Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | BIG KAHUNA (CG177) | B Prebble | PC-/B2 | Held inside running in midfield and travelled kindly throughout, responded well and came through a gap on the inside, led inside 200 M and was nicely on top at the end. |
2 | 1 | FAST GO (CJ181) | C K Tong | B/TT | Soon crossed to the fence behind runners, not helped by the steadying tempo in middle stages, into clear after 250 M, ran on for a never nearer 2nd. |
3 | 12 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | G Cheyne | B | Even break, settled in a 2-wide position ahead of mid-division, made steady headway inside 250 M, stayed on but never threatened the winner. |
4 | 10 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | S K Sit | SR/CP/TT | Rushed to a forward position, always prominent but travelled 3-wide without cover, hard driven in straight and kept to his task throughout. Had every chance but not able to reach the winner. |
5 | 5 | DAILY DOUBLE (CK043) | B Doyle | SR | Broke well but dropped back to find cover behind midfield, inconvenienced by the steadying tempo in middle stages, switched out 350 M but not pace to seriously challenge. |
6 | 7 | LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) | M L Yeung | B2/TT | Awkwardly away, couldn't muster early speed and ended up towards the rear 4 to 5Ls back, not helped by the slow tempo in middle stages, made some progress inside 250 M but offered little threat. |
7 | 4 | WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) | M W Leung | TT | Up with the early pace, moved up to race outside the lead passing 800 M, led early in straight but found nothing under pressure over the final 200 M. |
8 | 8 | KING'S CHOICE (CG040) | O Doleuze | -- | Bustled along after the start to be on the heels of the leader, hampered by the slackening tempo near 1000 M and inclined to hang out, not quicken in straight and outpaced passing 200 M. |
9 | 2 | FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) | D Whyte | CP | Fractious in stalls, missed the break and lost many lengths, made up the lost ground gradually but still last turning in, taken wide to challenge but made limited headway only. |
10 | 6 | GIANT BLIZZARD (CJ171) | W M Lai | SR | Dropped back to 2nd last on jumping from a wide barrier, gave little response when driven out 250 M. No impression. |
11 | 11 | MAGIC PRACTITIONER (CK125) | T H So | B/TT1 | Taken back to a rearward position, hampered by the slow pace and became unsettled, had 6Ls to make up inside 400 M but found very little off the bridle. |
12 | 9 | MOUNT SURPLUS (CH122) | K C Leung | -- | Soon in front, hugged the rails led them slowly, driven from 300 M but not quicken, weakened rapidly over the final stages. |
