Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) | D Whyte | B2 | Led by a neck on the fence at 1000 M, going well when clear by 1L turning for home, always holding a decisive break from then on. |
2 | 6 | LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) | B Doyle | -- | Handy position in 'one-out-one-back' spot through to the 600 M, tight for room on straightening, clear 350 M out but couldn't get to the winner. |
3 | 3 | ENCOSTA DON (CH305) | B Prebble | -- | 3-back on fence in midfield at halfway and similar off last bend, stayed on fairly well along the inner for a place. |
4 | 8 | CONQUEROR (CE270) | S K Sit | V | Midfield with cover no worse than 3Ls or 4Ls from the pace before the home turn, had every chance to place but just scraped in for 4th. |
5 | 5 | CLASSIC REUNION (CH166) | D Beadman | B/SR | Around 10th and 5Ls from the early speed, crept a little closer taking last bend, made some nice late ground out wide and barely missed 4th. |
6 | 14 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | W M Lai | TT | Towards rear at least 4Ls or 5Ls from the pace down the back, without clear running off final curve, soon clear and one-paced on the run-in. |
7 | 4 | CASH MONEY (CH030) | C W Wong | H | Went back from widest gate, never travelling well in rear and 5Ls adrift swinging into the straight, never got to the principals. |
8 | 12 | GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) | C K Tong | -- | Rearward at least 4Ls or 5Ls from the speed until the straight, failed to make much of an impact in the final 400 M. |
9 | 11 | SAVUTE (CE326) | O Doleuze | V | Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls off pace on fence at 1000 M, in 2nd turning for home but lacked any acceleration when the tempo quickened. |
10 | 2 | GUAN DAO (CH211) | G Mosse | -- | 3-wide with cover around midfield in middle stages when 4Ls from the pace, 4-wide off home bend, very weak inside final 200 M. (Tactic questioned.) |
11 | 13 | MEDALLION (CG322) | H W Lai | B/TT | Over-raced for most of back straight when 4-wide no cover in rear, 5Ls last and 5-wide (widest of all) into the stretch, no impression. |
12 | 7 | GALLANT HUSSAR (CJ017) | M Du Plessis | -- | Disappointing run, keen at first then niggled along in midfield at halfway, pressured and 4Ls behind wheeling for home, soon beaten. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
13 | 9 | BREEZY WILL (CK010) | E Saint-Martin | TT | 3-wide no cover before slipping in 2-wide and half a length back in 2nd at 1000 M, still close-up at top of home straight but quickly dropped out. (Bled.) |
14 | 10 | QUICK MONEY (CJ246) | M W Leung | B | Performance deemed unacceptable, trapped 3-wide no cover when 1L back in 3rd at 800 M, hard pressed to lie up turning in, quickly left behind. |
