Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | HAPPY KID (CC326) | E Saint-Martin | B/SR | 3-back the fence in midfield until home straight about 4Ls off the speed, still with 2Ls to make up at the 200 M, ran on well late to lead at 50 M and edged clear. |
2 | 11 | FLAG FINDER (CE224) | D Whyte | -- | Always right on the pace in 2nd or 3rd and no worse than 1L from the lead until straightening, pulled a neck clear at the 200 M but no extra when headed by winner about 50 M out. |
3 | 8 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | O Doleuze | SR | Best away and led on fence about 900 M out, about 1L clear before being headed at 200 M, hung in a little under pressure but did just enough to place. |
4 | 3 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | K T Yeung | TT | Awkward break, had the box-run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th until home turn, tightened for room by SHINING DRAGON at the 200 M and through closing stages, unlucky not to place. |
5 | 9 | GENERAL DANSKE (CG296) | D Nikolic | TT1 | Nicely placed 2-wide in midfield or better early, 3Ls back in 4th turning for home, had every hope to at least place but lacked the kick. |
6 | 1 | DR POSSI (CE288) | C W Wong | -- | Hampered slightly early on and soon 6Ls off pace one from rear, a little further back taking final turn, plugged on out wide late, nearest at finish. |
7 | 5 | RED STORM RISING (CE007) | F Coetzee | CP | Hampered slightly early on, 5Ls back in 9th early, no closer when hampered again off final bend, average finish out wider. |
8 | 4 | PROGRESSING TIMES (CC231) | M Nunes | TT | No early pace and soon in last out 3-wide with cover at least 6Ls off pace, made only minor late headway past tired rivals. |
9 | 10 | MARVELLOUS (CH026) | H W Lai | SR | Caught 3-wide without cover throughout, 1L off pace in 3rd early but under pressure and slipping behind taking home turn, faded further. |
10 | 12 | GOLDEN STRIDE (CA343) | W M Lai | B/TT | 3-wide with cover early when about 4Ls off pace in 8th, 2-wide and 5Ls down off final bend, never on terms with principals. |
11 | 2 | NATURAL FATCHOY (CG282) | M W Leung | -- | 4-back on fence early about 5Ls off pace in rear bunch, further back and struggling on straightening for home, well beaten. |
12 | 6 | COUNTRY MAGIC (CH069) | B Prebble | TT | Knuckled exiting gates, caught widest of all racing keenly early on, in mid-division and 4Ls back in midfield at the final bend, eased through final stages. |
