Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | WINDICATOR POWER (CL424) | N Callan | P/TT | Out in line, drifted back to race in midfield 4Ls back on rails, had a quite time to bend, gained a split at 250m and darted through, held off fast finishing rivals late. |
2 | 3 | PIZZAZZ (CL145) | K C Leung | H/TT | Lacked early pace as usual, raced 5Ls or so away behind midfield, saved ground on rails, made progress between horses in straight and produced a strong finish but unable to peg back margin late. |
3 | 4 | CHATER MIKADO (M100) | M Guyon | B | Drifted back from a tricky draw to race at rear 8ls away, checked at 850m, kept to rails and saved ground turning, made many lengths in straight to take 3rd. |
4 | 6 | EARL OF LEITRIM (N006) | D Whyte | XB1/TT1 | No early pace, settled 6Ls or so back on rails, hung badly at 850m, came to outside in straight and made good ground in straight to nearly snatch place. Good debut. |
5 | 9 | GURUS DREAM (M246) | K C Ng | -- | Displayed plenty of early speed, used a bit in bid for lead, raced outside leader applying pressure throughout, run ended at 200m when workload took toll. |
6 | 2 | TAILWIND (M103) | M L Yeung | B | Pushed on in search of a close up spot, raced 3 wide with cover on speed and did work in mid section, 1-2Ls down turning, stuck on well given run to 200m, just dropped off thereafter. |
7 | 14 | LUCKY SCEPTER (N174) | H W Lai | -- | Showed enough speed to hold a spot on leaders back, fair trip with even speed on, didn't quicken but kept on evenly holding ground in the straight. |
8 | 13 | REGENCY LUCK (M291) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Had plenty of early pace to drive through and lead, set an even speed with attention from outside horses, held a 1L margin turning, headed at 250m and couldn't find extra thereafter. |
9 | 11 | PAGANINI'S SOUL (CL373) | M Du Plessis | XB/TT | Standard break, raced just off midfield 5-6Ls back in running line, not asked to bend, made a brief dash but failed to close off final furlong. |
10 | 5 | STRAIGHT GOLD (N089) | D Beadman | H/XB | Took up ideal spot 1 out 1 back just off pace, difficult to settle in mid section, made a brief effort 3 wide turning in, lacked turn of foot final 300m. (See Racing Incidents.) |
11 | 1 | FLYING COLOURS (CJ111) | C Y Ho | B/XB | Amongst first away, taken back from a wide alley, raced 3 wide at rear 8Ls or so away, forced wider at first turn, made some ground wide on bend, no extra final 300m. |
12 | 7 | PROLIFIC CHAMPION (M226) | G Mosse | TT | Out with rest, posted 3 wide in midfield, had cover in middle stages, struggling turning and faded out of it tamely. |
13 | 12 | SIR EAGLES (M403) | B Doyle | -- | Taken back from a wide gate, received a bad check at 850m when racing 3 wide at rear, still well back to bend, made no real impression. |
