1L clear off last turn, headed by winner at 100 M and missed a place in last bound. |
5 | 12 | CHOICE AND CHANCE (CA381) | B Doyle | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
6 | 4 | CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) | K T Yeung | TT | Head up at the 600 M when about 4Ls back in 4th, closer turning in, had his chance to figure but failed to find another gear. |
7 | 3 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | W M Lai | B | Awkward break, worse than midfield about 5Ls from the lead until home straight, made some minor late ground without troubling principals. |
8 | 9 | NEW TRIUMPH (CG105) | S K Sit | -- | Lacked early pace and 6Ls last turning for home, ran on home evenly and never a contender. |
9 | 11 | WIKI WIKI (CD205) | Z Purton | -- | Lost ground at the start and soon 8Ls last, retrieved modest ground in the straight but never one to worry about. |
10 | 10 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | C W Wong | SR/CP | Never likely to respond to constant pressure nor closer than 4Ls from the lead at any stage, yielded further ground in the straight. |
11 | 6 | VICTORIOUS DRAGON (CJ009) | M Du Plessis | -- | Always wide and no better than midfield, weakened in home straight. (Bled.) |
12 | 7 | TREASURE PLANET (CG117) | H W Lai | XB/H | Disputed the lead until the 600 M, hung out very badly on the circle reducing rider to passenger status, unacceptable and to multiple trials. |
