Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | RARE TREASURE (CH150) | J Lloyd | -- | 3-wide but with cover and worse than midfield 6Ls off pace through to final turn, produced a telling burst down the centre to lead in final bounds. |
2 | 9 | MY TIME (CJ310) | S K Sit | -- | Disputed early pace out 2-wide before leading by 1L at the 600 M, maintained a narrow break before being collared by the winner just before the line. |
3 | 11 | OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) | C K Tong | B | Box-seated 2Ls back in 3rd initially, 4Ls back in 5th turning in, rallied again strongly in the home straight, got close in 3rd. |
4 | 10 | KEEN SOUL (CH092) | P H Lo | B | Led by 1L at first before opting to race 1L back in 2nd from 600 M to home bend, kept on well for pressure in straight, missed a place but still a good effort. |
5 | 5 | LUCKY PRINCE (CK285) | M Chadwick | TT | Nice position in 3rd at the 800 M and still just 2Ls behind off last bend, had every chance to place, couldn't follow through. |
6 | 2 | MAGIC SWEEP (CH299) | D Whyte | B | One from rear at the 1000 M and 7Ls to make up from rear on straightening, finished off well, was closest at the line. |
7 | 7 | BRILLIANT ONE (CG212) | W M Lai | -- | In 10th on the rails down the back straight, 7Ls adrift turning for home, ran on well late, never nearer. |
8 | 6 | VILASOL (CK303) | Y T Cheng | -- | Slowest out, 8Ls or so from the pace through to the final bend, recovered some decent late ground, nearest at the finish. |
9 | 8 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | Z Purton | PC-/B2/TT | 3-back the rails in midfield 5Ls behind early pace and little closer turning for home, couldn't keep up in the straight. |
10 | 3 | ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) | J Winks | P/TT | Awkward break losing ground, 6Ls back initially but never any better than midfield and chasing the majority of the field. |
11 | 4 | CHARMGOLD (CK002) | B Prebble | CP1 | Disappointing run for a favourite, decent position in 6th at 800 M, but pressured to stay in touch before taking last turn, very weak in response. (Questioned for poor performance.) |
12 | 1 | ESPERANZA (CG159) | K C Leung | B | Slow to muster pace and 3-wide no cover for much of the back straight, pressed forward 3Ls off pace turning in, soon beat a hasty retreat. |
