Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | DASH (CG236) | W M Lai | B | Awkward break, held 'one-out-one-back' position 2Ls or 3Ls off speed in 4th until home straight, responded to pressure to lead 100 M out, kept on well. |
2 | 4 | GOLDEN TREASURE (CJ087) | D Whyte | -- | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1200 M, always prominent and led 300 M out, no answer when headed by the winner about 100 M from the line, just held 2nd. |
3 | 2 | NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) | B Doyle | B1 | Hampered early on but recovered to race in midfield about 4Ls from speed at halfway, stayed on fairly well in the straight to place. |
4 | 6 | SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) | W C Marwing | -- | Caught 4-wide no cover before pressing on to lead on the rails by 1L at the 700 M, headed about 300 M out and one-paced and tipped out of placings late on. |
5 | 3 | CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Didn't travel early on, at least 10Ls adrift at first and detached at point of home turn, ran on quite well in the straight, never nearer. |
6 | 1 | BREAKING POINT (CJ179) | D Beadman | PC | Slowly away, 3-back the rails initially and 4-back when 6Ls down in 9th at 800 M, still with plenty to do off the home turn, one-paced to conclude. |
7 | 13 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | M Du Plessis | -- | Hampered early on, got back as usual and 7Ls behind at halfway, retrieved a little late ground in the home straight. |
8 | 9 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | H W Lai | -- | One from rear about 8Ls from the lead in middle stages and still well behind on straightening, recovered some late headway without really threatening. |
9 | 12 | BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) | K L Chui | TT | Box-seated at the 1200 M in 4th but slipped back to 4Ls from the front when taking home turn, plodded on home at the one speed. |
10 | 10 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | Y T Cheng | B | 5Ls back in 8th at 1000 M, a little tight for room before home straight but didn't find much when clear shortly afterwards. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
11 | 11 | PEARL HALO (CJ023) | C K Tong | TT | Prominent at first but left 3-wide no cover from 700 M to home straight about 4Ls from the speed around midfield, weakened out steadily. |
12 | 8 | JOY TRUMPS (CD242) | G Mosse | B/TT | Hung in during middle stages when rearward and about 6Ls behind the speed, very weak from top of home straight. |
13 | 5 | TREASURE HUNT (CJ348) | F Coetzee | TT | Led by 1L at 1200 M, headed at 800 M and checked on fence soon after, 3Ls down in 3rd and weakening off last bend, ceded further ground. |
