Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | DASHING WINNER (CA018) | O Doleuze | SR | Held up in midfield with cover about 2-1/2Ls off lead. Gained split after the 300 M and responded well under pressure to take charge concluding stages. |
2 | 11 | CHARIOT OF STORM (CA194) | F Coetzee | B | Always up there on fence, stayed on well final stages though unable to fend off winner's strong challenge. |
3 | 2 | CROCKER (CB186) | D Dunn | -- | Always within striking distance, kept on well to the line albeit not able to threaten the first pair. |
4 | 14 | GRAND FIGHTER (CA225) | K H Ting | B | Bounded in the air, soon recovered to dispute lead down centre of track. Looked a chance 200 M out, no extra closing stages when passed by placegetters. |
5 | 6 | BOWMAN'S CROSSING (CB138) | D Whyte | SR | Settled towards rear with cover, some 4 or 5Ls off speed. Shaken up 350 M out when into clear, responded only fairly, one-paced final bit. |
6 | 7 | V-CAN (BV263) | Hammer-Hansen | -- | Jumped very awkwardly and unbalanced rider, then remained 4 or 5Ls off lead near rear. Made only moderate headway final 200 M. |
7 | 5 | SAINTLY PARTNERS (BV292) | S Dye | -- | Tracked leader until unable to keep up and came under pressure 500 M out, always struggling thereafter. |
8 | 13 | PROJECTSTAR (BV048) | W M Lai | SR | Slow to jump, at rear before moving up slightly to rear of midfield 700 M out. Brief effort from 300 M to 200 M, soon emptied. |
9 | 3 | GRANDIOSO (CA327) | G Mosse | SR-/B1 | Began very awkwardly and lost ground, recovered to rear of midfield. Advanced to midfield 3Ls off lead 400 M out, not come on and tired close home. |
10 | 4 | STYLISH (BV025) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Behind midfield without cover on outer, made up a little ground from 200 M, effort not sustained closing stages. |
11 | 10 | SPLENDID PATROL (BV066) | Y T Cheng | V | Broke well and disputed lead to 600 M where it failed to keep up, dropped out quickly from 400 M. |
12 | 12 | FORTUNE MAKER (BP061) | K C Tsang | B | In handy position towards inner. Off bridle 400 M out and dropped away steadily. |
13 | 8 | DISTINCTION (CB257) | M W Leung | -- | Midfield briefly, under pressure passing 700 M and dropped to tail. Stayed there for rest of race. |
14 | 9 | NAUGHTY NAUGHTY (CB095) | S King | -- | With rear of field briefly, tailed out from 700 M. |
