Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Didn't break well as usual, one from rear initially, 8Ls back at halfway, quickened up well in the straight to lead 50 M out. |
2 | 2 | REGENCY KINGDOM (CK031) | B Prebble | TT | Midfield with cover 5Ls off pace at 1200 M, moved up just before final turn to lead 250 M out, no extra when grabbed by winner final 50 M. |
3 | 11 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | M W Leung | H/TT | Slowest out and soon 10Ls last, still 6Ls down turning for home, stayed on strongly late for 3rd. |
4 | 5 | LEO'S PRIDE (CK094) | Y T Cheng | B1 | Enjoyed a soft trail in 4th on fence through to the last turn, entitled to hold down 4th given the cheap run but an improved run nonetheless. |
5 | 10 | SURE GOOD (CJ240) | K C Leung | B/TT | Opted to race 4Ls off speed in midfield at 1000 M, closer and with place prospects off last turn and at 200 M, lacked a decisive turn of foot. |
6 | 7 | ZEPHYRUS (CH285) | G Cheyne | B/TT | 6Ls behind early speed in 9th, 4Ls adrift on straightening, never really troubled the principals. |
7 | 8 | SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) | D Whyte | B | Raced in 10th initially at least 6Ls from leader, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, briefly loomed a place chance, run peaked. |
8 | 9 | JOLLY WONGCHOY (CH076) | Z Purton | TT | Caught 3-wide no cover 1300 M out, pressed on to track pacesetter and briefly led off last bend, headed soon after and faded out of picture. |
9 | 12 | CLOVIS (CH044) | W Pike | -- | 3-wide no cover throughout, 3Ls back in 5th at halfway and 1L down in 3rd off final curve, one-paced thereafter. |
10 | 1 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | J Winks | V | Midfield 3-back the rails, 5Ls off pace at halfway and closer turning in, didn't have much room at top of straight but held in any case. |
11 | 4 | DR WELL (CD165) | T H So | -- | Didn't lead on this occasion, 'one-out-one-back' in 4th at 1200 M, ridden along to maintain this proximity turning in, soon beaten. (Tactic questioned.) |
12 | 3 | KARBRIDGE (CK251) | G Mosse | B1 | Led by 1L on fence at the 1200 M, set a decent pace and headed on straightening for home, dropped out. |
