Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | MY PRIDE (CG017) | O Doleuze | V | Good speed from wide gate to lead on fence by 2Ls at 1000 M, a neck clear turning for home, half a length ahead at 200 M, kept on gamely to scrape in. |
2 | 10 | KAO AND MING (CD023) | C Munce | B | One from rear and 2-wide about 5Ls off the pace until home turn, 4Ls down but short of room at 200 M in 10th, switched out and ran on very well late, just missed out. |
3 | 7 | RAINBOW EXPRESS (CE144) | C Brown | -- | Well placed on fence 2Ls behind pace in 3rd or so until final bend, always a fraction outpaced. |
3 | 8 | THUNDER STORM (CA226) | Y T Cheng | B/H | Better than midfield about 2Ls or so off the pace but mostly 3-wide no cover until home turn, kept on fairly well but never looked the winner. |
5 | 5 | HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) | G Mosse | B- | 3-back on fence about 3Ls off the speed through to home straight, kept on only fairly, short of room late but never likely to figure in quinella. |
6 | 3 | GOLDEN STRIDE (CA343) | S Sanders | SR-/B2 | 2-wide and 1L off the pace in 2nd at 700 M, a neck down in 2nd turning for home, all out to be half a length down in 2nd at 200 M, tired late. |
7 | 4 | JADE DANCER (CE170) | R Fradd | -- | Keen early, 2-wide and worse than midfield between 3Ls and 4Ls behind leader until home turn, always held by principals. |
8 | 2 | GOLDEN WIN (CE062) | D Whyte | SR1 | 2-wide and between 2Ls and 3Ls off pace in midfield through to home turn, found no running room in the home straight and not properly tested, should have finished closer. |
9 | 9 | AMBITION (CC079) | G Schofield | B | Bumped after an awkward break, in rear bunch about 4Ls off the speed through to final bend, didn't figure any further. |
10 | 12 | SURE FORTUNE (CC033) | H W Lai | B/TT | Slowest away, about 6Ls or 7Ls last until home straight, didn't find much running room thereafter but never likely to figure anyway. |
11 | 1 | HIGHLAND DAWN (CC138) | E Saint-Martin | B | Caught 4-wide without cover in midfield about 3Ls off the pace until the 600 M, gained some cover 3-wide on the circle, one-paced in the homestretch. |
12 | 11 | TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) | K S Yu | B | Awkward break, 4Ls behind in 8th or so at 1000 M, checked at the 600 M and 5Ls down in 11th turning for home, soon outpaced. |
