Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | NAMJONG GOODLUCK (CE267) | G Boss | B | Well enough to begin, ended up behind the leader, suited by slow tempo, eased 2 wide on bend, into clear turning in, gradually overhauled them to hit lead at 100 M and cling on for victory. |
2 | 4 | DASH (CG236) | W M Lai | B | Began well, took prime position 2Ls back in running line, close enough on bend, eased out on straightening, made steady progress at same speed to go down in 3 way go. |
3 | 11 | THREE CLUBS (CG149) | D Beadman | -- | Away fairly, lacked early pace, ended up towards rear 2 wide 7Ls back, not helped by slow pace, in traffic on turning, made substantial ground in stretch to snare a close up placing. (See Racing Incidents.) |
4 | 9 | SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) | D Whyte | -- | Jumped nicely, pressed on from a wide gate, assumed position outside leader, assisted when pace dropped a notch in mid-section, up challenging on turning, hit lead briefly at 150 M but couldn't dash again. |
5 | 12 | CHINA SPORTFIELD (CG032) | C K Tong | BO | Began well, didn't have pace to go on with it, travelled midfield 5 to 6Ls back in running line, not helped by tempo, back between horses on turning, made good progress when in clear last 200 M. |
6 | 1 | SUPER PEGASUS (CH141) | Z Purton | TT | Fast into stride, pressed on and did share of work to lead from a wide alley, dictated pace thereafter, held 1/2L on turning, held out to 150 M but couldn't sustain effort late and overhauled. |
7 | 2 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | O Doleuze | B- | Awkwardly away and checked early, mustered to race in front of midfield on rail, 3 to 4Ls back throughout obtaining a soft run, niggled on turning, steadily made up late ground to be nearest at finish. |
8 | 10 | TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) | B Prebble | -- | Lost ground at start, took up a rearward role 7Ls back on fence, harmed by slow tempo, well back on turning, made plenty of ground between horses doing best work late before running into a dead end last 50 M. |
9 | 5 | FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) | G Mosse | B-/PC1 | No real early pace, ended up behind midfield, raced 3 wide with cover, pace against and did share of work to bend, kept on fairly in straight before jumping marks on track last 150 M. |
10 | 14 | FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) | P H Lo | B | Out in line, couldn't press on from a wide gate, posted 3 wide with cover 7Ls back, still well down turning, made fair progress without looking likely. |
11 | 3 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | K Shea | V/TT | Lacked pace from jump but ridden up to sit just behind pace, had a fair trip 3 to 4Ls back in running line, travelled well to bend, lacked a dash in straight, battled late. |
12 | 6 | JOY TRUMPS (CD242) | M Nunes | B/TT | Even getaway, ended up 3 wide midfield or better without cover, did share of work on circle, niggled on turning, looked a prospect until 200 M before hard run took toll. |
12 | 7 | HAPPY HEROES (CD261) | F Coetzee | PC | No pace from outset, raced 6Ls back on rails, had an easy time in mid-section but disadvantaged by slow pace, kept to rails in straight but couldn't find a gap last 200 M and not properly tested. |
14 | 13 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | S K Sit | B | Ordinary jump, assumed spot at tail 9Ls from front, not helped by slow pace at top end, still rearward on turning, made no impact in straight. |
