Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | MYTHIC STEED (CD208) | F Coetzee | B/H | Restrained about 6Ls off pace towards rear through first half, 4Ls back in midfield off final bend, picked up well to lead at 200 M, kept on for strong pressure. |
2 | 7 | RIGHT FRAAR (CE024) | D Whyte | -- | Slow break, 2-wide worse than midfield 6Ls off pace at 1000 M, went for home before home turn and 3Ls down in mid-division at 400 M, a neck 2nd at 200 M, always held by winner. |
3 | 1 | BALL OF FIRE (CD020) | H K Yim | V | 8Ls last at the 1200 M when 3-wide with cover, 6Ls back in rear turning for home, stayed on dourly to claim 3rd place inside final strides. |
4 | 4 | GOOD TRIO (CD029) | G Mosse | -- | 2-wide in rear bunch between 5Ls and 7Ls off the speed until home turn, headway to be 3Ls back in 5th at the 200 M, clear but remote 3rd at 100 M, lost out on a place in final strides. |
5 | 14 | COSMO STAR (CA260) | W M Lai | SR/TT | 4-wide no cover at 900 M when about 4Ls back in mid-pack, gained cover on circle and improved to be a hard-pressed 4th 2Ls back turning for home, rather one-paced thereafter. |
6 | 2 | ABLE MARS (CC273) | O Doleuze | B | Prominent about 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 1000 M, further headway to lead by a neck at the 400 M and with every chance, headed at the 200 M and very weak close home. |
7 | 11 | LUCKY ENCOUNTER (CC143) | C Munce | B | 3-back on fence in or around midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls behind the speed until 600 M, a little closer on straightening when short of room, never threatened any further once clear. |
8 | 6 | LASER GLORY (CB312) | S Sanders | V-/B2 | About 3Ls off pace in 5th or so down the back, left 3-wide no cover on circle while advancing to be a neck back in 3rd entering homestretch, swamped at the 200 M and weakened right out. |
9 | 13 | PERFECT SCORE (CB111) | C Brown | -- | Got much further back than normal and sat 6Ls off pace at the 800 M while wide but with cover, raced ungenerously in places, 5Ls down in 10th off home turn, never dangerous. |
10 | 12 | DANEPRINT (CC221) | C Soumillon | B | No speed early on fence about 8Ls off pace in rear group, about 5Ls behind leader at home straight entrance and 200 M, never on terms. |
11 | 10 | BRAVE COMMANDER (CC322) | C K Tong | CP-/TT- | Led at 1000 M on fence, headed at 900 M, 2Ls down in 4th at top of home straight, faded. |
12 | 8 | FORTUNE MAPLE (CA385) | E Saint-Martin | B/SR | Midfield about 4Ls off the pace at 100 M, under pressure to maintain this position at 600 M, found nothing off the bridle and quickly back-pedalled. |
13 | 9 | SILLY BOY (CC094) | R Fradd | B2 | Caught 5-wide no cover early before pressing on to lead by 2Ls on fence at 800 M, headed at top of home straight and retreated hastily. |
14 | 3 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | K H Chan | -- | Disputed lead at 1200 M but soon niggled along when back 3Ls off pace in 4th on fence, all out to remain with field taking home turn, eased a long way out. |
