Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | BLAZE KING (CK104) | K T Yeung | -- | Over-raced a little early on and let stride to the front to lead by 1L or so at 600 M, always holding a slender margin from runner-up in final 200 M. |
2 | 8 | TUSCAN SPIRIT (CK055) | D Whyte | -- | 1L off the early pace vying for 2nd on stand's side, a neck down in 2nd at the 200 M, had every chance but couldn't overhaul the winner. |
3 | 14 | KINGIFLY (CG020) | H W Lai | TT | Tracked runner-up from stand's rail in midfield until the 200 M when 2Ls back in 4th, didn't have much hope with quinella pair but comfortably held 3rd. |
4 | 1 | SILENT DRAGON (CG200) | C K Tong | CP/XB | Raced at winner and pacesetter's quarters until the 200 M, outpaced by quinella pair in final furlong and missed a place. |
5 | 5 | GOOD DISHES (CJ224) | Y T Cheng | -- | Around midfield about 2Ls from the speed through to final 200 M, ran on past a few tired rivals in closing stages. |
6 | 2 | KINDACROSS (CG041) | M Chadwick | XB/TT | Travelled well enough in midfield about 2Ls from the speed at halfway, outpaced late on and stayed in midfield. |
7 | 11 | EXTRA SPECIAL (CJ213) | E Saint-Martin | CP2 | Towards rear about 3Ls from the speed at halfway, couldn't live with the principals in final section. |
8 | 10 | GO DAN GO (CJ327) | Z Purton | -- | One from rear about 5Ls behind early speed, pressured to maintain that same proximity at halfway, never on terms with main players. |
9 | 7 | WIND KNIGHT (CJ326) | M L Yeung | SR | No better than midfield about 3Ls from the speed until halfway, lost further ground late on. |
10 | 4 | WHISKY POWER (CH291) | M W Leung | H | Midfield or better about 2Ls behind the speed through to final 400 M, very one-paced to conclude. |
11 | 13 | SUPER CAGA (CK054) | F Coetzee | -- | Awkward break, towards far in midfield at first, very weak through final 300 M. |
12 | 6 | MASTER CRISTO (CH321) | W M Lai | -- | Disputed early speed, began to lose touch from the halfway point and eased down late when all chance had gone. |
13 | 12 | SOARING RIVER (CK137) | B Doyle | SR1 | Slowly away, under pressure early on in rear, 7Ls last at halfway, never a factor. |
14 | 3 | MR COOL (CD071) | P H Lo | B/TT | In touch in midfield at first but began to struggle at halfway and faded out rapidly in final 300 M. |
