Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 13 | GUNNER MAC (CJ192) | O Doleuze | -- | Slow to begin and 5Ls away early on, stealthy headway through to the field to be 1L down at 200 M, kept on well to lead inside final 30 M. |
2 | 10 | IRISH JIG (CJ125) | D Beadman | TT | Midfield at first and vied for the front from the 400 M to 200 M, had every chance to win but outpaced by GUNNER MAC late in the piece. |
3 | 1 | ISLAND SPEED (CG202) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Midfield or better towards stands' rail between 1L and 2Ls from the speed until the furlong pole, ran on well late for a place. |
4 | 8 | HIGH MARK (CJ197) | Y T Cheng | -- | Quietly handled in centre at first, headway to challenge 400 M out and given every chance to at least place, tended to hang a little in final stages. |
5 | 2 | BUNDLE O' GOLD (CJ311) | B Prebble | XB1 | Close up before being sent to the front 300 M out, hauled back by the front quartet inside the final 100 M, solid debut nonetheless. |
6 | 7 | DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) | K L Chui | -- | Midfield initially before being sent on to join a line of six vying for the lead 400 M out, fractionally held by the principals inside final 200 M. |
7 | 14 | WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) | K C Leung | H | Tacked across to far side, about 1L from the pace at halfway, held by a similar margin to the line despite hanging left inside final 100 M. |
8 | 4 | HIT SONG (CJ232) | M Du Plessis | -- | A neck down in 2nd soon after the jump and disputing the advantage 400 M out, swamped at the furlong pole and held thereafter. |
9 | 9 | ELEGANT WIN (CG297) | D Whyte | B | Disappointing run, never really on terms with principals when worse than midfield and at least 2Ls or 3Ls from the speed throughout. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
10 | 5 | WARRIOR (CH066) | Z Purton | -- | Made the early running along the stands' rail, joined at the 400 M and offered little in response as most of the remainder tore past inside the final 300 M. |
11 | 6 | ADAIKALI (CE181) | H W Lai | CP | Veered across to far rail and on terms with the speed at halfway, couldn't lie up when tempo increased again inside final 300 M. |
12 | 3 | ROYAL PERICLES (CH050) | W M Lai | B/XB | Awkward break and slow to muster pace, 2Ls off pace in a second line of pursuers at the 400 M, outpaced by the majority. |
13 | 11 | HURRICANE DASH (CJ186) | W C Marwing | XB/TT | Slowest away, tried to tack across to main body of field from far draw, struggling in rear throughout. |
14 | 12 | PICKETT (CG155) | P H Lo | -- | About 4Ls off pace towards rear early on and got within 2Ls of the front at halfway but retreated hastily inside final furlong. |
