Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | EL MORRO (CK344) | B Prebble | H | Never far off leaders, moved up to challenge inside 400 M, took lead approaching 100 M and held on gamely under strong urging. |
2 | 1 | SHINING VICTORY (CL163) | K W Leung | B/TT | Positioned 2-wide in midfield, had to shift out twice for a clear passage in straight, did best work late and was just denied. |
3 | 10 | NO MORE GREEN (CL190) | G Cheyne | TT | Stalked leader off the rail, took over 350 M, fought back when challenged over final 150 M and continued willingly to the line. |
4 | 7 | ROYAL FLUSH (CK184) | Z Purton | XB/TT | Went forward and sat prominently just off the pace, kept on to 100 M, weakened late. |
5 | 14 | GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) | M L Yeung | -- | Given a waiting ride near the rear, made promising headway down the inside but was severely checked 50 M form the line. Would have been closer. |
6 | 2 | ABLE SPEED (CK210) | D Beadman | B/TT | Settled nicely in midfield along the inside, kept on to 100 M but lacked extra pace to seriously challenge, turned flat close home. |
7 | 11 | UNION'S STAR (CK117) | Y T Cheng | SR | Reserved off the pace, held up early in straight, ran on final 300 M but not getting to the leaders. |
8 | 13 | HAPPY REUNION (CK163) | T H So | B/TT | Never far off but kept very wide throughout, not quickened on straightening and hung in badly. (Jockey reported he was unable to test the horse due to its racing manner.) |
9 | 12 | LOVE LOCKDOWN (CL261) | H W Lai | TT | Driven early to stay in midpack, one-paced going into final 300 M, never threatened. |
10 | 9 | HAPPY BOY (CL299) | B Doyle | TT | Taken back to last on jumping, reserved to 400 M, took time to gather and made minor headway final 200 M. |
11 | 5 | SUPER BOY (CK405) | J Lloyd | TT | Dropped back and raced near last about 6Ls off the pace, never a factor in the straight and made limited progress only. |
12 | 6 | FOREVER ELATION (CK215) | K C Leung | B | Settled off the fence behind midfield, lacked further response on straightening, weakened 150 M. |
13 | 4 | BLAZE KING (CK104) | M Du Plessis | CP/TT | Sped to the lead but unable to make the cross until 700 M, had little left coming out of the bend, eased. |
14 | 8 | SEEK N' DESTROY (CL221) | D Whyte | -- | Obtained a midfield position along the 3 path, gave way 300 M then eased. (Jockey expressed concerns over the horse's action.) |
