Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) | J Lloyd | SR/TT | 7th with cover 7Ls from the pace at halfway, crept closer at last bend and quickened up to hit the front about 150 M out, ridden out to score. |
2 | 2 | ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) | B Prebble | B | Quietly ridden as usual, tracking winner FUJIAN PRINCE about 8Ls off early tempo, remained a similar margin from the winner, still ran a clear 2nd. |
3 | 7 | COVER BOY (CK021) | Y T Cheng | B/SR | Trapped 3-wide no cover before leading 1200 M and darting 4Ls clear at halfway, headed by quinella pair inside final furlong and all out to hold 3rd. |
4 | 14 | EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) | H W Lai | B2 | Always to the fore enjoying a soft trail on the fence in 3rd or 4th, closer in 2nd or 3rd and with every chance from 400 M to 200 M, no excuse not to place. |
5 | 5 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | O Doleuze | -- | Went back from wide gate, 12Ls last at the 800 M, 9Ls adrift turning for home, made up good late ground to be nearest at finish. |
6 | 11 | BRAVO HORSE (CH312) | T H So | B/SR | 5Ls behind early pace, caught 3-wide no cover on circle and still 5Ls back off last bend, briefly with place prospects at 200 M, couldn't follow up. (Questioned.) |
7 | 8 | REAL REJOICING (CH202) | M L Yeung | B/TT | In the front rank down the back, 4Ls back in 3rd at halfway, 2Ls back in 2nd with every hope off last turn, could not take advantage. |
8 | 10 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | K C Leung | B | Always under the stick, pressured when 12th at halfway, never a serious contender. |
9 | 13 | NOBLE TWINS (CH257) | W M Lai | B | Handily placed in 4th or 5th with cover no worse than 5Ls from the pace through first half, all out to remain in touch off final bend, dropped out. |
10 | 3 | LITTLE BIG BOY (CJ012) | M Chadwick | CP/TT | Crossed from wide gate to lead by 2Ls early on, 3Ls back in 2nd at halfway, struggling to keep up in 4th taking last corner, faded out tamely. (Tactic questioned.) |
11 | 12 | NATURAL ECHO (CB326) | C W Wong | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
12 | 4 | STAR OF CHIU TON (CJ175) | Z Purton | -- | On fence in 8th or so between 6Ls and 8Ls from pace until the last turn, found nothing off the bridle. |
13 | 9 | SPEED AND GOLD (CJ151) | W C Marwing | CP-/TT1 | Poor effort, always a long way back at the tail of the field, in trouble 600 M out and eased down final 200 M. |
14 | 6 | SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) | B Doyle | TT | Very flat performance, never travelling in rearward position, hard ridden to be 7Ls behind turning for home, retreated hastily. |
