Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | C W Wong | SR | 4-back the rails when 5Ls from the lead at 1000 M, edged out 2-wide before home turn and finished well to poke head in front close home. |
2 | 7 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | G Mosse | -- | Mostly 10th and between 5Ls and 6Ls from the speed through to straight, hanging in at 250 M when unbalanced, closed off strongly and only just failed. |
3 | 4 | AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) | B Prebble | B | Switched inside from widest gate, one-from rear 8Ls off pace, peeled out 6-wide (widest of all) turning in, ran on strongly, only just came up short. |
4 | 10 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | F Coetzee | B | Handy position 2-wide and 3Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, remained in front rank, led just inside the 200 M, tipped out of the money inside final 50 M. |
5 | 9 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | Z Purton | B | 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls from the pace at the 600 M, a little closer into straight, had his chance to place, couldn't seal the deal inside final 100 M. |
6 | 8 | DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) | K T Yeung | SR | Worked hard on the speed without cover initially, held 2nd out 2-wide from 900 M to home turn, steadily dropped out of the picture in the straight. |
7 | 2 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | D Whyte | -- | Box-seated on the fence in 3rd about 2Ls from the speed until the straight, lacked a telling response in the straight and no obvious excuse as to why. |
8 | 11 | KEY WINNER (CG157) | K L Chui | B/TT | Worse than midfield about 5Ls off early pace, improved but wider (5-wide) into home straight, failed to sustain the bid in the straight. |
9 | 1 | SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) | C K Tong | B | Slow to muster pace, 3-back along the rails about 4Ls from the pace in middle stages and same at halfway, failed to quicken up and tame finish. |
10 | 5 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | W M Lai | B | In front rank until home straight when 1L to the good but soon headed and fizzled out rapidly. |
11 | 12 | KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) | S K Sit | B | Slow to muster pace in rear, 8Ls last at halfway, never close to landing a blow. |
12 | 3 | NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) | P H Lo | -- | 5-back on the rails towards rear, about 6Ls behind the leader in middle stages, never on terms with principals and remained in rear. |
