Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | REWARDING STAR (CG234) | Y T Cheng | TT | On the rails and 3Ls or 4Ls from the front at halfway, going well and steadied off heels turning in, stayed on well to lead close home. |
2 | 6 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | W M Lai | B | Led by 1L at 1200 M on fence but handed up soon after to track in 2nd until home straight, regained lead at the 200 M but grabbed late in the piece. |
3 | 10 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | F Coetzee | B | Nicely placed in 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th or 5th through to straight, was once again found wanting in the finish but did enough to place. |
4 | 2 | SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) | B Doyle | B- | Checked at the start, 4Ls back with cover at halfway, 4-wide (widest) swinging for home, had his chance to place but too one-paced in the finish. |
5 | 8 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | D Beadman | XB | 4-wide no cover early but pressed on to lead by 2Ls on fence at 1000 M, headed shortly after straightening and one-paced to wind up. |
6 | 3 | MEATH (CE143) | D Whyte | SR/V | 7Ls back in 9th at 600 M, not helped by steady tempo, made a little headway but of little concern to main players ahead. |
7 | 5 | DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) | K T Yeung | SR | 6Ls behind pace out 2-wide in middle stages and marginally closer off last bend, ran home at the same pace. |
8 | 4 | CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) | Z Purton | B/TT | On the fence and 8Ls or 9Ls back in rear until straightening, slow race tempo of no assistance and never got a look-in. (Tactic questioned.) |
9 | 12 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | M Du Plessis | B | Went back from widest gate, slow-pace disadvantaged, 9Ls last at halfway and soon niggled along, no impression. |
10 | 7 | OPERA MAGIC (CB404) | B Prebble | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
11 | 11 | KEY WINNER (CG157) | K L Chui | B/TT | Much more prominent than usual, 2Ls back in 2nd out 2-wide early on and 3rd turning for home, dropped out from top of home straight. |
12 | 9 | AMAZING ME (CH080) | O Doleuze | XB/TT | Bungled the start, 4-back the rails in midfield about 5Ls from the speed at halfway, never going well thereafter and very weak to close. |
