Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | ALWAYS GIGGLE (CG086) | G Mosse | B | OK to begin, took a trail in midfield close to outside rails, raced 3Ls back with cover, tracked well at 400 M, drove through from 200 M and drew away to score comfortably. |
2 | 1 | PLEZAYRE (CG116) | K T Yeung | XB/TT | Fast away, led them up racing hard on outside rail, still 1L clear at 400 M, showed good fight to hold them off until 100 M when overhauled, game in defeat finding winner too good. |
3 | 9 | NATIVE KID (CG317) | M W Leung | XB1/TT- | Ordinary jump, ended up at rear 4 to 5Ls back towards outside rail, steadily improved between horses to share lead at 300 M, a little wayward under pressure but stuck on well 3rd. |
4 | 2 | THUNDER FLASH (CG270) | K L Chui | -- | Not the best out, regathered to be not far away close to outside rail, travelled well 1L down at 400 M, right there at 200 M but just couldn't match top 3 late. |
5 | 3 | PROFITING CHAMPION (CH123) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Began well but proved difficult to settle early. Obtained a trail 1 to 2Ls back behind leader hard against outside rail, had little room when run closed at 200 M and lacked any real chance thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.) |
6 | 6 | WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) | B Prebble | TT | Out in line, sat 2 to 3Ls back between middle and outside, travelled reasonably to 300 M but failed to find usual dash and just held ground late. (Jockey reported didn't handle going.) |
7 | 8 | GALBRAITH (CG022) | D Whyte | CP | Showed speed from outset and raced 1L off front in middle of track, right there at 300 M but run ended at furlong pole and just lost touch late. |
8 | 5 | SHY BALDY (CH168) | Y T Cheng | -- | Awkward jump and didn't show expected speed, settled back with last few 4Ls away, under a hold at midpoint, didn't find enough when let down just holding ground to line. |
9 | 11 | DR POSSI (CE288) | D Nikolic | -- | Little pace from beginning, raced at rear 4 to 5Ls back in middle of course, steadily drifted in, lacked a real dash and just plugged away last 200 M. |
10 | 4 | BE MY SONG (CH272) | C K Tong | -- | Showed good pace from outset, lead division in middle of course, still there until 400 M, condition gave out and weakened out gradually in run to line. |
11 | 10 | LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) | H K Yim | SR | Jumped nicely and settled 1 to 2Ls back towards middle, had a fair trail but began to struggle at 400 M, produced a one paced finish getting further behind over concluding stages. |
12 | 14 | SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) | W M Lai | -- | Out well, up close to lead 1L back in middle of course, under pressure from midpoint, didn't find under pressure and dropped out tamely. |
13 | 12 | WONDER KID (CH233) | H W Lai | B1 | Slow into stride, raced at rear 5Ls back towards outside rail, always had trouble keeping in touch, weakened noticeably from 400 M to be well beaten. |
