1 | 6 | QI'S PET (CD321) | E Saint-Martin | B | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1200 M to home straight, led at 200 M, driven clear. |
2 | 11 | SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) | P H Lo | TT | 3-back the fence in midfield about 4Ls off the pace until home turn, no great acceleration when 2Ls back in 4th at 200 M, stayed on fairly for the quinella. |
3 | 1 | CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) | K L Chui | B | Slow to begin and soon last about 8Ls behind, still 6Ls last on straightening for home out very wide (6-wide), ran on quite well down the centre of the track for a place. |
4 | 5 | CAPABILITY (CE094) | D Whyte | B/TT | Slow start, one from rear about 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, some headway but caught 5-wide turning for home, definite place prospects when 2Ls down in 5th but one-paced thereafter. |
5 | 4 | ALWAYS HAPPY (CE085) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | On a fence a neck back in 2nd at 1200 M, moved to the front 600 M out but headed by winner at the 200 M and weakened out of a place. |
6 | 9 | COME HO CHOI (CE082) | M Nunes | B | 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls off pace until home turn, offered nothing akin to a turn of foot. |
7 | 12 | WINWIN COMBO (CB277) | W M Lai | -- | Worse than midfield 4-back the fence at least 5Ls behind until home turn, never likely to improve his position too much. |
8 | 3 | DANRIVA (CA040) | S K Sit | -- | In 10th with cover about 6Ls off pace at 1200 M, marginally closer when checked turning for home, disappointed for room at 200 M when seemingly outpaced and 6Ls back in rear, no impression. |
9 | 2 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | C W Wong | B | 3-wide but with cover in midfield on first bend, always about 4Ls or 5Ls back in 7th or 8th until home turn, plodded on at the one pace. |
10 | 7 | NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) | C K Tong | V | Left 3 and 4-wide no cover early so pressed on to dispute the lead at 800 M, a neck down in 2nd turning for home and ridden along, found nothing under pressure. |
11 | 10 | SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) | M W Leung | -- | Nicely placed 2-wide in 4th or so about 2Ls off pace through first half, driven along when 3Ls off pace in 5th taking home bend, soon petered out. |
12 | 8 | TABBRIS (CB088) | H W Lai | B/TT | Couldn't get his preferred way in front and under pressure well before turning for home, dropped right out in the straight, performance deemed unacceptable. |
