Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) | M Chadwick | TT | Jumped in line, slow into strides, urged to lead on rails from 1000m, 1L clear at the 200m, just did enough to hold off late challenger. |
2 | 8 | SUNNY KING (CH105) | Y T Cheng | H | Broke well, sat 3Ls behinds the leader 2-wide, bit overraced near 800m, obtained clear run and made ground down centre of the home straight, hung in, just late. |
3 | 7 | SPECIAL DAYS (CH236) | W Pike | -- | Jumped 2nd last, sat 6Ls off pace at the rear, closed sharply final 350m, squeezed through a narrow gap 100m and made remarkable ground for 3rd. |
4 | 4 | ARMADA (CE246) | D Whyte | -- | Out well and soon occupied a fence position within striking distance from the leader, closed nicely from 350m, lost 3rd in the final stride. |
5 | 2 | SIGHT WINNER (CJ049) | B Prebble | -- | Easily ran up to sit 2Ls off the pace 2-wide with cover, made ground steadily from 350m, checked near the line and just lost 3rd. |
6 | 13 | DREAM TEAM (CK076) | G Cheyne | TT | Broke well, urged to take the one out one back spot, had every chance, held the 2nd until flattened near 100m. |
7 | 3 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | B Doyle | CP | Out in line, eased rearward 5Ls off pace 3-wide with cover, shifted widest for home, made substantial ground down centre of home straight but never really troubled the placegetters. |
8 | 10 | FLEET COMMAND (CK077) | W M Lai | B | Taken back from widest alley in rear division, 7Ls off the speed, well back to bend, made some late progress without threatening. |
9 | 6 | TUSCAN SPIRIT (CK055) | J Lloyd | -- | Broke fastest, restrained 2Ls behind the leader 3-wide no cover, kept on well and looked possible to place until got tired passing 150m, badly checked 80m. |
10 | 14 | DANESIS (CH194) | M W Leung | TT | Urged to take the box-seat behind the leader, travelled well rounding bend, gave very limited respond when asked for efforts from 400m and emptied 200m. |
11 | 9 | KINGS FALCON (CJ185) | S K Sit | XB/H | Awkward start, settled 5Ls off pace 2-wide with cover, badly held up early in straight and blundered at the 300m, clear from 200m and passed the tired runners. |
12 | 5 | EYSHAL (CJ099) | D Beadman | B/TT | Last to jump, sat 6Ls off the speed, stayed rear division throughout, made no impression. |
13 | 11 | GALLANT LION (CG243) | C W Wong | H | Reasonably jumped, sat 4Ls behind the leader 4-wide, no cover from 800m, weakened sharply passing 300m. |
