Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) | G Mosse | -- | Wasn't the best to begin then drifted back in the early stages to settle towards the rear. Commenced to improve and worked towards the centre of the track by the 300 M. Let down nicely to finish over the top of its rivals. |
2 | 2 | BONDI LAD (CK121) | D Beadman | H1 | Secured a nice run on the back of the speed, worked into the clear and after the 300 M accelerated nicely under the whip. Looked all over the winner until claimed in the shadows of the post. |
3 | 7 | HAPPY REUNION (CK163) | H W Lai | SR1/TT1 | Was in touch with the leader after mustering good speed despite being slow to begin. Fought on well over the final stages to finish close to the principals. |
4 | 3 | BUSHWHACKER (CK153) | B Prebble | CP1 | Showed good gate speed to land well in front, then soon after headed towards the outside rail and settled about 3Ls in front. Battled on well in the run to the wire. |
5 | 1 | HOT PEPPER (CJ236) | M Chadwick | B1/TT- | Parked midfield towards the outside fence. Was a little flat footed when the tempo went up a notch after the 250 M, but kept on soundly. |
6 | 12 | CHAIN WIN (CJ315) | Z Purton | H1 | Was ridden quietly to settle behind midfield, however was inclined to get its head up in the early stages. Made some minor late headway. |
7 | 10 | WING MASTER (CK258) | K C Leung | TT1 | Showed some early speed to camp on the pace. Was a beaten horse after the 400 M. |
8 | 9 | PLOT RATIO (CK044) | B Doyle | SR1 | Raced well off the outside fence in the first 3. Paddled to the post. |
9 | 8 | KEEP GOING (CJ244) | S K Sit | SR | Travelled behind the speed, but was under pressure at the 400 M, failed to respond. |
10 | 5 | GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) | Y T Cheng | -- | Raced towards the outside rail but never looked to be travelling well and over the concluding stages gave ground. |
11 | 4 | FABULOUS START (CK151) | W M Lai | -- | Travelled in a midfield position, not likely. |
12 | 11 | TERTIARY CHAMPION (CJ007) | K L Chui | B1 | Began awkwardly, tailed the field and never got into the race always well back. (Abnormal breathy.) |
