Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | BERLINI (P359) | G Mosse | H | Caught wide in midfield early stages, strolled to the lead passing 1000M and injected some pace to the race, had 2Ls lead leaving 400M, kept on well to the line and always maintaining the advantage. |
2 | 11 | THE SHOW (T256) | D Whyte | -- | Caught wide early stages from draw 12, improved to a 2-wide spot chasing leader 1000M, had 2Ls to make up on winner leaving 400M, kept on under pressure but unable to bridge the gap. |
3 | 7 | RED DANCER (P264) | M L Yeung | P/TT | Slow to begin, settled in midfield 4-5Ls off the pace, kept on steadily inside 400M, got up for 3rd 100M out but was well held by first two. |
4 | 5 | CLASSIC EMPEROR (T193) | B Prebble | H | Never far off the pace, 3Ls back in 5th making the turn, advanced to 3rd 300M, kept on without threatening the runaway winner, beaten to 4th late stages. |
5 | 9 | LUCKY GUY (T349) | C Schofield | B/SR | Held up 2-wide in mid-division, lacked a strong turn of foot leaving 400M, stayed on moderately for non-threatening 5th. |
6 | 2 | WINNAM (P119) | Z Purton | B/TT | Dropped back to near the rear, 8Ls off the pace middle stages, held up for clear running early straight, fastest finish over final 300M, belated gain. |
7 | 6 | HO IN ONE (N382) | G Lerena | CP2 | Eased to race towards the rear, kept to inside throughout, responded fairly over final 400M, no impression on leaders. |
8 | 4 | CLUB LIFE (P309) | K K Chiong | B | Began awkwardly, tracked leader early stages, shuffled back to 4th entering home turn, remained one pace in straight, faded late stages. |
9 | 13 | MAGNETISM (V114) | K Teetan | -- | Took keen hold behind mid-division, swung 3-wide for home, gave limited response only entering straight, never threatened. |
10 | 8 | BEAUTY PRINCE (T411) | J Moreira | H/SR | In mid-division, overraced badly in early and middle stages, 3-wide without cover from 1000M, couldn't finish off in straight. (Jockey : defeat attributable to racing manner / No Vet finings.) |
11 | 12 | FORMULA WON (P183) | M Chadwick | TT | Settled down behind midfield 6Ls behind leader, couldn't find much passing 400M, never reach contention, eased late stages. |
12 | 10 | LAUGH OUT LOUD (P297) | H N Wong | B | Led early stages, sat in 2nd behind runaway leader passing 1000M, no extra and weakened entering 350M. |
13 | 3 | CITRON SPIRIT (T286) | C Y Ho | H | In midfield, caught 4 wide no cover for much of the way, had not much left leaving the turn and was left behind passing 300M. |
14 | 14 | GREAT TREASURE (T380) | H W Lai | B/H | Switched off to last from wide barrier, couldn't keep up with main group passing 700M, well beaten before entering straight. |
