Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) | M Chadwick | TT | Towards rear at least 6Ls from speed before straightening, quickened up nicely out wide to lead at the 100 M, won with plenty in hand. |
2 | 6 | TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) | B Doyle | B | Midfield with cover down the back, 4Ls down turning in 7th out 3-wide, no match for winner but went 2nd about 50 M out and held onto quinella. |
3 | 7 | GREAT SUPREME (CJ027) | B Prebble | -- | Led early on, handed up advantage at 1000 M, raced 2nd before leading again 300 M out, headed again by the winner 100 M out, lost 2nd at 50 M, got 3rd. |
4 | 1 | FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) | D Whyte | B | Midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls back until the final turn, briefly tight for room at 150 M but always outpaced by the principal trio. |
5 | 14 | EAST RIDER (CK283) | T H So | TT | Much improved run, one from rear until the final 400 M at least 8Ls from the front, stayed on well to be nearest at the finish. |
6 | 10 | SURE GOOD (CJ240) | K C Leung | B/TT1 | On fence between 2Ls and 3Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th at halfway, same turning for home, had every opportunity, failed to quicken up sufficiently. |
7 | 2 | NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) | W C Marwing | -- | 3-wide no cover briefly down the back in 5th or so, much closer 1L back in 3rd off last bend, had every chance to place but failed to follow through. |
8 | 13 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Crossed from wide gate to lead at the 1000 M and soon 2Ls clear, headed 300 M out and steadily slipped out of contention. |
9 | 5 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | W M Lai | B | Always worse than midfield, 8Ls back in 10th at halfway, kept chasing the majority of the field. |
10 | 12 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | G Cheyne | -- | Never better than midfield, 11th at the 800 M, 5Ls back turning for home when under pressure, outpaced. |
11 | 3 | GOLD CITY (CJ322) | J Winks | -- | Crossed from widest gate to race handily in 4th at 1000 M, still close enough turning for home but found very little off the bit and yielded ground rapidly. |
12 | 8 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | C K Tong | B/TT | Never going well, last and niggled along down the back straight, plodded on past two beaten rivals in the straight. |
13 | 11 | GREAT SHOW (CK001) | K W Leung | B | 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, held a midfield position before the last bend but quickly faded in the straight after the extra work. |
14 | 4 | WESTERN STAR (CK299) | Z Purton | CP1 | 4-back the rails and 6Ls off pace at the 1000 M, same margin behind and struggling on straightening, folded tamely. |
