Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | THREE CLUBS (CG149) | D Beadman | -- | 6Ls back and worse than midfield at 1000 M, looped field out 4-deep no cover from 800 M to home turn when just 1L down in 3rd, narrow lead 150 M out, all out. |
2 | 7 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | M Nunes | V/TT | Lovely run on fence 2Ls back in 3rd at 1200 M and led at top of home straight, grabbed by winner 150 M out, went down fighting. |
3 | 6 | JOY TRUMPS (CD242) | B Prebble | B/TT | On fence about 5Ls back in 7th at halfway, closer in 5th turning for home, outpaced by quinella pair on the run-in but did enough to place. |
4 | 10 | TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) | Z Purton | -- | Restrained about 7Ls behind early tempo, headway to midfield when 4-wide swinging for home, had his chance to place but was too one-paced. |
5 | 2 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | H W Lai | -- | 2-wide and 6Ls off early pace in 8th, 3Ls down in midfield on straightening, quite flat and one-paced in the finish. |
6 | 14 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | W M Lai | -- | 3-back on fence when 4Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, even better placed on straightening, lacked the acceleration to capitalize. |
7 | 5 | ARROGANCE (CA177) | F Coetzee | B | 3-wide no cover when 1L down in 2nd at 1200 M, got in 2-wide at 1000 M in 2nd, still thereabouts at top of home turn but weakened before final 200 M. |
8 | 11 | KEY WINNER (CG157) | O Doleuze | TT | Fractious in gates and lost ground at start, always towards rear on fence at least 4Ls or 5Ls from the speed, simply outpaced. |
9 | 1 | CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) | G Boss | -- | 7Ls from the early pace in rear, about 5Ls back in 12th turning for home and never much of a threat. |
10 | 13 | SUPER BALL (CD064) | S K Sit | B-/TT- | Caught 4-wide no cover on first bend, midfield about 4Ls back with cover for most of back straight, 4-wide into final stretch, faded out quickly. |
11 | 9 | LUCKY WORLD (CJ053) | Y T Cheng | TT | Led on fence by 1L at 1300 M, headed at top of home straight and sank through the field, eased close home. |
12 | 12 | GOLD DIGGER (CD101) | C K Tong | CP | Towards rear early on, caught 3-wide no cover from the 800 M to home turn when detached in rear, soon eased down. |
13 | 8 | EXPEDITIOUS (CE136) | M W Leung | -- | Nice position 2Ls off pace in 4th out 2-wide at 1200 M, hard pressed to keep up at the 800 M, beaten turning for home, very poor run. |
14 | 3 | REAL REJOICING (CH202) | G Mosse | TT1 | Unacceptable debut, slowly away, soon in rear and detached over 800 M, to trial. |
