Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | MIRACULOUS (CE115) | F Coetzee | -- | Made all, led on fence by 1L at 1200 M and held a similar break turning for home, stayed on well for pressure to prevail. |
2 | 1 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | B Prebble | -- | About 9Ls back in 7th with cover at 1200 M, 6Ls down in 8th making final bend, ran on strongly but the line came a fraction too soon. |
3 | 4 | CHINOOK (CC108) | A Delpech | B | slowly away, 5Ls back in 7th out 2-wide at 1200 M, same margin back in midfield taking home bend, stayed on well to take 3rd inside final 50 M. |
4 | 5 | SUPER CHARGE (CC299) | G Mosse | B | Had a lovely trail about 2Ls off pace on fence in 2nd or 3rd until home turn, should have at least placed but too weak inside final 50 M. |
5 | 7 | SIXTY SECONDS (CB177) | H W Lai | -- | 4-back on fence about 6Ls off speed in 8th or so from 1000 M to home turn, stayed on fairly to be nearest at the finish. |
6 | 12 | SILVER WRAITH (CE178) | S K Sit | B | 3-back on the fence about 3Ls or 4Ls back in 4th through to home turn, lad his chance to place but lacked the dash. |
7 | 8 | SEVENS HEAVEN (CE175) | D Nikolic | B/TT | Fractious in gates and lost ground at start, always in rear bunch about 7Ls behind leader until home turn, made some minor late ground. |
8 | 9 | FAST TRACK (CB375) | C K Tong | -- | Shared last place about 8Ls off the speed, on his own in rear at 600 M, made only a scant late impression. |
9 | 6 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | Y T Cheng | V | 3Ls back in 4th out 2-wide at 1200 M, still close enough at home turn but very one-paced in the stretch. |
10 | 11 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | C W Wong | B/XB/TT | Caught 3 wide without cover throughout, 4Ls back in midfield at halfway, lost position in the circle and faded right out in home straight. |
11 | 10 | SIR OCTAVIUS (CB427) | M Nunes | P-/V2 | 3-wide with cover but 5Ls back in 8th at 1000 M, never any better than midfield and very weak in home straight. |
12 | 3 | SOHNA (CG183) | D Whyte | PC-/B2 | 2-wide and 1L off speed in 2nd at 1200 M, always tended to hang out, under pressure to lie up at the 500 M, very weak finish, unacceptable effort. (Mucus.) |
