Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | SEA PRINCE (CJ245) | D Beadman | TT | Slowly away and 4-back the rails about 6Ls behind early speed, 3Ls back off final turn and led at the 200 M, asserted inside final 100 M. |
2 | 9 | SEVENS HEAVEN (CE175) | K T Yeung | CP/XB/TT | 3-back on fence 5Ls back in midfield at halfway, closer turning in and upsides winner at 200 M, run peaked, well clear of 3rd home. |
3 | 11 | ROYAL DOMAIN (CH287) | J Winks | -- | One from rear 9Ls off pace at the 800 M and not much closer on straightening, stayed on through pedestrian rivals to nick an unlikely, remote 3rd. |
4 | 8 | CONQUEROR (CE270) | S K Sit | V | Raced in 4th on the rails about 3Ls off pace at 1000 M, still close enough in 3rd entering the home straight, had every chance to place, only got 4th. |
5 | 5 | COOL CAT (CH330) | K C Leung | B | A neck clear on fence initially, 2Ls to the good from the 800 M to final turn, headed by quinella pair 300 M out and rapidly slipped out of contention. |
6 | 14 | WADADELIGHT (CC340) | M W Leung | B | Rearward at least 7Ls from the speed down the back, marginally closer turning for home, one-paced to conclude. |
7 | 12 | LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) | Y T Cheng | TT | Trapped 3 and 4-wide no cover in midfield about 5Ls off pace until before home turn, tired in the straight after the tough trip. |
8 | 4 | WONDERFUL GAINS (CK050) | D Whyte | B1 | Never any better than midfield, struggling turning for home and one-paced to finish off, very flat run for one so fancied. |
9 | 10 | SABINA (CK169) | Z Purton | -- | Midfield or better 4Ls or 5Ls down through to final section, very one-paced and, as such, no chance of taking advantage. |
10 | 3 | SICHUAN HERO (CJ044) | J Lloyd | P1/H1 | Last between 7Ls and 9Ls from the front through to home bend, held up a little on inside around the 200 M but of little consequence overall. |
11 | 1 | WIN-A-LOT (CJ124) | W C Marwing | V | 6Ls back in 8th or so from back straight to home straight, found nothing under pressure. |
12 | 13 | MATSUKAZE (CK150) | H W Lai | B | Over-raced when a neck down in 2nd initially, 1L off in 2nd at the 800 M and 2Ls down off last turn, very one-paced to wrap up. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
13 | 2 | GREAT SUPREME (CJ027) | B Prebble | -- | Worse than midfield and very wide throughout sometimes without cover, never got into it. |
14 | 7 | LUFENG FORTUNE (CJ140) | M Du Plessis | B | 3Ls back in 3rd at the 1000 M, began to lose this proximity before the home straight, eased out of the race. (Bled.) |
