Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | HAPPY WINNING (CB302) | K L Chui | B | Soon disputing lead on fence, 1L clear 800 M out, shot 2Ls ahead at top of home straight, ran away with it, easily. |
2 | 10 | SILLY BOY (CC094) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Slowest away but soon recovered along fence to race in 3rd, about 2Ls down in box-seat at 800 M, a little further back turning for home, never had any hope of grabbing winner. |
3 | 3 | BRAVE KNIGHT (CC131) | D Whyte | TT | Soon niggled along when 3-back on fence in 4th when about 4Ls back in 5th place until home turn, much too one-paced but plugged on for place. |
4 | 6 | FAST TRACK (CB375) | D Dunn | B | Worse than midfield about 5Ls off speed down the back, unbalanced when bumping rail 700 M out, soon outpaced but ran past a tired horse into 4th place late. |
5 | 2 | OKEYDOKEY (CD190) | W C Marwing | B | Disputed early lead, 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 900 M, about 2Ls down in 2nd at home turn, ideally situated for a place, very tired late and lost out on 4th when rider eased down near the post. |
6 | 11 | TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) | W M Lai | B | 2-wide at 800 M when close up 3Ls behind speed in 4th, ridden along to hold this position turning for home, faded right out in final 200 M. |
7 | 9 | GOOD TO GREAT (CD278) | S K Sit | -- | Awkward break and quickly got back about 6Ls off pace in rear bunch, checked at 700 M, further off the pace taking final turn, never a factor. |
8 | 8 | LUCKY GUYS (CE016) | B Prebble | SR | Unbalanced and lost ground at start, soon 7Ls last, checked at 700 M and knocked further back, never on terms. |
9 | 7 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | F Coetzee | CP | Midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed until the 800 M, under pressure to stay involved at 600 M, petered out tamely from top of home turn. |
10 | 12 | MILLION CHASE (CD132) | C K Tong | CP/H | Worse than midfield and at least 5Ls or 6Ls off speed until home turn when 3-wide, dropped out rapidly from then on. |
11 | 5 | CROWNED GEM (CE056) | H W Lai | -- | Caught 5-wide no cover for most of backstretch when about 4Ls back in midfield, lost a lot of ground on the circle and struggling on straightening, eased down late. |
12 | 1 | FINANCIAL KID (CE303) | C Munce | -- | 4-wide with cover in rear group early about 6Ls off pace, niggled along to maintain an interest from 700 M out, very weak from a long way, performance deemed unacceptable. |
