Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | MIRACULOUS (CE115) | F Coetzee | -- | Soon led on fence, mostly a little over a length clear until the 600 M, kicked on before home turn and 2Ls clear at 200 M, always doing enough. |
2 | 2 | KING HOGAN (CE257) | E Saint-Martin | B | Slowly away, in 10th or so about 8Ls off pace with cover through first half, headway on circle to be 5Ls off pace but 5-wide (widest of all) into stretch, ran on strongly out wide for 2nd. |
3 | 5 | CHINOOK (CC108) | K L Chui | B | Average start, 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in midfield until the 600 M, edged a little closer taking home turn, stayed on fairly well for a place. |
4 | 1 | BRILLIANT TREASURE (CH045) | K T Yeung | B1 | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd early on, a bit over 1L back in 2nd from 800 M to home turn, plugged on at the same pace. |
5 | 3 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | B Prebble | -- | In 7th or 8th position about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed with cover until home turn, disappointed for running at 150 M, kept on at same pace. |
6 | 12 | FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) | H W Lai | B | Slowest away, always in rear couple until home turn, 8Ls back at 600 M when unbalanced on fence trying to improve, stayed on well late along fence, nearest at finish. |
7 | 9 | FAST TRACK (CB375) | C K Tong | -- | Squeezed at start losing ground, 10Ls off pace at 1000 M in rear, 8Ls last turning for home, made some nice late ground despite shifting out briefly at 100 M. |
8 | 10 | GLORIOUS RHYTHM (CC163) | A Delpech | V | 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, still well there turning for home, given every chance to place but just too one-paced. |
9 | 8 | NICKU NICKU (CC372) | Y T Cheng | B/SR | Worse than midfield with cover about 6Ls off pace from 1200 M to home turn when 4-wide, stayed on fairly late, never nearer. |
10 | 4 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | D Whyte | V | Ideally placed on fence 2Ls off speed from 1200 M to home turn, given every hope to at least place but found nothing off the bit, no excuses. |
11 | 11 | PILLOW KING (CE291) | M Nunes | B | Lost ground at start, with cover around midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls from the pace until the home turn, made no impression. |
12 | 6 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | O Doleuze | B2 | Slowly away, always caught 3-wide no cover despite prominent position about 3Ls off pace in 4th or so, 4-wide turning for home, faded from top of homestretch. (Mucus.) |
