Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 4 | REAL SUPREME (CL247) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Pressed forward from a wide gate to race outside leader, kept leader honest throughout and threw down challenge at 400m, was headed by 2nd horse at 200m but fought back strongly to score. |
2 | 3 | VOILE ROUGE (M343) | D Whyte | B/TT | Began well, took ideal spot 1 out 1 back, all favours 2Ls back throughout, set out after leaders at 400m and gained advantage but unable to contain eventual winner who fought back late. |
3 | 10 | I SMELL MONEY (M019) | F Coetzee | B | Fast into stride, took a sit on leaders back, fair run using little to bend, right there at 400m but lacked dash to go with principals, kept on honestly for 3rd. |
4 | 13 | OPEN SESAME (CL091) | J Lloyd | TT | No early pace, ended up behind midfield on rails, enjoyed a quiet trip 5Ls away, saved ground rounding turn and set out after lead group at 400m, did well to make inroads and take 4th. |
5 | 11 | MY NAME IS BOND (M287) | Y T Cheng | -- | Raced in rearward division 8Ls of so away from lead, angled off rails rounding bend, closed best of rest making good ground to be nearest at finish. |
6 | 2 | CHATER MIKADO (M100) | W C Marwing | B2 | Tardy into stride, dropped down to rear, best part of 12Ls back, made run widest turn and made many lengths in straight to be closest on line. |
7 | 12 | JUMBO GOLD (CK393) | M Du Plessis | TT | Even break, raced just behind pace on rails 3-4Ls back, no excuses to bend, one paced when clear and dropped off final 200m. |
8 | 7 | FORTUNE RED PEPPER (CK199) | A Suborics | -- | Slow into stride, settled at rear on rails 10Ls or more off lead, still plenty to do on bend, took inside runs and made some late ground without threatening. |
9 | 14 | HAPPY YEAH YEAH (M085) | M L Yeung | B | Pressed forward from outside gate and used a bit to lead, kept speed genuine in middle stages, headed at 400m and kept giving but work and additional trip took toll final furlong. |
10 | 8 | FREDERICK ENGELS (N187) | B Prebble | SR | Assumed a midfield position, raced 4-5Ls back in running line, hung approaching bend and didn't put in thereafter with jockey easing final furlong. |
11 | 6 | ALL ROUND (N222) | K C Ng | -- | Settled just off midfield 6-7Ls back in running line, fair run mid section, one paced when pressure applied and made no serious progress. |
12 | 1 | PIZZAZZ (CL145) | K C Leung | H/TT | Drifted back from a tricky alley, 10Ls or so away at rear, still well back to bend, lacked usual turn of foot and only passed tired ones late. |
13 | 9 | SPIRIT SOARING (N099) | T Clark | H1/TT | No early pace, settled in rear division, 8Ls away middle stages, came 3 wide turning, no real impression. |
14 | 5 | LEELI'S STAR (N219) | O Doleuze | SR1 | Unable to slot in and settled in midfield 3 wide without cover, 4-5Ls back, struggling before turn, dropped right out. |
