1 | 2 | SUPREME WIN (CK204) | O Doleuze | CP | Out with first few, pressed on when posted 3 wide but forced to race without cover, did work to bend, joined in at 300 M and stuck to task solidly pulling out everything to score. |
2 | 3 | HIGH POINT (CH215) | C Y Ho | CP | Showed speed, sat outside leader, aided by steady tempo in mid-section, took over briefly at 250 M, in battle for most of straight and narrowly deprived late. Well clear of 3rd. |
3 | 11 | MR CELERITY (CL003) | M L Yeung | TT | Standard jump, ridden hard to drive up and take lead, dropped speed in front, had terms to suit until bend, headed inside 300 M and couldn't find extra to stay with first two. |
4 | 14 | IMPECCABLE (CL383) | C K Tong | XB1 | Drifted back soon after start, 3 to 4Ls back in running line, not helped by tempo, improved between horses turning, picked up well final 200 M to make frame. (See Racing Incidents regarding riding.) |
5 | 6 | FINAL ANSWER (CL178) | D Beadman | XB/H/TT | Out in line, took a midfield spot 3 to 4Ls away, overraced and moved 3 wide in midfield, into clear from bend but found it hard to dash given way race was run. Just battled. |
6 | 13 | WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (CH145) | K C Leung | XB/H2 | Restrained to rails, behind midfield but only 4Ls back when pace slackened, kept to rails turning, just held ground in straight. |
7 | 10 | ISLAND SUPER (CH297) | W M Lai | TT | Slow into stride, settled 5Ls away on rails, harmed by steady tempo throughout, still well back turning, made only minor headway final 300 M. |
8 | 9 | GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) | D Whyte | -- | Restrained from a wide gate, ended up with last few 5Ls back in running line, came 3 wide on circle, lacked a response but never really suited by tempo throughout. |
9 | 8 | TOUCH GO (CL254) | Y T Cheng | -- | Out only fairly, pressed forward from an outside gate, 4 wide without cover in mid-section, up challenging leaders on bend, folded at 200 M when hard run took toll. |
10 | 7 | GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) | C W Wong | -- | Showed speed, took a trail soon after, had OK run despite checked at 900 M, there to bend, didn't let down in straight and gradually lost touch. |
11 | 1 | KILDARE (CJ198) | J Lloyd | SR | Out on line, drifted back and then pushed wider when pace slackened, 4 wide with cover and overraced to bend, dropped right out in straight. (Roarer.) |
12 | 12 | NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) | T H So | B | Caught very wide in midfield early, hampered at 800 M, drifted back toward the rear at the bend, failed to make up any ground in the home straight. |
