Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | RICH UNICORN (CL410) | D Whyte | -- | Patiently tracked leaders and always travelling well, surged to the lead with an impressive acceleration, lengthened away to win with some authority. |
2 | 5 | HORSE GALORE (CL220) | Y T Cheng | -- | From outside barrier worked his way to share the lead just in time for the turn, had no chance with the winner but rallied on willingly to hold 2nd. |
3 | 3 | WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) | C K Tong | -- | Began awkwardly, soon recovered to share the lead on the inside, headed 250M out and weakened steadily over final 100M. |
4 | 12 | CHATER POWER (CG312) | M Guyon | B/TT | Restrained in a rearward position 6Ls behind leaders, urged along passing 400M, stayed on well. |
5 | 10 | SPECTACULAR AWARD (CK364) | O Doleuze | B | Placed in midfield after an awkward start, took inside route but was bumped and badly unbalanced 750M, placed under pressure near 500M, finished well. |
6 | 6 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | G Mosse | PC/TT | Nudged along early stages to keep up with rivals, checked near 750M and shuffled back to the rear, progressed steadily to 100M then flattened. |
7 | 1 | FLYING CHINA (CK266) | T Angland | PC | Hard pushed early to stay in touch with the field, hampered near 750M and was 8Ls down leaving the bend, finished off the race soundly but was left with too much to do. |
8 | 11 | GO FAY FAY (CK313) | G Cheyne | -- | Raced keenly in 6th place about 3Ls behind leaders, made a short lived effort early straight and soon flattened out. |
9 | 4 | LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) | N Callan | -- | Not far off from leaders but had to be pushed along to maintain that position, outpaced by leaders turning for home and weakened passing 250M. |
10 | 2 | REGENCY WINNER (CK410) | M Chadwick | TT | Held up in midfield, badly unbalanced and almost dislodged rider near 750M when bumped with a rival, never in contention after this incident. (Jockey reported his saddle shifted.) |
11 | 9 | BET ON ME (CK376) | H W Lai | XB/H1 | Forwardly placed behind leading pair, came under pressure nearing 400M and had nothing left when asked for an effort, eased inside 300M. |
12 | 8 | CHINA DRAGON (CL104) | C W Wong | -- | Positioned 3-wide at the back, hampered near 750M and pushed wider, not picked up and eased final 300M. |
