Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | GOLD CITY (CJ322) | J Winks | -- | Raced 2nd about a neck behind a sedate pace down the back, led at top of home straight, 1L clear at the 200 M, always doing enough to secure the win. |
2 | 4 | SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) | Z Purton | B2 | 1L back in 3rd but mostly 3-wide no cover behind slow pace in first half, same margin behind off home turn and at 200 M, kept on evenly for 2nd. |
3 | 1 | MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) | D Whyte | V | Better break than normal, 5Ls back 12th at halfway behind slow pace and much the same turning in, finished off well to nick 3rd in final strides. |
4 | 7 | SUPREME COMMANDER (CJ112) | K C Leung | -- | In 5th or 6th with cover no worse than 2Ls or 3Ls from the speed until final bend, 1L down at the 200 M, no extra and done out of a place late on. |
5 | 3 | GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) | B Prebble | B | Slowest away, 6Ls behind steady pace one from rear at 1000 M, retrieved some good late ground in the straight, never nearer for 5th. |
6 | 13 | COOL RUNNINGS (CK014) | M Du Plessis | -- | Awkward break, on the leader's back 2Ls off in 5th or so through to the home straight, had his chance to place but was one-paced again. |
7 | 12 | GIANT BLIZZARD (CJ171) | W M Lai | SR | Pressed on from wide gate to set a steady pace by a neck on the fence at the 1000 M, headed at the top of the home straight, weakened final 200 M. |
8 | 10 | BEST NOODLE (CJ278) | K L Chui | TT | Checked early on and 3-back on fence about 4Ls from speed down back straight, tight for room from 300 M to 200 M but never dangerous late on. |
9 | 11 | SUPER BOBO (CJ116) | H W Lai | B/TT | Taken back to rear and not suited by the steady pace, ran on past a few beaten rivals in the straight. (Questioned.) |
10 | 5 | MAMMA MIA (CK053) | O Doleuze | BO1 | Midfield with cover about 3Ls from the speed until the home turn, found nothing off the bridle, another disappointing run. |
11 | 9 | FOREVER FORTUNE (CG145) | Y T Cheng | B | 4-wide no cover throughout, close-up through first half but the extra ground he covered exacted its toll in the home straight. |
12 | 8 | DASH (CG236) | C W Wong | -- | 4Ls behind the initial tempo, shuffled back a little and struggling entering home straight, soon dropped off. |
