Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 2 | WILD ACE (CH009) | W C Marwing | CP1/TT | Had the box-seat position on fence between 1L and 2Ls from the speed before taking up the lead 300 M out, kicked clear, easily. |
2 | 3 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | B Prebble | -- | 3-back the rails in midfield about 4Ls off leader at halfway, closer turning for home, no chance with winner but stayed on well to nick 2nd inside final 50 M. |
3 | 4 | HOT SUN (CJ005) | M L Yeung | -- | Soon led by 1L but over-raced a little early on, 2Ls clear at the 800 M, headed by the winner 300 M out, headed for 2nd inside final 50 M, just hung onto 3rd. |
4 | 11 | MONTY (CH164) | K C Leung | -- | Midfield and 2-wide over 4Ls off the early tempo, 3Ls back in 6th turning for home, one-paced to wrap up. |
5 | 13 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | B Doyle | V/XB | Soon one from rear about 7Ls off the pace, not suited by the on-pace race but still finished off strongly for 5th, possibly better at 1600 M. |
6 | 7 | OWNERS LAD (CG273) | J Winks | B | Half back in 2nd outside leader early on, still as close-up turning for home, couldn't find and extra gear when the tempo quickened late on. |
7 | 14 | AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) | H W Lai | B | Slowest away losing 3Ls immediately, 8Ls last at halfway, made some minor late ground down the centre of the track but never at all dangerous. |
8 | 6 | OSCAR PRINCE (CJ052) | W M Lai | -- | Settled in 11th at the 1000 M, closer about 4Ls back in midfield off last turn, one-paced to wind up. |
9 | 12 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | O Doleuze | B | Never any better than midfield and always at least 5Ls from the speed, posed little trouble in the straight. |
10 | 1 | GENERAL POWER (CJ256) | M Chadwick | B/TT | 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, 3rd at the 1000 M when 2Ls back, a little further back turning for home, one-paced. |
11 | 8 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | Z Purton | XB/TT | 3Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at the 1000 M and closer in 4th into the last 400 M, failed to capitalize on the cheap run, poor finish. |
12 | 5 | EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) | K L Chui | B/TT | Always towards the rear at least 6Ls from the pace, still very few signs of ability. |
13 | 9 | NATURAL FATCHOY (CG282) | C K Tong | BO/TT | Always worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the pace, struggling well before the home turn, poor. |
14 | 10 | SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) | C W Wong | -- | Around midfield and within striking range through to the final bend, dropped out meekly thereafter. |
