Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | GO LUCKY GO (CJ320) | B Prebble | -- | Eased back 9Ls behind solid speed in rear in middle stages, quickened up nicely from top of home straight to lead 150 M out, kept on strongly. |
2 | 11 | SMART KNIGHT (CK052) | Y T Cheng | -- | 4th about 4Ls off initial speed, 3rd and still 4Ls back off last bend, upsides with every chance at 200 M, easily held by winner, probably better for further. |
3 | 5 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | G Mosse | B | 3-wide no cover in places in 8th down back straight, over 5Ls behind taking final turn, a neck down in 3rd at the 200 M, run peaked but held a place okay. |
4 | 12 | PEARL HALO (CJ023) | K C Leung | B/TT | Midfield with cover roughly 5Ls from speed through to final bend, challenging over 1L off lead at the 200 M while hanging in, one-paced to wrap up. |
5 | 8 | MARBLE RED (CK160) | J Winks | -- | 12th about 8Ls from the speed at the 1000 M and still well back taking final bend, considerably closer at the 200 M but couldn't follow through. |
6 | 6 | COOL CAT (CH330) | M Chadwick | B | Raced 2nd about 2Ls behind the strong pace until the home turn, swamped at around the furlong pole having gone a bit too quickly. |
7 | 7 | HUSSLER (CJ323) | D Whyte | B1 | Raced 3rd until the 600 M but a little green and wayward on debut, faded out of the picture in the home straight. |
8 | 1 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | W C Marwing | B | Set a fast pace and about 2Ls to the good until the final turn, came back to the field at the final furlong and dropped away. |
9 | 9 | PLOT RATIO (CK044) | B Doyle | SR | Worse than midfield about 7Ls from pace in 10th out 2-wide until the home straight, launched a brief bid but held inside the final furlong. |
10 | 2 | AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) | S K Sit | B | 3-back on rails in mid-division about 5Ls or 6Ls from the fast speed, tepid finish. |
11 | 13 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | H W Lai | B/TT | Slow to muster pace, always rearward, 10Ls behind turning for home, very one-paced. |
12 | 3 | GALACTIC TACTIC (CH095) | W M Lai | -- | Caught 3-wide no cover throughout, close-up in 5th or so at the 1000 M, hard pressed to keep this close off home turn, dropped out quickly. |
13 | 14 | ZABEEL TREASURE (CK126) | C K Tong | P | Always a long way off the pace and ceded further ground in conclusion, performance deemed unacceptable. |
14 | 10 | POTPOURRI (CK142) | E Saint-Martin | SR-/B1/TT | Awkward break, never travelling well in rear and eased down a long way out in the straight, performance was unacceptable. |
