Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | OSCAR PRINCE (CJ052) | O Doleuze | -- | Patiently handled towards rear about 5Ls or so from the speed, ran through the field to lead close home. |
2 | 9 | REDHILL COMMANDER (CH078) | Z Purton | TT | 3-back on fence about 4Ls or 5Ls from the front in midfield until home straight, finished well but bettered only by the winner in final strides. |
3 | 14 | ZERO GRAVITY (CH037) | K L Chui | TT | Crossed from wide gate to slip into 3rd about 2Ls off pace with cover at halfway, led 300 M out but grabbed by quinella pair inside final 50 M. |
4 | 11 | PALIO KING (CG073) | D Whyte | TT | Settled in 5th or so on fence about 2Ls or 3Ls off lead through to final turn, held up until 250 M out, lacked a decisive response once clear. |
5 | 12 | NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) | M L Yeung | V | Around 4th and 2Ls or 3Ls from the speed until straightening, every chance when 1L down in 3rd at 200 M but could not follow through. |
6 | 2 | FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) | K C Leung | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
7 | 1 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | C W Wong | -- | In 12th about 7Ls off the pace initially and 6Ls away swinging for home, made a little headway late but no great danger overall. |
8 | 13 | VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) | W M Lai | XB | 4-wide no cover and worse than midfield down back straight, 6Ls down turning for home, remained in latter half of the field. (Tactic questioned.) |
9 | 10 | DENDRANTHEMA LOVE (CD073) | P H Lo | B | In rear, about 8Ls last at halfway, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, retrieved some minor late ground. |
10 | 6 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | B Doyle | B | Bounded at start and slowest away, 7Ls back and one from rear making final bend, no impression. |
11 | 5 | MAGI JOY (CH056) | H W Lai | B | Disputed pace out 2-wide until taking up the lead turning for home, headed just over 200 M out and faded late. |
12 | 8 | FORTUNE GALLOP (CH191) | K T Yeung | B | Around mid-division and 5Ls from the front until final bend, always held by the majority. |
13 | 7 | ALL FOR ONE (CH180) | B Prebble | B1 | Travelled well enough in midfield about 4Ls from the pace at 1000 M, ridden along to stay in touch at top of home straight, very weak final 200 M. |
14 | 3 | MIRACULOUS (CE115) | C K Tong | -- | Disputed the lead on fence from the 1000 M, headed at top of home straight and petered out rapidly. (Abnormal breathing noise.) |
