Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | Z Purton | TT | Best away, eased back into 'one-out-one-back' slot in 4th from 1000 M to 600 M, pressed on 3-wide turning in, led 150 M out, ridden out strongly. |
2 | 3 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | K C Leung | B1 | 3-back the fence about 4Ls off pace at 1000 M, closer turning for home, dangerous when 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, couldn't quite follow through. |
3 | 11 | WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) | P H Lo | B/TT | Enjoyed a soft trail on fence in 3rd or 4th about 2Ls behind lead until final turn, all out to just snare a place. |
4 | 1 | DASHING THUNDER (CD080) | W M Lai | B2 | 4-back on rails in 7th at 1200 M, same position and 4Ls back swinging for home, kept on pretty well along the inner, just missed a place. |
5 | 6 | WIND KNIGHT (CJ326) | C K Tong | SR | 2-wide in 8th or so some 6Ls back at 1100 M, with about 5Ls to make up at 400 M, kept on okay but never likely to trouble principals. |
6 | 5 | SUPREME GOLD (CH205) | M Chadwick | B2/TT | Led by 1L at the 1200 M, joined for the lead from 600 M to home turn, 1L clear at 300 M with every chance, swamped inside final furlong. |
7 | 2 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | J Lloyd | CP | Taken back from widest gate, 7Ls behind at halfway, 6Ls adrift on straightening, made some moderate late ground, never nearer. |
8 | 4 | HOLIDAY SUN (CJ328) | A Gryder | CP | Slowest away, on the rails and 7Ls back in 10th at 1200 M, marginally closer turning in, recovered some late ground without really threatening. |
9 | 9 | MARBLE RED (CK160) | W C Marwing | -- | Never travelling very well, 5Ls back in 6th at halfway with cover, closer turning for home but pressured, flat in the finish. (Questioned for performance.) |
10 | 10 | ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) | Y T Cheng | -- | No early pace and caught 3-wide no cover from the top of the back straight in a worse-than-midfield position, never likely in the home straight. |
11 | 12 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | W Pike | B | Eased back, 8Ls last in middle stages, tried to loop field from the 500 M, widest and 5Ls adrift off last bend, could not land a blow. |
12 | 7 | GOLDEN BALL (CH128) | D Beadman | B2 | Caught wide on first bend, pressed on to be 1L back in 2nd at 1100 M, disputed lead out 2-wide at 600 M, fizzled out from top of home straight. |
