Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | FAT CHOY ICHIBAN (CJ063) | G Mosse | -- | Settled 6Ls back in 10th at the 1000 M and edged closer turning in, quickened up well to lead 200 M out and always doing enough to win. (Questioned for improved performance.) |
2 | 2 | AMAZING JOURNEY (CH281) | D Whyte | B/TT | 4-back the rails 5Ls off pace in mid-division at halfway, smooth headway on inner to vie for lead 250 M out, always just held by the winner. |
3 | 7 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | J Winks | V | 9Ls last at the 1000 M, 12th and 5Ls off taking last turn, stayed on well for a place without quite reaching quinella pair. |
4 | 10 | GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) | B Prebble | B | Towards rear on the rails about 7Ls behind initial pace, crept closer turning for home, finished off pretty well but still unable to place. |
5 | 4 | SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) | M L Yeung | -- | Disputed early pace before settling into 4th out 2-wide and 2Ls back at halfway, every chance when 3rd at 200 M, weakened without excuses. |
6 | 3 | MAMMA MIA (CK053) | E Saint-Martin | -- | 3-back on fence 4Ls back in 6th or so down the back, peeled out 2-wide turning for home, still with place prospects at furlong pole but run soon peaked. |
7 | 14 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | M W Leung | B | On fence 2Ls back around 4th at 1000 M, same margin behind but swamped at the furlong pole and tired late. (Tactic questioned.) |
8 | 13 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | K L Chui | XB | Caught 3-wide no cover at halfway when 5Ls back in 8th or so, continued wide on the circle and rather one-paced in the homestretch. |
9 | 9 | FEEL THE FUN (CJ205) | Z Purton | -- | 3Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at the 1000 M and still close up on straightening for home, very weak inside the final furlong. |
10 | 12 | CHAMPION PIONEER (CG305) | H W Lai | B-/BO2 | One from rear about 8Ls off pace at the 1000 M, only marginally closer turning in, never loomed a threat. |
11 | 8 | ALMIGHTY (CK006) | W C Marwing | P-/CP1 | Disputing early tempo out 4-wide no cover, a neck down in 2nd out 2-wide from halfway to home straight, began to wilt before the 200 M, well beaten. |
12 | 11 | DIAMOND PRINCE (CJ172) | Y T Cheng | SR | Disputed early pace on the rails, a neck to the good from halfway to home straight, weakened well before the final furlong. |
13 | 6 | BLINK AGAIN (CK011) | O Doleuze | V/XB1/TT | Midfield with cover about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, very one-paced in the home straight, diagnosed a 'roarer'. |
14 | 5 | VERY FIT (CE071) | F Coetzee | XB/TT | Always rearward and relegated to 10Ls last at the 600 M, struggling before the home turn, unacceptable performance. (Lame next day.) |
