Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | BEST FIT (M135) | M Chadwick | TT1 | Slightly slow out, quickly recovered to take up running holding less than a length’s advantage, flanked by eventual runner-ups closing stages but fought on well to defy their late challenges. |
2 | 13 | CHINA GOOD (CL258) | B Doyle | SR | Began fairly, gradually settled in last few, commenced move from halfway out picking up nicely to just fail to get up on line. |
3 | 1 | CHEETAH BOY (CL192) | Z Purton | B/H | Broke well, settled just off the speed in 3rd or 4th, came to challenge inside final 300 M, unable to draw level throughout closing stages. |
4 | 3 | THE PRINCE (CL241) | G Mosse | B | Began moderately, not too far off about 2Ls off the lead, badly jostled and lost position about 600 M out, soon recovered but wasn’t good enough to be threatening. |
5 | 14 | NOBLE VISION (M040) | G Cheyne | CP-/B1 | Began fairly, settled in rear, hampered over 600 M out, similar onto course proper when shifting in for a clear run, fought on steadily but without threatening the leading trio. |
6 | 11 | MY MELODY (CJ157) | O Doleuze | B/XB/TT | Settled in midfield travelling down the centre of the track without cover, ran home steadily under pressure without quickening. |
7 | 5 | BREEZE OF LUCK (CL124) | B Prebble | -- | Slightly slow out, settled in last few, picked up steadily along grandstand rails to reach midfield approaching course proper, kept on steadily without quickening. |
8 | 6 | EPATANT (CL349) | K C Leung | -- | Travelled well within 2Ls of pace, came under pressure to hold position passing the 300 M mark, faded gradually. |
9 | 12 | SPICY SHRIMP (CL067) | N Callan | B/H/TT | Began with others, settled in better than midfield within 3Ls of pace, faded under pressure inside final 300 M. |
10 | 10 | MEGA CASTLE (CL333) | C K Tong | B1 | Travelled just worse than midfield, jostled and lost ground about 600 M out, shifted in towards the centre of the track for a clear run coming onto course proper, ran home one-paced under pressure. |
11 | 9 | HAPPY SCORE (M041) | M L Yeung | -- | Began awkwardly, travelled mainly in rear of midfield in the middle of the track before dropping to last few onto course proper, no further impression. |
12 | 2 | FLY HIGH (CH126) | T H So | V | Led early, travelled just outside leader before yielding ground rapidly inside final 300 M. |
13 | 8 | GAIN POWER (M092) | W C Marwing | H1/TT1 | Soon struggling. |
14 | 7 | FORTUNE PARTNER (CL331) | T Angland | H1 | Broke well the low draw, soon taken back to race in midfield down the centre of the track, raced awkwardly and dropped to tail-end halfway out, never recovered. |
