Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) | B Prebble | B | Over-racing behind slow pace in 10th at the 1200 M, looped field from the 500 M to lead 250 M out, soon well clear, easily. |
2 | 8 | LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) | J Victoire | B | Midfield with cover about 4Ls from slow speed until the 500 M, checked off home turn, no chance with winner but stayed on best of the rest for 2nd. |
3 | 10 | VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) | W M Lai | B/XB | Pressed forward from wide gate to lead on fence by 2Ls at 1100 M, set sedate pace, headed by winner 250 M out, all out to hang onto a place. |
4 | 4 | SUPER IDEAL (CC223) | T H So | TT | Slowest away, on fence 6Ls off pace on rails at halfway and similar spinning for home, recovered minor late ground, never nearer. |
5 | 1 | FORTUNE DRAGON (CH324) | G Mosse | B/TT | Held 5th or so on the rails at 1000 M, same position and 4Ls down off last bend but held up until 150 M out, unlucky not to finish closer. (Tactic questioned.) |
6 | 12 | NATURAL ECHO (CB326) | C W Wong | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
7 | 7 | SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) | Z Purton | TT | 8th or so and 2-wide about 4Ls or 5Ls back until turning for home, lacked a turn of foot and only held ground. |
8 | 6 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | O Doleuze | CP | Went back from widest gate, in rear between 6Ls and 8Ls off the slow pace, no real impact in the finish. |
9 | 2 | ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) | D Whyte | B | 4-back on the rails about 5Ls off slow pace at the 1000 M, tight for room turning for home, kept chasing the majority. |
10 | 5 | GRANDFIELD (CJ250) | M L Yeung | V-/B1 | Mostly in the 'one-out-one-back' position within 2Ls of the slow pace until straightening for home, no excuse for not finishing better. |
11 | 3 | DECENT FELLOW (CH021) | K L Chui | B/H/TT | Held up one from rear about 8Ls behind steady tempo, 7Ls last turning for home, race wasn't run to suit. |
12 | 11 | MAGIC PRACTITIONER (CK125) | C K Tong | B-/CP1/XB1 | Disputed early pace, eased into 2nd behind steady pace before last turn, found zero off the bridle again, poor. |
