Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 12 | NEW TRIUMPH (CG105) | S K Sit | CP | Always prominent about 1L off the speed in 3rd but posted 3-wide no cover, kept on to be a head back in 3rd with 200 M to go, poked head in front soon after and just held on. |
2 | 5 | EASY PUNCH (CB276) | D Nikolic | -- | Dropped out 7Ls last down the backstretch, about 5Ls down in 11th entering home straight, swooped very strongly down centre of track but the line came a stride too soon. |
3 | 3 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | D Whyte | -- | Always 2-wide and about 1L down in 2nd until home straight, nosed into a narrow lead at the 200 M but marginally headed soon after and kept on at same pace. |
4 | 1 | DR POSSI (CE288) | C W Wong | -- | Deepest on track 4-wide no cover about 3Ls down in midfield down backstretch, pressed on to challenge from 600 M to home turn, every chance when vying for lead 200 M out, one-paced close home. |
5 | 8 | CELESTIAL WONDER (CG046) | O Doleuze | SR-/TT- | Very awkward break and lost ground at start, recovered to be 3-back on fence about 4Ls back in 9th or so until home turn, stayed on fairly, nearest at finish. |
6 | 11 | AURELIAN (CC025) | H W Lai | B2 | Mostly covered up about 3Ls back in mid-pack until home straight, plugged on thereafter and never really looked like figuring in the money. |
7 | 10 | CHOSEN ONE (CD347) | Y T Cheng | -- | Had the run of the race in 4th about 2Ls off pace on fence until home turn, had every opportunity to at least place when left with clear run and 1L off speed at 200 M, failed to pick up. |
8 | 9 | MASTER YING (CB249) | K S Yu | B | Away well and soon led on fence, a little less than 1L clear until home turn, marginally headed about 200 M out, battled on but tired a little close home. |
9 | 7 | HEALTHY FRUITS (CC193) | R Fradd | TT | Broke well and handily placed 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in 5th early on, came under pressure from 600 M and slipped further back turning for home, one-paced from then on. |
10 | 2 | WAFER KING (CD276) | B Prebble | TT | Always towards rear about 4Ls off the pace and over-raced in places, a little closer when 4-wide turning for home, tired close home. |
11 | 4 | CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) | A Delpech | B | Checked and lost prominent position at 1100 M, 4Ls back in midfield at 800 M, no better off taking final bend, pretty weak in the homestretch and never dangerous. |
12 | 6 | PROFIT HILL (CE274) | N Ryan | CP | Always in rear, 6Ls back in 11th at 700 M, slightly closer entering straight but never looked like beating more than one home. |
