Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 13 | FELLOWSHIP (CG292) | F Coetzee | -- | Tight for room on fence when about 6Ls off speed in mid-division at the 800 M, pushed along to pick up at top of stretch about 4Ls down in 5th, led inside final 30 M, will appreciate further. |
2 | 14 | SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) | Y T Cheng | -- | Mostly raced in 3rd, about 4Ls off pace at halfway on fence, 2Ls down taking home turn, about 1L down at 200 M, stayed on well despite hanging out but couldn't match the winner. |
3 | 9 | EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) | W M Lai | -- | Led out 2-wide at 1000 M, crossed to fence at 800 M and set brisk sectionals to skip 3Ls clear at 600 M, only grabbed inside final 30 M and missed quinella on the line. |
4 | 2 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | K L Chui | SR | Settled in rear as usual, about 10Ls behind at halfway and same turning for home, made up some nice late ground, nearest at the finish. |
5 | 1 | TIBER (CD155) | H W Lai | XB/TT | Always prominent, 2-wide and 4Ls back in 4th at the 800 M, got to within 2Ls of the speed at the home turn, given every hope to place but failed to find extra and lost 4th final 50 M. |
6 | 4 | SUNNY KING (CH105) | O Doleuze | XB/H/TT | 6Ls behind a strong pace in midfield at halfway, ran on fairly well down centre of track without troubling principals, never nearer. |
7 | 3 | GOODY (CD239) | A Delpech | -- | Held up in rear as normal, about 9Ls off the speed in 13th or so until home turn, made some minor late ground. |
8 | 8 | SUNNY POWER (CG203) | S Dye | -- | Tended to over-race, caught 3-wide no cover in places midfield about 5Ls off pace at halfway, a little closer taking home turn, always held by those in front. |
9 | 10 | REGENCY DRAGON (CH001) | H K Yim | TT1 | Taken back to 11th about 8Ls off speed until home turn, made only very minor late ground. |
10 | 7 | KINDACROSS (CG041) | C K Tong | TT | Disputed early running on fence, settled 3Ls back in 2nd at 800 M and 2Ls down in 2nd off final turn, soon outpaced. |
11 | 6 | INDUSTRIAL SUCCESS (CC317) | C W Wong | -- | Worse than midfield about 7Ls off pace out 2-wide until the 600 M, driven along to lie up taking final turn, kept on at same speed. |
12 | 11 | GOLDEN CARE (CD188) | M Nunes | B-/XB/TT | 4-back on fence worse than midfield about 7Ls off pace until the 800 M, about 1L closer taking final turn, never loomed a threat. |
13 | 5 | DIAMOND BRILLIANCE (CH002) | D Nikolic | TT- | 2-wide in 5th about 5Ls back at 1000 M, under pressure to draw nearer to the speed into home straight, soon beaten and eased final 100 M. |
14 | 12 | TRIUMPHANT UNICORN (CD166) | M W Leung | B | Slowest away and never a factor, 8Ls back in 12th from 1000 M to home turn, left for dead and eased down as far out as the 200 M. |
