Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 9 | FUN CRUISER (CD167) | C W Wong | B | Always travelled well but 6Ls back towards rear at 1100 M, 5Ls back in midfield swinging for home, ran on well to hit lead in last few bounds. |
2 | 5 | WIN FORTUNE (CB338) | Y T Cheng | B/TT- | Disputed lead out 3-wide no cover at 1200 M, led at 1000 M, 1L clear on fence from 800 M to home turn, still 1L clear and looked like hanging on before being grabbed final 20 M. |
3 | 1 | NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) | K L Chui | -- | Always close up and not much worse than 1L off pace in 2nd or 3rd through to home straight, had every chance to win but lacked the dash. |
4 | 6 | AWESOME EAGLE (CE077) | H W Lai | SR/CP1/TT | Mostly 4th about 2Ls or 3Ls off speed until home turn when had ridden, had every chance to place but just too one-paced. |
5 | 14 | WIN DANCER (CC357) | F Coetzee | TT | Led on fence 1400 M out, headed at 1000 M and settled into box-seat position 2Ls off pace in 3rd or so until home turn, given every hope to at least place, didn't fire. |
6 | 4 | ESPRIT D'OR (CD295) | W C Marwing | TT | Dropped out last on fence between 7Ls and 9Ls behind pace until home turn, made some fair late ground on the fence, nearest at finish. |
7 | 3 | MADE IN HONGKONG (CD139) | C Munce | B | Bumped at start, always about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace in midfield, kept on dourly in homestretch without really threatening to place. |
8 | 12 | NEW TAMAR (CE156) | S Dye | B | Slowest away, driven along in 12th about 8Ls off speed at 1200 M, marginally closer turning for home, plugged on and never dangerous. |
9 | 11 | SPEED WINNER (CB195) | A Delpech | B-/PC2 | Switched from wide gate closer to fence, 8Ls off pace in rear at 1000 M, always well behind. |
10 | 8 | BRAVERY LUCK (CE108) | K T Yeung | B-/P1 | 2-wide and 6Ls back in 10th at 1000 M, no closer taking final turn, very weak. |
11 | 10 | STAR OF NORTHERN (CD173) | W M Lai | V/TT | Niggled along to hold 5th place 3Ls off speed at 1100 M, 5Ls down in midfield and hard ridden off final bend, weakened out tamely. |
12 | 2 | STEP FORWARD (CB166) | D Whyte | B/SR | 3-wide no cover when 6Ls back in 9th with 1100 M to go, further back and struggling turning for home, soon eased down, unacceptable performance. |
13 | 13 | CITY GLORY (CD063) | H K Yim | TT | Niggled along when 4Ls back in 6th at 1200 M, 5Ls down and hard pressed in midfield taking home turn, fell back very quickly and beaten a long way, unacceptable performance. |
14 | 7 | MAXIMUM JOY (CA025) | M W Leung | B | 2-wide and 5Ls down in 8th at 1100 M, further back and struggling turning for home, soon eased down, unacceptable performance. |
