Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 5 | GRAND FIGHTER (CA225) | W Smith | B | Always within 2Ls or 3Ls off pace in about 6th place but deep on track, mostly 3-wide, briefly 4-wide without cover at 500 M, half a length off pace at 200 M, led 100 M out, kept on well. |
2 | 2 | SIGHT CHAMPION (CC151) | G Mosse | -- | Niggled along when 4-wide without cover 4Ls off pace at 800 M, got cover 3-wide at 600 M and 3-wide into straight and 4Ls off pace in 8th, 2Ls down at 200 M, ran on strongly for 2nd. |
3 | 6 | GRANDWAY SHUTTLE (CB424) | G Schofield | B | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off speed in 4th place until turning for home, half a length down in 3rd and with every chance 200 M out, outpaced closing stages. |
4 | 3 | GOLDEN FARM (CA069) | D Dunn | -- | Best away and soon led on fence, never clear by more than 1L, half a length to the good entering straight, a neck clear at the 200 M, soon headed, no extra. |
5 | 8 | LIGHTNING BOLT (CA313) | F Coetzee | V | Always 3-wide without cover in 3rd within 1L of the lead until home straight, a neck 2nd at the 200 M, couldn't sustain challenge. |
6 | 12 | BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) | D Whyte | -- | On fence about 3Ls off pace in 7th until straightening up, 2Ls down and crowded on inner 200 M, held up for a run and not ridden out concluding stages. |
7 | 4 | ALWAYS WELCOME (CC183) | C Williams | B | A little slowly away, 2-wide in midfield about 2Ls off pace through to home straight, short of room at the 200 M but never looked like picking up principals. |
8 | 9 | CIRCUIT KINGDOM (CB046) | W C Marwing | B- | Awkwardly away, always outpaced, 2-wide 10Ls off pace 800 M out, stayed on quite well to be nearest at the finish. |
9 | 1 | MASTER YING (CB249) | R Fradd | -- | 2-wide with cover and 5Ls off pace at 800 M, driven along at the 600 M when becoming detached, 8Ls down entering straight, one-paced. |
10 | 7 | MAJIN BUU (CC334) | A Marcus | V1 | 2-wide 1L off pace in 2nd place 800 M out, a neck down in 2nd off home turn and with every chance, dropped out tamely. |
11 | 11 | CHATER JADE (BV063) | M W Leung | B | Always outpaced, 3-wide 7Ls off pace at the 800 M in 10th place, never on terms. |
12 | 10 | YACHT MASTER (CB038) | K S Yu | B/TT | Awkwardly away, 8Ls off pace at 800 M, never a factor. |
