Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | MASTERY (CC176) | O Doleuze | TT | 3-back on fence in 6th about 4Ls back at halfway, closer when 4-wide turning for home in 5th, stayed on well to join VIVA FIGHTER on line. |
1 | 6 | VIVA FIGHTER (CG307) | B Prebble | B/TT | Midfield early, hung out at halfway, made a forward move to lead by a neck 500 M out, kept on gamely, joined by MASTERY on the wire. |
3 | 8 | PRIME TARGET (CH242) | G Boss | -- | 4Ls back in mid-division in middle stages, pressed forward on the circle to be a neck down off final bend, had his chance to win but outpaced final 200 M. |
4 | 12 | NASA PEARL (CC068) | E Wilson | -- | 2-wide in 7th about 4Ls or 5Ls down through to final bend, ran on okay but he just lacked the dash of the leading trio. |
5 | 11 | SILVER MARK (CE226) | W M Lai | V/TT | Worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the pace until straightening, remained a good distance from the firing line. |
6 | 7 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | F Coetzee | B/XB | 1L back in 2nd at the 1000 M, tended to over-race, unbalanced 600 M out, 4th but still close-up turning in, hung in and soon beaten. |
7 | 2 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | Y T Cheng | B | 4-back on fence in 8th about 5Ls or 6Ls from the speed from 1200 M to final bend, always well outpaced. |
8 | 10 | AMSTERDAM (CE140) | D Beadman | XB/H/TT | 8Ls back in 10th at 1200 M, marginally closer swinging for homestretch, never likely to make an impact. (Lost plate.) |
9 | 5 | ELECTRONICS SPUR (CE285) | K L Chui | XB/TT | 9Ls back in 11th early on and still one from rear off last turn, very one-paced. |
10 | 3 | I'M NO SQUARE (CG078) | C K Tong | TT | Restrained in rear between 8Ls and 10Ls from speed until home turn, found no room until inside the 200 M, never got a proper crack at them. |
11 | 1 | FANTASTIC DANCER (CJ001) | M Nunes | B | Led early on before ceding the advantage 1100 M out, box-seated down backstretch but was left behind when tempo quickened 600 M out. |
12 | 9 | WARM EMBRACES (CJ162) | M W Leung | -- | Pressed on out 3-wide no cover to lead on fence by 1L at the 1000 M, headed 500 M out and dropped out from the top of the home straight. |
