Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | PRESENT TREASURE (CC077) | R Fradd | TT | Ideally placed on fence 2Ls off speed in 3rd until home turn, peeled out to lead at 200 M, always doing enough to win. |
2 | 5 | SPOKESMAN (CD099) | E Saint-Martin | -- | 3-back on fence about 3Ls behind speed in 5th until straightening for home, over 1L down in 4th at 200 M, kept on quite well but winner had his measure. |
3 | 8 | JOIN VICTORY (CD026) | O Doleuze | B | Slowest away, switched from wide gate to fence, 8Ls down in 11th at the 1200 M, 6Ls down in 10th off home turn, headway to be 4Ls back in midfield at 200 M, kept on fairly to reach the frame. |
4 | 6 | SOLDIER ON (CD230) | S Dye | B | 5Ls back on fence in 8th from 1100 M to entering home stretch, 3Ls down in 6th at the 200 M, one-paced. |
5 | 9 | WATCHMAN (CB327) | H K Yim | B/SR | Mostly 3-wide without cover, about 4Ls down in 6th until home straight, picked up well to 1L down in 3rd at 200 M despite hanging out, weakened final 100 M. |
6 | 11 | AURELIAN (CC025) | H W Lai | -- | Switched from widest gate to fence and 9Ls last at 1200 M, 8Ls last off the final corner, plugged on late past some tired rivals. |
7 | 10 | CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) | Y T Cheng | -- | 2-wide and 3Ls behind lead in 4th at 1100 M, came under pressure to hold position on the circle, 5Ls down in 7th on straightening, didn't trouble leaders. |
8 | 3 | DANRIVA (CA040) | W M Lai | -- | 4Ls down in 7th when 2-wide at 1100 M, hard ridden when a little further back and 3-wide off home turn, posed little threat to principals. |
9 | 1 | GLORIOUS RHYTHM (CC163) | C Munce | V | 3-wide no cover early on, got in 2-wide 1L off pace in 2nd at 1100 M, kept on to lead at top of home stretch, headed at 200 M and wilted quickly. |
10 | 12 | ONE SHOT (CE212) | D Whyte | B | 5Ls down in 9th at 1100 M when 2-wide, improved out wider from 700 M to be 4Ls down in 6th tackling final bend, retreated 250 M out. |
11 | 2 | EUPHORIC KID (CB165) | C W Wong | V/TT | Always one from rear and never better than 6Ls off the pace, never figured. |
12 | 7 | IRISH GEM (CE035) | C Soumillon | -- | Best away and led by 1L 1400 M out, always tended to over-race and hang away from the fence, never appeared comfortable, headed at top of home straight, beaten when spooking at 200 M, eased down. |
