Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | G Mosse | B | Worse than midfield 6Ls back at 1000 M, improved 3-wide with cover on circle to be 2Ls down in mid-division off final bend, led 150 M out, ran on well. |
2 | 5 | PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) | W M Lai | B | 1L back in 2nd at 1000 M, led at top of home straight but headed 150 M out, all out to barely cling onto 2nd. |
3 | 3 | SUPER GOAL MASTER (CG220) | O Doleuze | TT | Fractious in gates, never travelled well, niggled along in 11th about 7Ls back early on, under pressure when over 4Ls down in 10th off final bend, had his chance to run 2nd but fell just short. |
4 | 2 | FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) | E Saint-Martin | B | No better than 12th or 7Ls off pace until the 600 M, ran on well down the centre of homestretch to be nearest at the finish. |
5 | 7 | ELEGANCE LUCKY (CH051) | B Prebble | XB | Mostly midfield with cover about 4Ls off speed until the home straight, ran on fairly without any menace. |
6 | 12 | REWARDING STAR (CG234) | Y T Cheng | -- | Led out wide early on and crossed to lead on fence by 1L, headed at top of home straight and weakened inside final 200 M. |
7 | 10 | BRAVE COMMANDER (CC322) | K L Chui | B/TT | Prominent early and left 3-wide no cover at 800 M when 2Ls back in 5th, 1L down in 3rd turning for home, kept on one-paced. |
8 | 13 | SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) | C K Tong | -- | Close-up on fence at 1200 M, box-seat run on fence 2Ls off speed in 4th from 800 M to home turn, failed to quicken up. |
9 | 1 | DELIGHTFUL WIN (CC154) | H W Lai | -- | 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off speed until home turn, always well outpaced despite being a little tight for room close home. |
10 | 14 | SWEET BABY (CG294) | D Whyte | -- | Midfield with cover about 3Ls off speed through the first half, under pressure to lie up before the home turn, still thereabouts at 200 M but folded late. |
11 | 8 | GALLANT WIN (CH028) | D Nikolic | B | Held the 'one-out-one-back' position about 2Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, same at top of home straight, plugged on at the one pace. |
12 | 9 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | C W Wong | SR1 | Always struggling, soon behind and under pressure, 10Ls detached in rear turning for home, made some very minor late headway. |
13 | 11 | RAMPANT LION (CH068) | S Dye | -- | Never on terms, niggled along when 5-wide no cover early on, 8Ls off pace in 13th at 600 M, posed no danger. |
14 | 4 | STARFINDER (CH074) | M Nunes | TT | Slowest away and always well behind, 8Ls back in 12th at halfway, never got much closer and eased 200 M out. |
