Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | ALGARVE (CK239) | B Prebble | -- | No early speed, ended up back with last few 8Ls or so from top end, improved on bend, let down strongly making many lengths from rear to overhaul them and win comfortably. |
2 | 12 | SAPELLI (CK191) | J Lloyd | -- | Took up ideal spot 1 out 1 back, 3Ls or so away on bend, chased leader from 350 M and went with eventual winner but just outlasted final 100 M. |
3 | 10 | NAPA II (CJ248) | O Doleuze | -- | Drifted back from an awkward alley, well back 9 to 10Ls from leaders, still plenty to do on bend, made many lengths in straight. |
4 | 11 | BRAVE SPIRIT (CJ258) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Rolled forward to take up running, 1 to 2Ls clear throughout at a decent tempo, kicked on turning, 3L advantage at 300 M, caught at 150 M, stayed on OK thereafter. |
5 | 5 | TOY STORY (CJ217) | W C Marwing | B | Even jump, settled 3 to 4Ls back on fence, had a soft trip to bend, into clear turning, didn't dash from 300 M and just plugged away to line. |
6 | 13 | SILVER BLAZE (CJ149) | S K Sit | H | Out with them, struck heels as field settled, forced to race 3 wide without cover, did share of work to bend, didn't find much and weakened out. (See Racing Incidents.) |
7 | 2 | JOHNSON (CJ305) | K C Leung | B | Went forward to settle on speed, raced first without cover 1 to 2Ls back, did a bit of work tracking leader, couldn't turn up a notch from bend and just battled in straight. |
8 | 8 | FLYING CHINA (CK266) | D Whyte | B | Even jump, assumed a position 3 wide with trail 6Ls or so back, covered ground throughout, didn't let down in straight despite steadied 300 M. |
9 | 3 | ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) | G Cheyne | -- | Average jump, faded back to race 3 to 4 wide behind midfield 6 to 7Ls back, had cover but used some throughout, no impression on straightening. |
10 | 4 | SOUTH BREEZE (CG241) | Z Purton | TT | OK to break, raced in midfield 4 to 5Ls back, even run throughout, didn't find when asked and faded right out. |
11 | 6 | FIRST BEAT (CK127) | G Mosse | TT | Slotted in first behind leader, had good run to bend, 3Ls away chasing leader on turn, stopped inside 300 M, bled 2nd time. |
