Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | TREASURABLE (CH017) | C K Tong | -- | Keen early on, much closer to pace than for previous win just 1L back in 2nd until leading at top of home straight, driven clear, comfortably. |
2 | 10 | SUNNY GOLF (CH138) | D Beadman | XB/H/TT | In last but only 5Ls adrift of the leader at the 800 M, ran on best of the rest in homestretch and nicked 2nd on the line. |
3 | 12 | DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) | Y T Cheng | TT | Soon led but couldn't cross to fence until 750 M out, headed at top of home straight, one-paced and lost out on 2nd in the home straight. |
4 | 3 | JADE DANCER (CE170) | O Doleuze | CP | About 2Ls back in 3rd but trapped 3-wide no cover until homestretch, had his chance but weakened after wide trip final 200 M. |
5 | 5 | DASHING WINNER (CA018) | Z Purton | SR/CO | Lost 3Ls by messing up the start and tended to hang out from fence towards rear, one-paced in homestretch, tight for room final 50 M. |
6 | 6 | GOOD TRIO (CD029) | M W Leung | B | Under pressure to hold midfield position about 3Ls off pace until home turn, lacked any kind of dash in final stages. |
7 | 7 | TELECOM SIR (CH217) | K Shea | -- | Worse than midfield when badly checked back to a 4-back position on fence final 200 M, never recovered from that setback. |
8 | 9 | MAGIC KING (CH182) | W M Lai | B/XB | Nice position on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th until the 600 M, struggling to lie up into home straight despite soft run, weakened out. |
9 | 8 | CALIFORNIA HEART (CE078) | B Prebble | B/XB/TT | Switched inside from wide gate to race about 5Ls off early pace in rear, briefly threatened out wide 300 M out but run peaked and tired late. |
10 | 2 | BITE MY DUST (CH170) | H W Lai | -- | Caught very wide 5 and 6-wide no cover down backstretch in rear, detached about 8Ls off speed turning in, never a factor. |
11 | 11 | TOP SPEED (CH019) | P H Lo | B/TT | 2Ls back in 5th through early stages but unbalanced on the circle and lost his position into home straight, faded further. |
12 | 4 | HAPPY ELITE (CD306) | G Mosse | XB/TT | Very disappointing, 3-wide with cover about 4Ls off pace in 8th or so down the back, under pressure and struggling into home straight, found zero off the bit and eased late. |
