1 | 10 | MYTHIC STEED (CD208) | P H Lo | B/H | Had the box-seat position in 3rd or 4th between 2Ls and 3Ls from the front until home turn, 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, stayed on gamely to lead on line. |
2 | 1 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | D Whyte | B/XB | 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd at 1000 M and similar turning for home, led 300 M out and went 1L clear at the 200 M, kept on only to be foiled on the line. |
3 | 11 | COME HO CHOI (CE082) | Y T Cheng | B | Awkwardly away, 2-wide in mid-division 6Ls from the speed at halfway and not much closer making final turn, stayed on okay for a place despite hanging in. |
4 | 14 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | M Nunes | XB | Went back from wide gate, 8Ls back about 11th at 800 M, not much closer on straightening when checked, ran on well despite hanging in, never nearer. |
5 | 2 | BOLD CHAMPION (CG127) | C K Tong | B/TT2 | 4Ls back out 2-wide in 5th at 1000 M, 3Ls down turning for home, had his chance to place bit lacked the dash. |
6 | 3 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | G Mosse | B | 4-back on fence about 7Ls from the speed at 1000 M, steadied entering straight, kept on at same pace and never likely to figure in the money. |
7 | 12 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | W M Lai | B | Slowly away, got well back at least 8Ls from the lead through to home turn, never really on terms with principals. |
8 | 13 | MEGA BULLET (CH192) | G Boss | -- | 3-back on fence about 6Ls from the speed at halfway in midfield, marginally closer turning for home, held up for a run twice inside final 200 M but never a likely player. |
9 | 4 | LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) | C Soumillon | SR-/B1/TT | Caught 3-wide no cover at 1000 M and trapped deep throughout, 5Ls back in midfield at home turn, always well held. (Mucus.) |
10 | 7 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | C W Wong | V | Disputed early pace out 2-wide at 1400 M, a neck 2nd at top of home straight but faded out quickly thereafter. |
11 | 6 | TELEWIN (CJ010) | K L Chui | TT | Never on terms, at least 8Ls off pace from the 1200 M. |
12 | 8 | ALWAYS ZIETEN (CB090) | H W Lai | -- | Disputed early tempo, about 1L clear from 1000 M to home turn, headed 300 M out and faded out swiftly. |
13 | 5 | SOARING DRAGON (CH183) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Always in rear, over-raced when 3-wide with cover down the back at least 7Ls from the front, very weak in home straight. |
14 | 9 | HELLO GIBRALTAR (CH207) | K T Yeung | V | Poor performance, in rear throughout at least 8Ls or 9Ls from the speed, 4-wide (widest) and well back turning for home, slipped further back. |
