Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | STRIKE TO WIN (CD361) | C W Wong | -- | No cover early on but got in 2-wide about 3Ls from the front at 1200 M and 1L back in 2nd at 800 M, led at top of home straight, always holding his rivals. |
2 | 10 | FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) | W M Lai | V | 1L back on fence in 2nd at 1300 M, enjoyed a nice trail in the box-seat from 800 M to home turn, outpaced by the winner but stayed on best of rest for 2nd. |
3 | 7 | SPARKLE (CB406) | D Whyte | B/TT | Slowly away, in 10th place from the 1200 M to home turn between 8Ls and 6Ls from the lead, made some late ground to place. |
4 | 9 | WINNING PATTERN (CG125) | M W Leung | B/H/TT | Led on fence by 1L at 1300 M and 2Ls clear at 1000 M, headed at top of home straight and run out of the money final 100 M. |
5 | 5 | STAR PRODIGY (CD294) | C K Tong | P/TT | 4Ls back in 4th out 2-wide at 1000 M, pressed on out 3-wide no cover from the 600 M and 1L back in 3rd on straightening, one-paced thereafter. |
6 | 12 | FABULOUS TREASURE (CG069) | K L Chui | -- | 3-back on fence until home turn around midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls from the front, outpaced through final stages. |
7 | 4 | SUPER POWER (CH117) | G Mosse | B/TT | Went back from wide gate, 10Ls last 1200 M out, 6Ls down turning for home, making some late ground when steadied 100 M out, didn't recover. |
8 | 11 | OH GREAT (CB288) | M Nunes | B | 4-back on fence 5Ls down in 6th place at 1000 M, progress on the circle to be over 2Ls down in 4th off final turn, had his chance to figure. (Lame next day.) |
9 | 2 | MACAROON (CG238) | C Soumillon | -- | Not the best away, on fence but worse than midfield about 6Ls from the speed at 1200 M, never looked likely to improve much on this position. |
10 | 6 | RISING WIN (CC089) | Z Purton | SR | Towards rear early on, 2-wide and 6Ls down in 8th at halfway, widest out 5-deep making last bend in midfield, faded. |
11 | 1 | TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) | G Boss | B/TT | Never travelled well, 4Ls back in midfield at the 1200 M, niggled along to lie up down back straight, all out turning for home, no response. |
12 | 3 | MR FLOODLIGHT (CG257) | S Dye | B | Always in rear bunch, under pressure when 8Ls back in 11th at the 600 M, weak performance. |
