Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | SUNRISE (CK026) | B Prebble | H | Quietly handled in 12th at least 7Ls or 8Ls from the lead through to home straight, quickened up well out wide to lead 70 M out, had more in reserve. |
2 | 7 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | C Soumillon | B | 4-back the rails in 7th at halfway, 4Ls back in 6th turning in, hung out while quickening up to lead briefly 150 M out, no answer to winner's late surge. |
3 | 13 | FANTASTIC TIME (CH220) | S K Sit | SR/V | Slow to muster pace, 3-back on fence about 3Ls back at first, 2Ls back in 4th off last bend, briefly led 250 M out but couldn't sustain the run. |
4 | 9 | CHIEF WITNESS (CJ219) | M Chadwick | TT | Disputed early pace on fence, a neck clear entering home straight, headed about 250 M out and one-paced from then on. |
5 | 3 | OCEAN PRINCE (CK066) | W C Marwing | -- | Went back from wide gate, 3-wide with cover down the back, 7Ls off leaders in 8th or 9th off last turn, recovered a little late ground without threatening. |
6 | 5 | MIGHTY WINNER (CJ303) | D Beadman | CP1/TT | 5Ls or 6Ls back in mid-division until the 500 M, closer and with place prospects 300 M out, run peaked soon afterwards. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
7 | 1 | RELY ON ME (CE068) | K C Leung | B/TT | Pressed forward and about a neck back in 2nd until the home straight, lacked a turn of foot and weakened out final 200 M. |
8 | 12 | VICTORY MASCOT (CJ243) | C K Tong | TT | Taken back from wide gate, 9Ls last at the 1000 M, still well back off last bend, ran on past a few spent rivals in the straight. |
9 | 2 | EASY WIN (CJ288) | Y T Cheng | -- | 3-wide before taking up 'one-out-one-back' position about 2Ls off pace at 1000 M, 3Ls back in 5th and pressured to lie up off last bend, faded out steadily. (Mucus.) |
10 | 8 | BAJAN BELL (CG142) | D Whyte | B | Went back to a one-from-rear position at the 1000 M, always rearward and offered no threat whatsoever. |
11 | 11 | SAVUTE (CE326) | T H So | V | Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls from the pace until the home straight, couldn't live with the principals. |
12 | 6 | VISIONARIO (CJ095) | J Victoire | CP | Awkward break, worse than midfield throughout, 6Ls adrift at the 800 M and further back cornering for the line, yet another very tame performance. (Blood in trachea.) |
13 | 14 | JOY TRUMPS (CD242) | M W Leung | TT | On the rails near the tail throughout, 6Ls off speed at halfway and worse off taking last bend, no impression. |
14 | 4 | SHAXI BABY (CJ122) | M Du Plessis | -- | Unacceptable display, 3Ls back in 5th or 6th initially but sank through the field on the circle and eased when well beaten. |
