Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | COUNTRY MAGIC (CH069) | K L Chui | TT | Standard jump, held spot on leaders back, had ideal trail in middle stages 2-3Ls back, close enough on bend, switched on turning, gradually overhauled leader and held off a late challenge to score. |
2 | 8 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | W M Lai | BO | Out in line, ended up 3Ls back on fence, had a quiet time in run, travelled well on bend, took run between horses and made good impression last 200 M going down narrowly in finish. |
3 | 6 | WINE WIN (CG018) | B Prebble | B- | Bounced out, lead easily at a reasonable tempo with pressure from outside horses, continued to defy them on turning, kicked strongly and only lost top spot last 50 M. |
4 | 11 | VICTORY CONQUEROR (CJ230) | D Beadman | TT | Ordinary getaway, ended up 5-6Ls back sharing rear, aided by tempo, still well back 2-wide on bend, made many lengths between horses in straight to finish a nice 4th. (Steadied 100 M.) |
5 | 10 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | K T Yeung | XB/TT | Began with rest, faded back to race 3-wide behind midfield 6Ls away, improved very wide throughout, 4Ls down turning, kept coming in straight making late ground to be closest at finish. |
6 | 9 | HAR HAR CHARMS (CE100) | F Coetzee | -- | Began well, raced outside leader on solid speed, always pressured by outside horse, kept working on bend, struggling to pick up turning and folded from 150 M. |
7 | 4 | THUNDER DANCING (CG250) | H W Lai | B | Fair to begin, went forward in search of spot, raced untractably 3-wide outside leaders, always working without cover, under pressure rounding bend, drifted out and gradually tired in straight when workload took toll. |
8 | 2 | CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) | D Whyte | -- | Standard jump, ended up 5Ls back on fence, not used in middle stages, took inside runs on bend, lacked a response on turning and struggled in run to line. (Didn't handle surface.) |
9 | 3 | ESPERANZA (CG159) | G Mosse | B | Away in line but soon drifted back to race with last few, raced 3-wide with cover, still well back and pushed along turning, made some ground before run ended at 200 M. |
10 | 1 | TOY STORY (CJ217) | G Boss | -- | Little pace from outset, soon at rear 7Ls back on fence, helped by pace, still well back on bend, made limited progress but did pass a couple late. |
11 | 5 | OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) | Z Purton | -- | Well enough to begin, ended up behind pace 3Ls back in 2-wide line, had fair trip trailing speed, pushed along approaching bend, dropped out tamely lacking usual finish. |
12 | 12 | WINNESSY (CH293) | Y T Cheng | -- | Slow to begin, settled 6Ls back with last few on rails, aided by pace, not travelling well on bend, didn't make headway in straight and battled in run to line. |
