Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | TRULLI (CH327) | O Doleuze | B/TT | 6Ls or 7Ls back in 11th early and still with plenty of ground to make up entering straight, finished very strongly to lead inside final 30 M. |
2 | 5 | BEJEWELED (CH289) | C K Tong | -- | About 4Ls back in 4th on fence initially, closer turning in and briefly led 150 M out, no answer to winner's late swoop but held 2nd gamely. |
3 | 2 | GUNNER MAC (CJ192) | D Whyte | -- | 2 and 3-wide with cover 5Ls off early pace, unleashed a strong challenge from top of stretch and upsides with every chance 50 M out, no extra. |
4 | 9 | REUNION (CE258) | W M Lai | TT | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1000 M and much the same off last corner, briefly led 200 M out but faded out of the placed runners inside final 50 M. |
5 | 1 | SPRING SUN (CJ128) | D Beadman | -- | 3-back on fence 5Ls off the speed at the 800 M and edged a little closer at final turn, ran on okay without troubling the principals. |
6 | 6 | GUAN DAO (CH211) | Y T Cheng | -- | Between 2Ls and 3Ls from the speed in 3rd through to the home straight, 1L down and with definite place prospects at 200 M, couldn't sustain the run. |
7 | 7 | DUMBARTON ROCK (CJ228) | M Du Plessis | TT | Slow away, 4-back on rails towards rear at least 6Ls from the lead until straightening, made a little headway but posed no great danger. |
8 | 4 | MAGIC CHARIOT (CH094) | B Prebble | B-/P1/H/TT | 3-wide no cover throughout, midfield early on but advanced to be 3Ls down in 5th swinging for home, tired inside final furlong. |
9 | 14 | FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) | F Coetzee | -- | 2-wide and 5Ls behind early speed, similar margin back in 9th into final 400 M, always held. |
10 | 3 | KUNG FU (CE289) | G Boss | P/H | Led by 1L on fence at 1000 M, enjoyed a soft lead and still clear taking final bend, headed 200 M out and surrendered tamely late. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
11 | 12 | NORDIC STAR (CH302) | H W Lai | TT | Always rearward, 7Ls or 8Ls behind until entrance to homestretch, always chasing the majority of the field. |
12 | 13 | STAREILLY (CJ083) | K L Chui | TT | 4Ls back in 5th at the 800 M and in the same position on straightening, outpaced and yielded ground final 200 M while hanging out. |
13 | 11 | MASSIVE STAR (CJ126) | C W Wong | -- | Slowest away, always last, 8Ls back at 800 M and became further detached in the straight, poor run. |
