Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | DARE TO WIN (CG099) | C W Wong | SB | Driven to lead on fence at 1300 M, about 1L clear from 800 M to home turn, skipped 2Ls ahead at the 200 M and always in charge. |
2 | 7 | CHINOOK (CC108) | K L Chui | B | Driven along early to hold a 3-back on fence position about 4Ls off pace in 6th, about 3Ls back in 5th off final bend, no chance with winner but stayed on okay for 2nd. |
3 | 9 | GLORIOUS RHYTHM (CC163) | D Whyte | V | 4-back on fence about 5Ls off pace in 8th at 1000 M, edged a little closer going well taking home turn, every chance of running 2nd but was outstayed by CHINOOK. |
4 | 11 | SNIPER (CD110) | Y T Cheng | B/XB | Bumped rail and unbalanced at 1300 M when about 9Ls back in rear, about 6Ls back in 10th off final turn, made minor late ground along the inner to be nearest at finish. |
5 | 6 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | O Doleuze | -- | Box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd until home turn, given every hope of at least a place but lacked the turn of foot. |
6 | 8 | CHAMPION PIONEER (CG305) | S Dye | BO | Dropped out 10Ls last at the 1000 M, about 8Ls last swinging for home, ran on past a few late to be nearest at the line. |
7 | 2 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | D Nikolic | CP1 | 2-wide and 6Ls back in 9th or so at 1000 M and similarly placed turning for home, switched right into clear running at 250 M but made no inroads. |
8 | 5 | SUPER BALL (CD064) | F Coetzee | B | 3-wide no cover early on and pressed on to go 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1000 M, hard pressed to maintain this position off home turn and petered out. |
9 | 10 | SILLY BOY (CC094) | K T Yeung | B/TT | 1L off pace in 3rd early on, settled about 2Ls or 3Ls back out 2-wide in 4th from 800 M to home straight, found nothing off the bit. |
10 | 3 | KEY WINNER (CG157) | G Mosse | B- | Always outpaced, in the rear bunch and no better than 7Ls from the front at any stage. |
11 | 4 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | A Delpech | -- | Never travelled well, close enough early when 3Ls pace in 5th with cover, came under pressure at 500 M and giving ground off final turn, faded further. |
12 | 12 | WATCHMAN (CB327) | H W Lai | B/SR | Caught 3-wide no cover down the back straight in midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls from the speed, 4-wide off final turn when hard ridden, dropped out sharply. |
