Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | F Coetzee | B/XB | Crossed from wide gate to be 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1200 M, 1L back on fence in 2nd at 800 M, led 300 M out, driven clear. |
2 | 8 | DECENT FELLOW (CH021) | S Dye | -- | 4Ls back in 5th on fence at 800 M, soon under pressure and looked set to weaken out at top of home straight, battled on dourly to nick 2nd close home. |
3 | 5 | LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) | D Whyte | SR/TT | 2-wide and 4Ls back in 2nd at the 800 M and 3Ls down in 4th off home bend, every chance to run 2nd but outfought by DECENT FELLOW. |
4 | 1 | RED WINE HONEY (CE287) | S K Sit | B | Slowly away, about 9th place and 5Ls or so from the lead with cover until home turn, made some late headway for 4th. |
5 | 10 | ALWAYS ZIETEN (CB090) | H W Lai | -- | Led on fence by 1L at 1200 M and same margin clear to top of home straight, headed 300 M out but held his ground late. |
6 | 13 | CHINA SPORTFIELD (CG032) | K L Chui | BO | Mostly 3-wide no cover down backstretch in midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls from the front, never got to grips with the principals. |
7 | 4 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | G Boss | XB | 2-wide in midfield at halfway about 5Ls off pace, similar position swinging for home, one-paced. |
8 | 11 | NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) | M Nunes | -- | In rear bunch at least 7Ls from the pace until home turn when 3-wide, never dangerous. |
9 | 9 | NICKU NICKU (CC372) | Y T Cheng | B/SR | 4-back on fence about 6Ls off pace in 8th or 9th at 1000 M, same off final turn, short of room in places on the run-in but unlikely to have got much closer. (Lame.) |
10 | 12 | PURE ALPHA (CH008) | O Doleuze | SR1 | Slowest away and switched to rail from wide gate, about 7Ls down in rear until final turn, posed little threat. |
11 | 3 | EVER KING (CE147) | C K Tong | V/TT | 8Ls last at 1000 M and still well back on straightening, failed to quicken up. |
12 | 6 | SUPER IDEAL (CC223) | E Saint-Martin | TT | 3-wide with cover towards rear at least 6Ls behind early tempo, never on terms in latter half of race. |
13 | 14 | GALAXY DANCER (CH179) | W M Lai | B/H/TT | Well back and 4-wide no cover throughout, 8Ls behind off final bend, soon beaten. |
14 | 2 | ALICE TOO (CG309) | Z Purton | B/TT | 2-wide and 2Ls in 3rd at 1000 M, ridden along to maintain this proximity at home turn but soon swamped, eased final 200 M. |
