Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | WASABISABI (CJ221) | B Prebble | B | Took up a prominent position early before being crowded near the 800 M and taking a sit behind the speed. Commenced a forward move at the half way point and gave plenty under pressure, winning easily. |
2 | 8 | FAIR NAVIGATOR (CJ254) | Z Purton | B/TT | Showed plenty of dash from barrier rise to cross to the outside section of the track. Didn't have much peace in front but kicked nicely to steal a break near the 400 M. Tried hard but couldn't match the winner. |
3 | 1 | GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) | O Doleuze | -- | Was bumped out of the machines but picked up well to travel on the back of the leaders. Shifted in to continue its run near the 300 M and maintained a sound gallop right to the wire. |
4 | 3 | EXTRA SPECIAL (CJ213) | J Lloyd | CP | Slow to begin and was soon at the tail of the field. Closed off soundly despite experiencing some traffic problems near the 300 M. |
5 | 14 | NEW IDEA (CK007) | M W Leung | CP | Scrubbed along early to maintain a midfield position 3 off the outside fence with cover. Kept on at the same pace over the latter stages. |
6 | 12 | BLESS US ALL (CK086) | T H So | B/XB | Travelled midfield with cover. Switched to the inside near the 300 M and plugged away one paced to the finish. |
7 | 2 | CLASSIC NAVIGATOR (CD330) | W M Lai | TT | Raced on the outside fence on the back of the speed. Was crowded near the 800 M, but couldn't accelerate when called upon near the 300 M. |
8 | 10 | STAR LEGEND (CJ233) | Y T Cheng | H1 | Worked forward and quickly came across from the gates towards the outside and raced as joint leader for some distance thereafter. Faded over the final furlong. |
9 | 5 | COMPACT YARN (CK377) | H W Lai | -- | Raced towards the rear, about 3 off the outside rail with cover. Failed to show any dash when pressured midrace and gave ground in the run to the post. |
10 | 6 | JUMBO GOLD (CK393) | W C Marwing | -- | Travelled behind midfield against the outside rail before copping a check near the 800 M. Never recovered from that point on. (See Racing Incidents.) |
11 | 7 | THINK BIG (CK295) | C W Wong | TT1 | Slow to begin then showed good gate speed to race prominently. Suffered a check near the 850 M but rallied to stay in touch with the leaders, weakened over the concluding stages. |
12 | 11 | DUEL EXPRESS (CJ299) | W Pike | -- | Positioned with the backmakers near the centre of the course. Struggled in the run home. |
13 | 9 | TIBIDABO (CK008) | M L Yeung | CP | Raced close to midfield towards the outside fence. Received a check approaching the 800 M and was not likely thereafter. |
14 | 13 | JUNGLE TREASURE (CJ277) | K C Leung | -- | Positioned on the middle of the track around midfield. Was quickly beaten off over the final 400 M. |
