Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | ABLE TOO (CJ159) | Z Purton | -- | Covered up 2-wide and 4Ls back in midfield at halfway, enjoyed a nice run until bursting clear over 200 M out, led 50 M out and did just enough. |
2 | 1 | ENTHUSED (CH303) | F Coetzee | -- | Disputed early pace out 2-wide, about 2Ls back from 800 M to home turn, led 150 M out but headed again 50 M out, no answer to winner's late kick. |
3 | 13 | SECRET OF KINGS (CG102) | C K Tong | B/TT | 5Ls back in 9th on fence at 800 M, travelled strongly turning for home when without room, ran on well once clear for a place. |
4 | 10 | WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) | O Doleuze | -- | 5Ls back in 8th out 2-wide during the middle stages, 2Ls back in 5th with place prospects at the furlong pole, couldn't follow through. |
5 | 3 | WHATABOB (CD213) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Box-seated in 3rd or 4th on fence about 2Ls from the speed until home turn, 1L down when checked on fence at 200 M, didn't recover in time. |
6 | 4 | ROYAL PERICLES (CH050) | W M Lai | B/XB | Disputed early pace on fence, over-raced a little at halfway and 2Ls clear turning for home, headed at the 200 M and one-paced close home. |
7 | 11 | FIRST AMONG EQUALS (CC327) | Y T Cheng | B | 8Ls last early on, still in rear when 6Ls back off last turn, finished off pretty well to be nearest at the finish. |
8 | 7 | MASTER POWER (CG318) | M Nunes | B | Went back from wide gate, 8Ls last at halfway and much the same on straightening, ran on well down centre of the track, never nearer. |
9 | 9 | VISIONARIO (CJ095) | G Mosse | H | In 10th about 6Ls off speed at the 600 M, made some decent late headway without ever posing much of a threat. |
10 | 6 | O'REILLY RALLY (CH266) | K L Chui | TT | 3-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls back in 5th at the 800 M and a little closer turning for home, faded after extra work told in the final 300 M. |
11 | 5 | GALLANT CHAMPION (CJ002) | B Prebble | -- | 7Ls back in 11th at halfway, still well back when widest (4-wide) turning for home, always comfortably held. |
12 | 14 | CHEERFUL MASTER (CE309) | H W Lai | B/TT | 3-back on fence when 4Ls off speed at the 600 M, never looked like playing a significant role. |
13 | 12 | SICHUAN HERO (CJ044) | G Boss | B | Slowest away by about 2Ls, worse than midfield on fence about 6Ls back at halfway, remained a fair way from the pace. |
14 | 2 | INDUSTRIAL MARVEL (CG188) | M Du Plessis | -- | Disputed early pace out 3-wide no cover and between 1L and 2Ls back in 2nd until home straight, swamped by the 200 M. |
