Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) | Y T Cheng | TT | Crossed from wide gate to lead on fence by 1L at 1000 M, set a fairly steady pace, always holding a nice margin from the top of the homestretch. |
2 | 9 | PEARL HALO (CJ023) | B Prebble | TT | 3-wide no cover when 5Ls back in midfield at halfway, 3-wide and 4Ls back in 6th off final bend, stayed on well to take 2nd inside final 100 M. |
3 | 14 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | H W Lai | V/XB | 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd at 1000 M, chasing leader 1L back in 2nd turning for home, proximity to steady pace helped him place 3rd. |
4 | 4 | KING FAY FAY (CH089) | D Whyte | -- | Not the best away, about 8Ls back in 11th at the 1000 M, still 6Ls down off last bend, was the only backmarker to make some late ground, never nearer. |
5 | 1 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | F Coetzee | B | Keen early on, 3-back on fence about 4Ls down in 5th at 900 M, closer in 5th entering homestretch, bumped until the 300 M, couldn't find an extra gear. |
6 | 2 | SPARE A DIME (CH155) | O Doleuze | TT1 | Slowest away, 2-wide back in mid-division about 5Ls from pace from 1000 M to home straight, very one-paced thereafter. |
7 | 5 | MY MELODY (CJ157) | G Boss | TT | Over-raced early on, handily placed in 4th about 4Ls from speed at 900 M, still well there turning for home, had every chance but failed to quicken. (Abnormal breathing noise.) |
8 | 8 | DECENT FELLOW (CH021) | Z Purton | B1 | One from rear about 7Ls from pace at 1200 M, still well back and 4-wide (widest of all) turning for home, plugged on past a few tired rivals. |
9 | 3 | PERFECT TREASURE (CH091) | E Saint-Martin | TT | With cover about 7Ls off the speed in 10th out 2-wide at 1000 M and similar making last turn, never likely to improve better than midfield. |
10 | 6 | FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) | M Nunes | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
11 | 10 | TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) | S K Sit | -- | 6Ls back in 9th at 900 M, raced 3 and 4-wide sometimes without cover, thoroughly outpaced by the leading players. |
12 | 7 | MASTER OF SHAVERS (CJ026) | G Mosse | XB | 1L back in 2nd at 1000 M, under pressure to remain in touch despite handy tempo when 2Ls back in 3rd, dropped out, poor effort. |
13 | 11 | TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) | E Wilson | B | Taken back from widest gate, 10Ls last at halfway, remained in rear. |
14 | 13 | SOU MA TAM (CH253) | C K Tong | -- | Slowly away, midfield 4-back on fence about 5Ls off speed at 1000 M, hard pressed to hold this position turning for home, didn't succeed, very weak. |
