Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | WADADELIGHT (CC340) | O Doleuze | B | Had the box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd until homestretch, switched out to lead 150 M out, ran on well to score comfortably. |
2 | 4 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | G Mosse | PC/TT | Checked at 1200 M when settled in rear, 5Ls back in 9th or so at 800 M and entering home straight, stayed on strongly when just over 1L down in 5th at 200 M, evened out late. |
3 | 8 | BEST CHOICE (CE038) | S Dye | B | Slow start and over-raced early on, 2-wide and 3Ls back in 4th down backstretch, under pressure to maintain position at 600 M, kept on dourly for a place past tiring rivals. |
4 | 5 | GOLD DIGGER (CD101) | M W Leung | CP | Disputed early lead but settled 2-wide and 1L off pace in 2nd at the 1000 M, led at top of home straight but headed about 150 M out, lost out on a place final 50 M. |
5 | 3 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | N Ryan | B-/PC2/H/TT | Slow away, 3-back on fence between 3Ls and 4Ls off pace in midfield until home straight, short of room 250 M out, clear at 200 M, one-paced. |
6 | 12 | RICH FOR ALL (CG023) | D Whyte | B1 | Awkward break, 4-wide no cover early on, pressed on to be 2Ls off pace out 3-wide no cover at 1000 M, all out to be 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, very tired late. |
7 | 10 | TEMMOKU (BV108) | Y T Cheng | V | 2-wide and about 4Ls off speed in midfield until home straight, much too one-paced to figure. |
8 | 11 | MADE IN HONGKONG (CD139) | W M Lai | B | 3-wide with cover about 4Ls or 5Ls off the speed in or around midfield until final bend, failed to quicken up. |
9 | 14 | SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) | G Schofield | P | Worse than midfield 4-back on fence about 6Ls off pace at 1000 M, 5Ls off speed turning for home, posed no danger to leaders. |
10 | 13 | OH GREAT (CB288) | A Delpech | B | Always towards rear at least 6Ls off the speed, hard ridden to be 4Ls down in 11th at the 200 M, no impression. |
11 | 6 | ONLY YOU (CD210) | H W Lai | -- | One from rear about 7Ls behind leader at 1200 M, not much closer turning for home, never a factor. |
12 | 1 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | C K Tong | V | Disputed early lead on fence, led by 1L at 1000 M, headed at 300 M, dropped out rapidly. |
13 | 7 | SEA TREASURE (CD335) | F Coetzee | CP/TT | Very poor effort, always off the bridle when at least 5Ls off pace and worse than midfield, beaten turning for home. |
14 | 9 | ESPOIR D'OR (CE218) | C Brown | B | Awkward break and over-raced early on in rear 8Ls off the leaders, always struggling. |
