Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | D Whyte | TT | Led slowly, was taken on for the lead passing 800M, kicked clear turning into straight, kept responding to pressure in front and was never in danger of being caught. |
2 | 10 | OWNERS' GLORY (CL391) | Z Purton | B | Reserved near the rear in early stages, improved to midfield halfway but raced with no cover from 800M, stayed on well final 250, nearest finish. |
3 | 5 | GLORY OF INDIA (CK130) | J Lloyd | TT | Tracked leader on the inside, lacked pace to mount a serious challenge but plugged on throughout the final 200M and was not beaten far. |
4 | 4 | MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) | H W Lai | B/H | Began awkwardly, held up behind midfield along the 2-path, took time to gather in straight, did best work late. |
5 | 11 | VICTORY MASCOT (CJ243) | B Prebble | B-/TT | Held a midfield position along the fence, travelled well to straight but could only run on at the same pace final 300M. |
6 | 2 | JOLLY GOOD (CL134) | P Strydom | SR/TT | Caught 3-wide in mid-division, strode to the lead inside 900M, kept on to 150M, weakened late stages. |
7 | 7 | HO HO LIFE (CL209) | M Du Plessis | B | Taken across behind runners and settled towards the rear 6Ls off the pace, saved ground on the inside but made very limited progress turning in. |
8 | 12 | CLASSIC BOY (CL425) | C Y Ho | H | Never far off the steady pace, niggled along nearing 400M, ran on one-paced and made no impression. |
9 | 1 | ANTIPASTO (CK213) | K C Leung | B | Towards the rear, under pressure rounding the home turn and found disappointingly little turning in. |
10 | 8 | BEAUTY FOREVER (CK074) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Closest to leader in first half of the race, struggled for pace making the home turn, gave way inside 250M. |
11 | 9 | BEAUTY SUCCESS (CL422) | M Chadwick | CP/TT | Slow to begin, raced in the rear for most of the way, did not pick up under pressure. (To stalls test.) |
12 | 3 | GIVE WELL (CJ109) | M L Yeung | BO | Towards the rear, hung out making the first turn and ended up racing wide without cover for rest of the trip, already beaten turning in. (To official barrier trial around a bend.) |
