Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 6 | FLAMING RABBIT (H257) | L Hewitson | SR/XB | Soon led, took them along at a pace slower than standard, continued on well passing 400M, held off pursuing rivals comfortably over final stages. |
2 | 11 | FIND MY LOVE (H110) | M L Yeung | H/TT | From draw 1 moved up to track leaders, angled out 450M to challenge, closed off well to go 2nd near 100M but couldn't quite get to the winner. |
3 | 3 | SAUVESTRE (E315) | L Ferraris | TT | Pressed forward to be racing outside the lead, tried hard on straightening but not going the pace to challenge leader, kept on steadily to hold 3rd. |
4 | 1 | HOWDEEPISYOURLOVE (H093) | H Bowman | -- | Taken back from wide draw, waited with near the rear, brought wide to challenge early straight, closed off well under top weight, just missed 3rd. |
5 | 7 | GALAXY WITNESS (G110) | C Y Ho | B- | Jumped only fairly, recovered to a midfield position along the inside, 5th at 400M, kept on steadily towards the line, always held by leaders. |
6 | 9 | CALIFORNIA TEN (E045) | A Badel | B/TT | Not hurried after the start, dropped back to race at the rear, finished off moderately final 400M, not reach leaders. |
7 | 5 | A PAL (G393) | K C Leung | CP/TT | Held up 3-wide in midfield, gave limited response when driven out top of straight. No threat to leaders. (Jockey : his mount did not appreciate the "Good To Yielding" track conditions.) |
8 | 8 | SUPER WIN DRAGON (E253) | C L Chau | V/TT | Jumped fast, soon restrained to race in midfield 4Ls back, ran on one paced in the straight, never a winning threat. |
9 | 12 | BRAVEHEARTS (H389) | M Dee | XB1/TT1 | Slow to begin, settled towards the rear racing along the fence, 6Ls to make up 400M but lacked a finishing response, ran past beaten horses only. |
10 | 13 | AMAZING VICTORY (G123) | K Teetan | -- | Pushed along after the start to go forward, steadied 1300M then continued to race keenly through the early and middle stages, left without a finishing effort in the straight, never dangerous. |
11 | 4 | FLYING ACE (G045) | Z Purton | B | Jumped only fairly, raced keenly behind midfield, was steadied away from the heels of a rival for some distance near 800M, 3-wide making the turn for home, unable to finish the race off as well as expected. |
12 | 10 | EXPLOSIVE WITNESS (B001) | K H Chan | SR/XB | Raced keenly towards the rear in early stages, caught 4-wide no cover from 1000M, moved closer to midfield making home turn, came up empty passing 350M. |
13 | 14 | ORIENTAL SMOKE (E467) | L Currie | B | Chased leaders, came under pressure 550M, soon weakened on straightening. |
14 | 2 | CHANCHENG PRINCE (D270) | H Bentley | XB/TT | Caught wide no cover from draw 14, crept closer to leaders passing 1000M, no extra from 300M, weakened to last. |
