Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 3 | FUN (CH282) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Led by 1L on fence at the 1000 M, made all thereafter and always repelling his pursuers in the straight. |
2 | 9 | NATURAL FLAME (CK016) | B Prebble | -- | Travelled nicely in 5th with cover about 2-1/2Ls from the speed until home straight, stayed on well for 2nd but couldn't seriously test the winner. |
3 | 5 | COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) | C K Tong | -- | Best out and box-seated on fence in 2nd or 3rd about 1L from the pace until home straight, did well to hang on for a place. |
4 | 2 | BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) | D Whyte | B2/TT | 3-back the fence, in 6th or so 3Ls from speed until the final turn, had his chance to place but lacked the acceleration. |
5 | 7 | LIONS' FORTUNE (CJ114) | W C Marwing | H-/B1/TT | Slowly away, 4-back on the rails and 4Ls down in 8th or so swinging for home, made some good late ground along the rails. |
6 | 1 | RED RULER (CH198) | D Oliver | TT | Went back from a wide gate, in 10th at least 5Ls from the speed until home straight, recovered some good late ground, never nearer. |
7 | 4 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | W M Lai | B | Vied for 2nd place out 2-wide and 1L behind pacesetter until home straight, one-paced and run out of the money closing stages. |
8 | 8 | SOU MA TAM (CH253) | C Soumillon | B | 3-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls off pace in 4th from 1000 M to final turn, yielded ground final 200 M after tough passage. (Questioned.) |
9 | 12 | SIMPLY JOY (CH052) | M L Yeung | -- | 2-wide in midfield at first, 4Ls behind with cover turning in, never likely to make much headway. |
10 | 10 | RAINBOW STAR (CJ275) | Z Purton | -- | Always rearward, at least 6Ls from the speed through to the home straight, ran on okay without threatening. |
11 | 6 | NATIONAL GLORY (CJ176) | G Mosse | B | Slowly away, around midfield 4Ls from the speed down the back, 5-wide off last bend, very one-paced. |
12 | 11 | HAPPY ELITE (CD306) | O Doleuze | XB/B2/TT | Slowly away, 8Ls last at halfway, never competitive. |
