Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) | G Cheyne | B/TT | Sent on from widest gate to flank pacesetter in 2nd through to final furlong, clawed his way to the front inside final 50 M, gamely. |
2 | 7 | MY WHISKY (CK071) | Y T Cheng | TT1 | Soon led on the fence, no more than half a length clear from 1000 M to final 200 M, overhauled by the winner inside final 50 M. |
3 | 5 | SKY WALKER (CJ319) | B Doyle | -- | Soft trail on the leader's back on rails in 3rd or 4th before straightening for home, never likely to challenge quinella pair and all out to get 3rd. |
4 | 11 | KEEP ME (CJ079) | H W Lai | B | Nicely placed in 'one-out-one-back' spot in 5th or so and 2Ls until last bend, bumped 350 M out, had his chance to get 3rd, subsequent objection dismissed. |
5 | 13 | MAGNANIMOUS (CK111) | W C Marwing | CP-/H1 | Raced 6th out 3-wide but with cover about 3Ls from pace at halfway, one-paced and unthreatening to the principals in the straight. |
6 | 9 | SUPER (CD036) | Z Purton | SR/XB | 3-back the rails in midfield about 4Ls or so from the speed through to the last turn, never likely to draw a great deal closer. |
7 | 2 | KING FAY FAY (CH089) | J Lloyd | -- | Quietly ridden one from rear and 6Ls off speed at the 1000 M, much the same turning for home, ran on past a few spent forces to wind up. |
8 | 6 | GREEN GLORY (CJ177) | K C Leung | V/TT | Checked early back to about 6Ls off pace on the fence, same margin back and rearward off last bend, recovered only very minor late ground. |
9 | 1 | MINGS' HERO (CJ011) | B Prebble | SR | Checked at the 1200 M and never any better than midfield, pressured and 7Ls adrift off last turn, never on terms. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
10 | 4 | WINBO (CJ085) | W M Lai | -- | Always worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the pace, widest of all spinning for home, didn't offer much in the wrap-up. |
11 | 3 | WONDERFUL GAINS (CK050) | D Whyte | B- | Midfield about 3Ls off speed down the back, lost his position on the circle and very weak in the home straight. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
12 | 12 | SUPREME DRAGON (CH161) | J Winks | B/H1 | 2-wide around midfield 3Ls from initial tempo, further back and outpaced at top of home straight, no impression. |
13 | 14 | POTPOURRI (CK142) | M Chadwick | B/TT | 3-wide no cover for the duration, close-up in 3rd at halfway, began to fall out of touch on the circle, left further behind in the straight. |
14 | 10 | AMERICAN GLORY (CK209) | O Doleuze | TT1 | Slowest away, always detached at the tail of the field at least 8Ls from the speed, hard to enthuse about. |
