Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | MY GOAL (CJ131) | Y T Cheng | -- | Handily placed in midfield with cover no worse than 3Ls from the speed before final bend, quickened up well to lead 150 M out, pulled clear. |
2 | 2 | NAPA II (CJ248) | D Beadman | -- | Taken back from widest gate, towards rear 3-wide with cover and 6Ls off speed at halfway, stayed on from well back to get 2nd late on but no threat to winner. |
3 | 3 | AMBITIOUS OWNER (CJ106) | K T Yeung | B/XB/TT | 3-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls off pace at 800 M and led at top of home straight, headed by winner at 150 M and lost 2nd close home. (Tactic questioned.) |
4 | 9 | SMART KNIGHT (CK052) | M L Yeung | -- | Midfield 4Ls behind early pace, left 4-wide on the circle and 3Ls back turning for home, one-paced thereafter and had his chance to place. |
5 | 13 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | M Du Plessis | -- | 3-back on the rails about 4Ls back in midfield in middle stages, always outpaced by the top trio. |
6 | 1 | RAISING SUN (CK154) | P H Lo | -- | Did not break well and worked hard to lead by 1L at 1000 M on fence, headed shortly after straightening and one-paced to conclude. |
7 | 6 | ON SHAN BRAVE (CH230) | K C Leung | SR/V | 2-wide and 1L off pace vying for 2nd down the back straight, still there with every chance off final bend, weakened steadily. |
8 | 11 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | C K Tong | B/TT | At least 6Ls off pace at 1000 M in rear, still well back and struggling turning for home, made no impact. (Not fully tested final 100 M.) |
9 | 7 | PRIVATE ROAD (CK189) | W C Marwing | -- | Slightly worse than midfield throughout, 4Ls off pace down the back, a little held up at top of home straight but he was well held anyway. |
10 | 8 | SUPER SURVEYS (CJ306) | J Winks | B/XB1 | Had a nice spot with cover in 5th initially but over-raced in places, 3Ls back in 7th turning for home, very weak in the closing stages. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
11 | 12 | WING MASTER (CK258) | W M Lai | B/TT2 | On the leader's back on the fence less than 2Ls from the speed until the final turn, dropped away very tamely given his very soft passage. |
12 | 5 | JUNGLE TREASURE (CJ277) | J Lloyd | -- | Fractious in gates and slow to begin, 7Ls last at the 1000 M, marginally closer but still in rear turning for home, very weak conclusion. |
13 | 14 | DASH (CG236) | C W Wong | -- | Never travelling well and always at least 5Ls from the speed, dropped out rapidly from top of home straight, to trial. |
14 | 4 | HAPPY PROGRESSION (CJ313) | H W Lai | B | Worse than midfield down back straight but began to struggle at the 600 M, unacceptably weak in the home straight, to trial. |
