Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | ANABATIK (CB121) | M Cahill | B | Always in command, shifted across to hug rail 800 M out. Immediately shot clear of nearest rival upon straightening to collect race pillar to post in record time. |
2 | 7 | SUPER SPRINT (CA274) | G Schofield | -- | Wide in midfield, without cover early. Crept closer 3 wide rounding home turn to be 4Ls down swinging into straight, ran on well to take distant 2nd. |
3 | 6 | GALLANT HORSE (CA128) | C Williams | -- | 2 wide just back of midfield, 5 or 6Ls off speed. Under strong pressure from 500 M and ran on steadily to snatch 3rd spot closing stages. |
4 | 8 | OLYMPIC GOLD (CC005) | W C Marwing | -- | Driven along fence to secure position in midfield. Kept on one paced in home straight, just missed 3rd place near the line. |
5 | 9 | SNIPPETYIYEA (CB311) | S Dye | -- | Ridden but only managed midfield position 2 wide. Kept on same pace under pressure in straight. |
6 | 5 | KEV BUSHIDO (BV166) | S K Sit | SR | Jumped awkwardly, knuckled and nearly fell. Quickly recovered to chase leader 3 wide, kept on well in straight and looked like keeping a distant minor placing until run ended and swamped inside 100 M. |
7 | 1 | HELENE ELEGANCE (CB004) | M W Leung | B1 | Took a while to muster speed to find handy position 4 wide without cover. Lay in middle stages and struggled to keep up 600 M out. 7 or 8Ls down on straightening, not a threat thereafter. |
8 | 11 | REAL WINNER (CB051) | H K Yim | -- | Ridden along but outpaced towards rear. 3 wide, 2nd last and under pressure turning in when rider dropped his whip. Only ran past tired runners late. |
9 | 3 | KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) | R Quinn | SR-/P1 | Jumped fairly, sent on to sit behind leader 2 wide. Hung out middle stages, 2-1/2Ls down straightening up, soon emptied out and dropped away tamely. (Mucus in trachea after race.) |
10 | 12 | SCENIC STAR (BS247) | W M Lai | -- | Jumped fairly from wide alley then drifted back steadily towards rear, 4 wide 7 or 8Ls off pace. Under pressure 600 M out, no progress in home straight. |
11 | 2 | INDUSTRIAL PRIDE (CB179) | G Mosse | -- | Outpaced and soon last, gradually recovered a little ground to be 3 from rear on fence. Never on terms. |
12 | 10 | SNOWSTORM (CB255) | E Legrix | B2 | Jumped clearly but quickly outpaced and dropped to tail despite reminders. Never in the race. |
