Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 11 | COLOURFUL PRINCE (E418) | L Hewitson | SR/TT | Driven and crossed to the lead, fought on well turning into straight, still 2Ls in front at 200M, ran out of steam late but gamely prevailed by a nose at the line. |
2 | 3 | ELON (E272) | K Teetan | P-/E/PC1 | Dropped back on jumping from a wide draw, settled down 3-wide in midfield, ran on well from 300M charging home late, just missed by a nose. |
3 | 12 | MIRACULOUS HONOUR (G114) | M L Yeung | SB-/H | Began awkwardly, driven forward to track leader on inside, fought on steadily turning home, found extra late stages to be nearest at the line. |
4 | 7 | COOL BLUE (H011) | K C Leung | TT | Caught wide no cover chasing leaders, tried hard from 400M, briefly went 2nd mid-straight, outran late to finish 4th but beaten less than 1L. |
5 | 1 | IMPERIAL MAGEE (E460) | H Bentley | SR/XB/TT | Dropped back to race at the tail of the field, swung wide for home, closed off well for 5th but not able to challenge first few. |
6 | 5 | DINKUM (G409) | Y L Chung | CP/TT | Chased leaders in 4th early stages, shuffled back to midfield entering home turn, kept on mildly over final 300M, never a winning chance. |
7 | 10 | SUPER EAGLE (G408) | C Y Ho | XB-/TT1 | Jumped only fairly from wide gate then dropped back to race at the rear of the field, stayed on final 300M without threatening. |
8 | 6 | MEGA BONUS (E184) | Z Purton | V | Jumped fairly, soon moved up to track the pace, in 2nd spot top of the straight, weakened from 200M. (Jockey could offer no excuse for the disappointing performance.) |
9 | 4 | LUCKY FUN (E013) | M Dee | -- | Settled towards the rear, steadied near 1000M and 700M, into clear running 400M but ran on only fairly. |
10 | 9 | THE MULTIPLIER (E320) | H Bowman | B/TT | Refused to jump with the field and lost a significant amount of ground, 7Ls back in detached last turning for home, ran past a few beaten horses towards the line. (To consecutive barrier trials.) |
11 | 2 | CALIFORNIA VANES (G160) | K H Chan | B/TT | Fractious as the start was effected, jumped awkwardly and lost ground, settled behind midfield along the fence, couldn't go on passing 300M. |
12 | 8 | MAGIC SUPREME (D144) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Began fairly, held up midfield early stages before moving closer to leaders home turn, failed to pick up early straight, no extra 200M, faded to last. |
