Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | D Beadman | PC | Did well to get into 3-back the fence position from wide gate, 4Ls backing 5th off final bend, led at furlong pole, won unchallenged. |
2 | 13 | SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) | C W Wong | B | Slowly away but recovered quickly to take up box-seat position over 1L back in 3rd, lacked the winner's turn of foot but best of the rest for 2nd. |
3 | 10 | SICHUAN HERO (CJ044) | Z Purton | B-/PC1/H | Best out, nicely placed in 4th in one-out-one-back position no worse than 2Ls off pace through to final bend, held down a place. |
4 | 11 | BEST NOODLE (CJ278) | M Chadwick | TT | Taken back to 8Ls last early on the fence, still last and 7Ls behind turning for home, recovered some decent late ground, never nearer. (Riding questioned.) |
5 | 12 | MASTER GREEN (CJ104) | G Cheyne | V/TT | No early pace and raced 4-back the rails at halfway, 4Ls back in 7th turning for home, one-paced to conclude. |
6 | 3 | SUPER PEGASUS (CH141) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Pressed forward to flank pacesetter in 2nd at halfway, upsides with every chance off last bend, didn't find much off the bridle, faded to midfield. |
7 | 7 | MAGIC TURBO (CJ098) | O Doleuze | SR | Midfield throughout, about 4Ls adrift before final bend, briefly loomed a place chance but weakened inside final 200 M. |
8 | 4 | KING FAY FAY (CH089) | J Lloyd | -- | 3-wide with cover in rear 6Ls off early pace, launched a brief rally at the 300 M but couldn't follow through. |
9 | 1 | DR WELL (CD165) | T H So | -- | Pressed forward to lead by 1L on fence at 1000 M, a neck to the good from 800 M before being headed shortly after straightening, ceded ground rapidly. |
10 | 9 | ROCKALOT (CH163) | C K Tong | B/TT | Never travelling well towards the rear some 6Ls from the speed before final turn, always chasing the majority of the field. |
11 | 5 | OLYMPICSHIP (CJ283) | B Prebble | B-/TT1 | Never really in the hunt at any stage, 2-wide towards rear at least 5Ls from the lead through to the last bend, no impression. (Questioned for disappointing performance.) |
12 | 8 | NAMJONG FIGHTERS (CG308) | K W Leung | -- | Prominent but 3-wide no cover at halfway despite drawing gate 2, began to yield ground before final bend, faded out. |
13 | 6 | GOLDEN BALL (CH128) | W M Lai | B | Midfield but 4Ls behind initial pace, 4-wide no cover on the circle when further behind, very weak in the straight. |
