Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | LEGEND (CK042) | J Winks | -- | Not much early speed, ended up 6 to 7Ls back just behind midfield, tracked well throughout, came to middle and let down nicely final 200 M to score with something in hand late. |
2 | 11 | MY MEMORY (CK173) | Y T Cheng | -- | Bounced out, led soon after, rolled along at even sections, still held a 1/2L advantage leaving bend, fought off immediate challenge but couldn't hold off rival 150 M. |
3 | 1 | MAELSTROM (CK370) | O Doleuze | -- | Began with more purpose, box seated on leaders back throughout, did a bit of work on speed, right there turning, kept on soundly late to place. |
4 | 7 | MR CELERITY (CL003) | G Cheyne | -- | Steadied early, got back from a wide alley, settled 7 to 8Ls back in rear division, set a task and came widest turning, made many lengths in straight to make frame. Useful debut. |
5 | 3 | ONE WEE ACORN (CK143) | D Whyte | -- | Fair to begin, raced behind pace trio 4Ls away on rails, used little in run, improved turning, worked home soundly to just miss frame. |
6 | 2 | CAT STORM (CL082) | M Chadwick | TT1 | Standard getaway, settled 6Ls away on fence, had an easy time throughout, saved ground on fence, closed off best of rest despite restricted room late to be nearest on line. |
7 | 12 | TYCOON TAYLOR (CH288) | K W Leung | B | Out reasonably, positioned 4Ls off speed in front of midfield, enjoyed an easy run in running line, didn't find extra late and faded final 200 M. |
8 | 4 | CHINA LUJIA (CJ088) | T H So | B-/XB | No early speed, drifted back to 2nd last 9 to 10Ls off pace, always well off leaders, 2nd last turning, made some minor headway late. |
9 | 10 | FLYING SUPREME (CK226) | B Doyle | CP | Ridden up early, dropped into running line 5Ls off speed, no excuses in run, didn't let down as usual and peaked at 200 M, battling thereafter. |
10 | 9 | PACKING COMMANDER (CK384) | B Prebble | H1 | Awkwardly away, soon at rear, best part of 10Ls away throughout, same margin down turning, made some late ground. (Bled both nostrils.) |
11 | 5 | CIRCUIT HERO (CG304) | C K Tong | B/TT | Well enough away, drifted back to race 6Ls of so away, 3 wide without cover throughout, faded out after a hard run. |
12 | 6 | GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) | H W Lai | B/XB/TT | Jumped well, pressed on to apply pressure to leader, challenged throughout, 1/2L down on turn, gave in cheaply at business end. (See Racing Incidents.) |
