Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 10 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | Z Purton | XB | 2-wide and 5Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, closer and going well turning for home, led 200 M out and all out to just cling on. |
2 | 4 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | B Doyle | B | Went back as usual, 9Ls back in 9th at 1000 M, 4-wide (widest) off last turn when 5Ls back in 9th, ran on very strongly, only just denied the win. |
3 | 1 | CLASSIC REUNION (CH166) | K T Yeung | B/SR | Didn't break well, on fence 9Ls back in 10th at 1000 M, niggled along at 600 M, picked up very well through the field to nick 3rd close home. |
4 | 7 | SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) | D Whyte | -- | 2-wide and 7Ls in 7th at 1000 M, 6th and 4Ls back making final bend, ran on okay to wrap up but had his chance to place. |
5 | 8 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | W M Lai | B | 3-back along the rails in 4th or 5th through to home straight when 3Ls down, one-paced to conclude. |
6 | 12 | AMAZING ME (CH080) | J Victoire | XB/TT | Lost ground at the start, 12Ls last at the 1000 M, 7Ls last off final corner, stayed on well down the centre, closest at the line. |
7 | 5 | FRIENDSHIP (CE066) | K C Leung | -- | Nicely placed in 'one-out-one-back' position in 3rd through to final quarter when niggled along, steadily faded out of the picture. |
7 | 11 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | Y T Cheng | V/TT | No match for CLASSA SUPREME in front early, held 2nd from 1100 M to home turn, still only a neck down at 200 M, very weak closing stages. |
9 | 9 | FLORAL IMAGE (CK027) | M Du Plessis | TT | 3-back on rails in 6th about 5Ls from pace at 600 M, closer turning in, couldn't find much room on rails until 100 M out when his chance had gone. (Questioned.) |
10 | 2 | KOWLOON FIT (CE247) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout, 7Ls back in 8th at 1000 M and 4Ls behind off last turn, extra work told inside final furlong. |
11 | 3 | MULTI MILLIONS (CD207) | B Prebble | SR-/B2 | Swerved left at start, always one from the rear, 10Ls behind at 1000 M, always chasing the majority of the field, no danger. |
12 | 6 | CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) | H W Lai | TT | Hared to the front as usual, 3Ls clear 800 M out, 1L to the good at final bend, headed 200 M out, slipped rapidly through the field when beaten. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
