Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | MASCOT FORTUNE (CH221) | G Mosse | XB | Covered up 2Ls back in midfield at 1000 M, within 2Ls of the lead turning in, led 200 M out, always in charge. |
2 | 4 | HANDSOME TARGET (CH269) | B Prebble | CP | 9th about 5Ls from speed with cover at 1000 M, closer but 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, ran on best of the rest, winner was too strong. |
3 | 3 | OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) | Z Purton | -- | Worse than midfield about 7Ls behind pace at halfway, still around 10th but closer at last turn, stayed on well through the pack to clearly take 3rd. |
4 | 10 | MASTER CRISTO (CH321) | W M Lai | -- | Set a decent pace on fence, clear by a neck from 1000 M to homestretch, headed over 300 M out but did quite well to cling onto 4th. |
5 | 2 | CONGRATULATION (CH032) | D Whyte | -- | About 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1000 M and ideally placed until home straight, disputing the lead from 300 M to 200 M out but faded late on, no excuses. |
6 | 8 | DON RICARDO (CE262) | H W Lai | -- | On fence in 9th about 9Ls from the front at 1000 M, with about 4Ls to make up turning for home, failed to make a significant impact. |
7 | 14 | MISSION (CH073) | C W Wong | B/TT | Hugged rails 9Ls from the pace in 10th with 600 M to race, always chasing without threatening, tight for room final 50 M. |
8 | 13 | ISTIDE (CJ089) | Y T Cheng | -- | Slowly away, a neck 2nd out 2-wide from 1000 M to homestretch, all out at the furlong pole when about to be swamped, yielded ground. |
9 | 6 | BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) | M Nunes | TT | 2-wide and 9Ls off pace in 11th at 1000 M, one from rear about 6Ls down turning for home, never likely to get further forward than midfield. |
10 | 9 | BODACIOUS (CD170) | M W Leung | V/TT- | Midfield or better within 3Ls of the speed with cover through to home turn, had his chance, petered out final 200 M. |
11 | 7 | CIRCUIT HERO (CG304) | O Doleuze | TT | 3Ls back on fence in 6th at 1000 M, unbalanced on straightening when within 1L of the lead in 4th, no extra thereafter, lame next day. |
12 | 11 | SCOOT DA LOOT (CH274) | F Coetzee | BO | Settled in rear, 9Ls last at halfway, outpaced once the tempo quickened 500 M out, never on terms. |
13 | 5 | MAGIC TURBO (CJ098) | E Wilson | XB | Fractious in gates and slowest out, on fence 5Ls back in 8th at 1000 M, 3Ls back in mid-division but hurried along turning for home, beaten by the 200 M. |
14 | 1 | WIN AGAIN (CD371) | D Beadman | B/SR | Prominent early but trapped 3 and 4-wide without cover along backstretch, 4-wide about 1L down off home turn, extra work soon took its toll. (See Racing Incidents.) |
