Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) | G Boss | -- | 8Ls adrift in 11th early on, 6Ls last and widest into home straight, stayed on very strongly to get up right on the wire. |
2 | 9 | WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) | B Prebble | B/TT | 6Ls behind speed in 8th out 2-wide at 1000 M, headway from the 500 M, ran on well in the straight but missed the win in last bound. |
3 | 12 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | D Beadman | XB/TT | 9Ls last 1000 M out, circled the field 3-wide no cover from 600 M to lead at top of home straight, grabbed by quinella pair in final strides. |
4 | 3 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | O Doleuze | -- | On the rails 7Ls down in 9th at 1000 M, shuffled back to second last turning for home, ran on well late, nearest at finish. |
5 | 11 | BILLION (CH316) | Y T Cheng | -- | Box-seated in 3rd at 1000 M, 2Ls back in 4th off final bend, had his chance to place but lacked the dash. |
6 | 1 | BEST POWER (CG006) | G Mosse | B/TT | 4-back on rails about 5Ls behind speed in 7th at 1000 M, shuffled back to 10th into homestretch, made some good late ground, never nearer. |
7 | 7 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | C W Wong | TT | Led by 1L from 1000 M, headed just before the turn for home and one-paced on the run-in. |
8 | 4 | SOLAR (CC198) | C K Tong | B/TT | Awkward break, 8Ls back in 10th out 2-wide at 1000 M, 5Ls down in 9th entering straight, stayed there. |
9 | 10 | BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) | W M Lai | -- | Nice position on rails in 4th about 4Ls from early pace, same margin behind but hard ridden turning for home, gave ground. |
10 | 8 | ROMANTIC GREEN (CG123) | F Coetzee | BO/TT | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1100 M, 1L back in 3rd swinging for home, weakened rapidly and no excuses. |
11 | 5 | DON RICARDO (CE262) | K T Yeung | -- | 5Ls back in 6th at 1000 M, ridden along to remain in touch off last bend, dropped out tamely. |
12 | 6 | KOWLOON FIT (CE247) | D Whyte | -- | 4Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at 1100 M, closer on straightening, very disappointing finish and eased late. |
