Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | NORDIC STAR (CH302) | D Whyte | TT | 5Ls back in midfield at 1000 M, attacked enterprisingly out wide from the 500 M to lead at top of home straight, always holding a break thereafter. |
2 | 9 | CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) | D Beadman | B/TT | Towards rear tracking winner 6Ls off speed at 1000 M, followed NORDIC STAR'S winning move on the circle and stayed on best of the rest. |
3 | 11 | AMAZING ME (CH080) | S K Sit | XB/TT | 9Ls last at the 1200 M, 5-wide (widest of all) and one from rear swinging for home, stayed on well to nick a place near the line. |
4 | 8 | DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) | K T Yeung | SR | Best away and held 'one-out-one-back' spot until straightening, left flat-footed by winner's burst forward 500 M out, one-paced to conclude. (Questioned.) |
5 | 6 | SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) | W C Marwing | -- | Slow to muster early speed, 4-back along rails 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, made some minor late ground but posed no great threat overall. |
6 | 2 | ELECTRONIC MASTER (CJ135) | B Prebble | -- | Pressed forward from 3-wide no cover position to dispute pace from 1000 M to home straight, weakened inside final furlong. |
7 | 1 | SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) | C W Wong | -- | Crossed from widest gate to lead by 1L at 1300 M, joined from 1000 M to the 400 M, petered out weakly once headed by the winner at top of stretch. (Tactic questioned.) |
8 | 4 | NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) | B Doyle | B | 4Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at 1000 M, closer taking final bend, had his chance but was very one-paced. |
9 | 12 | REAL REJOICING (CH202) | Y T Cheng | B-/TT | Box-seated early on and still nicely placed in 4th on the rails turning in, lacked any kind of acceleration. |
10 | 10 | MEATH (CE143) | H W Lai | SR/V | 3-back along rails in 5th at 1000 M, 3Ls down in 6th off last bend and could only plod on harmlessly. |
11 | 3 | ESPACE D'OR (CJ189) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Fractious in gates, always rearward and 7Ls back at 1200 M and 5Ls down in 10th off last corner when under pressure, laboured finish. |
12 | 7 | TOUCH MORE (CJ180) | Z Purton | B | Soon well back in rear, struggling when 7Ls adrift at the 500 M, never on terms. (Tactic questioned.) |
