Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | PACHINKO (CH208) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Lost ground at the start and soon 7Ls adrift in rear, edged closer turning in, helped by fast pace to lead out wide on the line. |
2 | 11 | WONDERFUL GAINS (CK050) | D Whyte | -- | Parked behind fast early pace in midfield, 4Ls behind off last bend when held up for about 100 M, ran on strongly once clear, only just denied, unlucky. |
3 | 13 | STAY YOUNG (CD109) | K C Leung | -- | In front rank within 1L of a fast tempo until home straight, stayed on gamely in the final 400 M, solid effort to take 3rd. |
4 | 5 | SOU MA TAM (CH253) | J Victoire | B | Disputed early pace on fence and skipped 1L clear turning for home, headed about 200 M out and steadily faded out of the money. |
5 | 1 | TRUE INTELLIGENCE (CK060) | O Doleuze | -- | Best away but opted to track the leading quartet on fence down back straight, led about 300 M out but headed about 100 M out, had his chance. |
6 | 3 | GO LUCKY GO (CJ320) | Y T Cheng | -- | Better than midfield about 2-1/2Ls from the lead through to final bend, had his chance to at least place but lacked the turn of foot. |
7 | 4 | REGENCY KINGDOM (CK031) | C Soumillon | TT | Midfield down backstretch, shuffled back slightly on the circle and never very dangerous in the final third. |
8 | 9 | GREAT UNITY (CJ209) | G Mosse | -- | Always slightly worse than midfield at least 4Ls or 5Ls behind a strong pace. |
9 | 7 | AMITYSHIP (CK023) | H W Lai | B1/TT | Always slightly worse than midfield at least 4Ls or 5Ls behind a strong pace, recovered very minor late ground down centre of the track. |
10 | 10 | LANCELOT (CJ271) | M Du Plessis | B1 | Went back from wide gate, about 8Ls off the pace until straightening, one-paced to wrap up. |
11 | 12 | BE MY SONG (CH272) | M L Yeung | V/H | Fractious in gates, disputed fast early tempo out 3-wide with cover, weakened in the straight. (Bled.) |
12 | 14 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | M W Leung | SR/V | Trapped 4-wide no cover throughout but still pressed on to lead 800 M out, retreated swiftly from top of home straight. |
13 | 6 | ALL PROFIT (CK068) | S K Sit | -- | Always well back at least 7Ls from the pace, never a factor. |
14 | 8 | GOLDEN BOY (CJ263) | Z Purton | B- | Unacceptable performance, in touch down the back straight but very weak inside the final 600 M and eased down a long way out. |
