Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | SWEET SANETTE (CL103) | G Cheyne | -- | Showed good speed to lead and went a strong gallop through the early and middle stages, was taken on making the turn but quickened well 350 M out to extend her lead, kept on determinedly to the line and won in track record time. |
2 | 10 | ST FEVRE (CL002) | M Chadwick | TT | Close enough in 5th, made good headway over final 250 M to go 2nd in late stages but offered no threat to the runaway winner. |
3 | 11 | HOLEY DOLLAR (CK118) | J Lloyd | H | Broke well, went forward before the turn to take on the leader, all out in straight but was gradually outpaced by the impressive winner, turned flat and lost 2nd close home. |
4 | 5 | NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) | M W Leung | B/TT | Crossed to the fence passing 800 M then held up just behind the pace, kept on well enough but never looked like getting near to the leaders. |
5 | 3 | PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) | G Mosse | -- | Held up in last about 6Ls behind the lead, had plenty to make up off the bend, ran on well final 200 M and did best work late. |
6 | 1 | FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) | D Whyte | -- | Taken back to a midfield position with cover but was a shade keen in middle stages, edged out into clear 300 M, stayed on but not reaching leaders. |
7 | 7 | CANNONISE (CD377) | T H So | B/TT | Caught 3-wide with no cover behind leading pair, remained at the same pace in straight and never looked dangerous to the leaders. |
8 | 9 | ISLAND SUPER (CH297) | W M Lai | TT | Lacked pace and had to be driven along in early stages, towards the rear throughout and didn't find much when put under pressure. Never threatened. |
9 | 8 | DIAMOND BRILLIANCE (CH002) | A Suborics | TT | Positioned on the fence just ahead of mid-division, lacked any acceleration when asked and had no extra left final 100 M. |
10 | 2 | KILDARE (CJ198) | B Doyle | SR-/CP1 | Began awkwardly and ended up behind midfield about 4Ls off the pace, couldn't lengthen his stride when needed. Never any impression. |
11 | 6 | WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (CH145) | J Victoire | CP-/B1 | Dropped back after the start and was difficult to settle in early stages, swung 3-wide into straight and could only make limited progress inside final 200 M. |
12 | 4 | BLAZE KING (CK104) | Z Purton | TT- | Restrained to a 3-wide position in midfield on jumping from draw 12, didn't pick up at all when asked inside 350 M and ran well below par. |
