Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | ACROBATIC (CA108) | D Whyte | B | Niggled to secure position in midfield near rail. 5Ls down on straightening when switched off rail to challenge, responded well from 300 M to take charge 100 M out, comfortably. |
2 | 8 | SPLENDID PATROL (BV066) | M W Leung | V | Soon took up running, pinched rail 1400 M out, Drew 2Ls clear straightening up, every chance until overhauled near the 100 M, kept on quite well for 2nd. |
3 | 7 | SIROCCO (CA169) | A Marcus | -- | Handy, never less than 3 wide. Made some progress in straight but soon one-paced. |
4 | 5 | GIFT (CB246) | S Dye | -- | 2 wide around midfield but never on terms, especially in early and middle stages when unbalanced and dipped. Dropped back a bit home turn when under pressure, ran on steadily final 200 M. |
5 | 10 | CELLINI (CB242) | S K Sit | -- | Waited with at rear. Switched 4 wide before straightening, made gradual ground from 250 M, effort not sustained final stages. |
6 | 6 | ALL THE BEST (BV211) | G Mosse | B | Not far away, pulled a bit early stages. 3 or 4Ls adrift turning in, unable to quicken to challenge. |
7 | 9 | GRANDIOSO (CA327) | B Fayd'herbe | SR | Jumped very awkwardly then travelled toward rear on fence. Made up some ground from 300 M, one paced concluding stages. |
8 | 12 | REWARD (BV116) | C Williams | SR | Broke well then held up behind leaders on rail. One paced before beginning to give ground inside final 200 M. |
9 | 2 | INDUBITABLY BLISS (CA058) | F Coetzee | TT | Tracked leader 2 wide before dropping away steadily from 250 M. |
10 | 13 | CITI CENTRE (CA281) | W M Lai | -- | 2 or 3 wide just in front on midfield. Kept on same pace under pressure in straight, tired close home. |
11 | 11 | EPIC EXPRESSION (CB158) | D Dunn | B | Slow to begin, at rear until running past tired runners final 200 M. |
12 | 3 | ISLAND WEST TREBLE (BV073) | M Cahill | -- | Settled 2 wide rear of midfield. Dropped to the back rounding home turn, no response in home straight. |
13 | 4 | CENTURY HORSE (BT267) | E Saint-Martin | -- | In front of mid-division on fence, found nothing under pressure straightening up, dropped out tamely. (Heart irregularity.) |
14 | 14 | DIAMOND AND GOLD (BP100) | Y T Cheng | -- | Driven to find midfield position out wide. Could not keep up 1000 M out and dropped back towards rear. Last on straightening and no impression thereafter. |
