Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 7 | FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) | D Whyte | SR/TT | Raced prominently in 5th or so and about 3Ls off speed until home turn, picked up well to lead 150 M out, driven out to hang on. |
2 | 12 | RED WINE HONEY (CE287) | Y T Cheng | B | Slowly away, settled towards rear about 6Ls off speed early on and similarly placed taking final bend, ran on strongly from off pace but post came too soon. |
3 | 13 | X-SPEED (CC341) | C W Wong | B | Soon disputing early lead, 1L clear at 1000 M and 2Ls to the good at top of home straight, grabbed by winner 150 M out, tired and barely hung onto 3rd place. |
4 | 5 | SILVER MARK (CE226) | B Prebble | V/TT | Box-seated in 3rd position about 2Ls off speed, had every chance to at least place but lacked the gears. (Epiglottic entrapment.) |
5 | 4 | KING HOGAN (CE257) | E Saint-Martin | B | Slowly away and always last about 8Ls off pace until home turn, made some decent late ground, never nearer. |
6 | 8 | TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) | G Schofield | B/TT | Always midfield about 4Ls off pace, never threatened to get much closer in homestretch. |
7 | 9 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | K S Yu | -- | 3-wide with cover when prominent at 1200 M, 3Ls down in 4th at 1000 M and same turning for home, had every chance to place if good enough. |
8 | 3 | CYPRESS HILL (CE061) | F Coetzee | CP- | Always midfield about 5Ls off pace, never really threatened to draw closer after final bend. |
9 | 1 | SERIOUS PLAY (CC003) | H W Lai | -- | 3-wide with cover one from rear and about 7Ls from the front through to home turn, made only very minor late ground. |
10 | 10 | TSUNAMI (CD105) | W M Lai | CP | Slowly away, settled around midfield on fence about 5Ls off pace early, niggled along to take closer order at 1000 M, 4Ls down in 6th at top of homestretch, one-paced. |
11 | 14 | SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) | K L Chui | TT | Always caught 3 and 4-wide no cover in midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed, dropped out from top of home straight. |
12 | 2 | SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) | D Dunn | B/TT | Sent on out 5-wide no cover early, 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 800 M, faded out from top of home straight and eased down final 200 M. |
13 | 11 | CENAMIRA (CD129) | S K Sit | B | Always struggling in rear group, never much better than 6Ls off pace at any stage, under pressure when wide turning for home, soon well beaten. |
14 | 6 | SUPER IDEAL (CC223) | R Fradd | -- | Always near rear about 6Ls from the front, never on terms and eased down a long way out. |
