Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) | B Prebble | -- | Positioned in midfield, responded to pressure 400 M out, came with a sweeping run outside and got up just in time. |
2 | 3 | WILLING STORM (CJ187) | D Beadman | H | Not hurried in early stages and settled behind midfield 7Ls off the strong pace, ran on well down the inside but just found one too strong. |
3 | 5 | NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Tracked leaders in the first half then sped off to a clear lead making the home turn, held 3Ls advantage final 200 M, weakened in late stages and caught near line. |
4 | 9 | ISLAND SUPER (CH297) | J Lloyd | TT | Dropped back and taken across to the rail, 10Ls off the pace in middle stages, made steady progress down the inside without reaching the top 3. |
5 | 2 | TAI SING YEH (CL037) | D Whyte | -- | Settled 4 to 5Ls behind runaway leader, given every chance but found less than expected when the race got serious, turned flat after being taken in near 100 M. |
6 | 10 | LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) | C W Wong | -- | Settled 2-wide in mid-division, kept on final 200 M but failed to make an impression. |
7 | 12 | GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) | M L Yeung | -- | With leaders early, dropped back to midfield halfway down the back straight, into clear 300 M but couldn't find an extra gear to seriously challenge. |
8 | 7 | TAKE THE RAP (CL369) | W C Marwing | -- | Placed behind midfield, had 9Ls to make up turning in but could only make minor progress late on. |
9 | 8 | ELITE OF CHIU TON (CK089) | G Cheyne | SR1 | Never far off but could only keep on at the same pace, weakened close home. |
10 | 11 | HAPPY REUNION (CK163) | H W Lai | TT | Switched off to last and trailed over 10Ls to leader in a strongly run race, picked up fairly on straightening and never looked like getting to the horses in front. |
11 | 6 | HONGKONG SUPERSTAR (CH167) | C K Tong | CP-/B2/TT | Went forward from a wide barrier but had to make some use early, gave up the lead approaching home turn, driven inside 300 M but no progress, weakened gradually. |
12 | 1 | BRILLIANT CHAPTER (CJ100) | K W Leung | TT | Taken back on jumping from a wide barrier and settled over 10Ls off the strong pace, took a while to pick up and made some headway late on. |
