Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | GOOD BOY BOY (CK388) | Z Purton | -- | Raced in second position, 1 off. Hit the front near the 200 M and found something extra to draw a margin over the concluding stages. |
2 | 8 | RIDE ON THE FIRE (M137) | M Guyon | TT1 | Travelled 2-wide behind the leaders. Loomed up approaching the 250 M, and maintained a sound gallop all the way to the post. |
3 | 2 | DANE PATROL (CL078) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Speared straight to the front along the paint. Held a narrow advantage for most of the trip but was collard near the 200 M. Gave ground late. |
4 | 6 | AMAZING SKY (CL229) | G Cheyne | B | Jumped awkwardly then was crowded shortly after the start parking behind midfield the fence. Closed off well to finish in the frame. |
5 | 7 | ELUSIVE PRINCE (M012) | D Whyte | -- | Not the best to begin, settling close to midfield the fence with cover. Kept to the inside in the home straight and worked home steadily without threatening. |
6 | 10 | MEGABUCKS (CJ301) | B Doyle | V | Camped behind midfield 2-wide with cover. Battled away over the final furlong. |
7 | 11 | BENEFACTOR (CL332) | C K Tong | H | Ridden along early travelling just ahead of midfield, 1 off with cover. Lost some ground after the 600 M and was one paced in the final stretch. |
8 | 1 | TURIN CHAMPION (M060) | T H So | -- | Raced with the leading trio 3-wide without cover on the turn passing the 600 M. Not likely and gave ground after the 300 M. |
9 | 5 | HAR HAR CHARMS (CE100) | W M Lai | -- | Began awkwardly settling behind midfield 3 deep with cover. Came widest over the final stages but only plugged to the line. |
10 | 12 | INFALLIBLE CHOICE (CK341) | H W Lai | B/XB/H | Took time to muster speed before spearing forward under hard riding to settle behind the leading division. Caught 3 to 4-wide on the circle without cover. Faded in the run home. |
11 | 9 | TELECOM NEW STAR (M084) | B Prebble | -- | Travelled at the rear some distance off the bulk of the field. Ran out very wide making the turn after the 600 M and was never a factor thereafter. (To trial.) |
12 | 4 | GRAND STORE (CH087) | M L Yeung | -- | Was taken back from the outside gate settling well back. Struggled in the home straight. (See racing Incident report.) |
