Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) | D Whyte | B | Settled 4-back along rails about 5Ls behind speed until home straight, weaved a passage first outside and then inside to lead on the line. |
2 | 11 | BATURO (CH029) | K C Leung | -- | Ideally placed 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th or 5th through to home straight, led 200 M out but grabbed by the winner on the line. |
3 | 8 | MEGA BULLET (CH192) | M Du Plessis | B | 2-wide about 4Ls down in midfield from 1200 M to last bend, 1L down at 200 M and kept on finding and only just failed to fill the quinella. |
4 | 12 | LOHAN (CH279) | K L Chui | B | Slowest away, in rear duo at least 7Ls from the pace and same on straightening, made some decent late ground for 4th, post came too soon, wants further. |
5 | 9 | EVERGREEN (CE106) | C W Wong | B/TT | Slow to muster early pace, 2-wide and worse than midfield about 5Ls back through to the straight, made some good late ground, never nearer. |
6 | 4 | CLOVIS (CH044) | D Beadman | XB/H | 3-back along rails at 1000 M and within 4Ls of the lead off final curve, making headway but briefly held up 150 M out, couldn't recover. |
7 | 3 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | B Doyle | B | Went back, one-from rear about 7Ls off pace at halfway and niggled along to improve at the 500 M, made up some late ground but no real danger. |
8 | 10 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | C K Tong | -- | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1000 M and advanced to lead at top of home straight, headed again at the furlong pole and fizzled out soon after. |
9 | 7 | SOARING DRAGON (CH183) | E Saint-Martin | B | Awkward break, 3-wide with cover about 4Ls back in midfield and slightly worse off turning in, didn't find much off the bridle. |
10 | 2 | DR WELL (CD165) | Y T Cheng | -- | Led by 1L on fence at 1200 M and held a slender margin before being headed at the top of the homestretch, faded quickly. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
11 | 1 | OLYMPICSHIP (CJ283) | H W Lai | -- | No excuses having box-seated from 1200 M to the home straight, dropped away rather tamely. |
12 | 5 | BEST NOODLE (CJ278) | G Mosse | TT | 3-wide no cover throughout, prominent from early stages about 1L from the speed but fading at point of home straight entrance, eased down late on. |
