Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 13 | A WALK IN THE PARK (CK361) | D Whyte | TT | Position from outset, slotted in to 1 out 1 back spot, had all favours in mid-section, moved into it on turning, let down well and kept going to score a shade cosily. |
2 | 7 | GREEN JACKET (CL010) | O Doleuze | -- | Trapped wide from an awkward alley, used plenty 4 to 5Ls back without cover, improved to bend, came after leaders at 250 M and did well to get so close given hard run. |
3 | 8 | QUELLE SURPRISE (CL008) | J Lloyd | -- | Away well, pressed on to sit outside leader, did a bit of work but relaxed on bend, 3Ls down turning, didn't give up and kept chasing right to line. |
4 | 9 | THUNDER DANCING (CG250) | Y T Cheng | PC-/B2 | Plenty of early pace, lead easily, ran along at decent sections, held a 2 to 3 advantage turning, kept kicking when caught at 200 M and just lost place final 50 M. |
5 | 3 | SOVIET PEARL (CK187) | K C Leung | -- | Out in line, ended up in midfield in running, enjoyed a good trip to turn, kept closing in straight to be not far from placegetters at finish. |
6 | 5 | TOP NEWS (CK196) | K L Chui | -- | Slotted into a midfield role, 5 to 6Ls off top end, difficult to settle in mid-section, urged along turning, just one paced final furlong. |
7 | 6 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | D Beadman | XB/TT | No early speed, ended up 7 to 8Ls away on rails, soft run to bend, saved ground on turning, made gradual ground to 200 M before run ended. |
8 | 12 | BEST POWER (CG006) | G Mosse | TT | Faded back from a wide gate, raced 3 wide 8 to 9Ls back, had cover but left with plenty to do to bend, made only minor ground in straight. |
9 | 11 | GALLANT GALLOP (CL080) | W M Lai | B/TT | Drifted down to rear from outside draw, raced in rear division 3 wide 7 to 8Ls back, had cover to bend, just produced a modest close late. |
10 | 2 | UNION'S STAR (CK117) | B Prebble | -- | Slow into stride, well back on fence 8 to 9Ls away on rails, saved ground on bend, made some late ground from well back without threatening. |
11 | 1 | GREAT GUY (CH112) | M Chadwick | TT | Drifted back to rear, settled with last few 8 to 9Ls away in running line, had plenty to do and held up leaving bend, little extra when clear. |
12 | 10 | LUCKY AMICI (CK177) | J Victoire | XB/TT | Reasonable break, settled in good spot 3 to 4Ls away on rails, used little to bend, found nothing in straight and faded. |
13 | 4 | MR TOPAZ (CL097) | T H So | -- | No speed, well back 9 to 10Ls from speed, always rearward and never picked up in straight. |
14 | 14 | MALAYAN BRIGHT (CK158) | G Cheyne | CP/TT | Prominent from gates, sat close to speed on leaders back, 3Ls down to bend, gave in soon after straightening. (Abnormal breathing.) |
