Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | ENTHUSED (CH303) | D Whyte | -- | Fair to begin, raced close to the pace, commenced running from 500 M, picked up speed gradually, finished the final stages with a powerful surge and won impressively. |
2 | 10 | SUPERIOR UNIT (CJ045) | K L Chui | CP/TT | Even jump, cruised down centre of track within a length behind the pace-setter, moved up to challenge from 400 M, battled on gamely before outrun by the eventual winner inside last 50 M. |
3 | 11 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | Y T Cheng | -- | Bounced out well, allowed to stride on, led the field at a quick tempo from a position 2 off the stand rails, attempted to make all but was overhauled just inside 100 M. |
4 | 5 | YELLOW DIAMOND (CD246) | C K Tong | B | A little awkward jump, held running on stand rails, travelled comfortably in a forward position just off the leader, responded well under pressure from 400 M, kept on gamely to finish a creditable 4th. |
5 | 12 | ALWAYS GIGGLE (CG086) | K T Yeung | B- | Quickly into stride, pressed on to maintain a better than midfield position, never far off the pace, held up at 300 M and switched inside for a run, finished off the race well. |
6 | 4 | ABLE PRINCE (CC348) | M Du Plessis | CP/TT | Average break from a low draw, kicked on to take up running on inside rails, soon racing clear of others, stayed on well before gradually weakened from 150 M. |
7 | 9 | PRIME SCORE (CG280) | B Prebble | B | Slightly slow out, settled near the rear towards centre of course about 2 to 3Ls behind leader, didn't have another gear and just held ground in run to line. |
8 | 1 | SCINTILLATION (CC228) | E Saint-Martin | XB/H | Reasonable jump from the inside draw, steadied when being shifted to middle of track, ended up further back than usual, made some late ground from 200 M. |
9 | 6 | DIM SUM (CH226) | D Beadman | CP | Began with them, crossed to race near the inside rails away from the main group, found little when asked and ran home one paced. |
10 | 3 | FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) | O Doleuze | -- | Away evenly, raced in a prominent position just off the pace, under pressure at 300 M, found nothing and dropped right out. |
11 | 7 | NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) | F Coetzee | TT | No speed from outset, raced at the rear about 3Ls from the leader with cover, unable to pick up when asked, dropped out in run to line. |
12 | 8 | SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) | H W Lai | CP | One of the first to jump, soon taken to a forward position close to the pace, slowed down at mid-point, did not respond to jockey's riding and was never competitive. |
